The jacket was worn by Harrison when the Beatles performed in Hamburg, Germany, and then at the Cavern Club in Liverpool in the early 1960s, before they moved to their signature style of matching suits.

The Bonhams Entertainment Memorabilia sale is held on December 12 in London.

Also going on sale are an orange shirt worn by Harrison during the 1971 benefit Concert for Bangladesh at the Madison Square Garden in New York, and a pair of his leather boots from the mid-1960s.

($1 = 0.6292 British pounds)
