Prince's 'Purple Rain' Coat Hits the Auction Block

The jacket formerly known as Prince's is heading to auction.

The purple motorcycle jacket, along with the iconic white ruffled shirt that made sartorial history when Prince paired them together in 1984's Purple Rain, is being sold on eBay alongside 1,700 other pieces of pop culture memorabilia in a star-studded auction set to begin on June 29.

The three-day event, known as Hollywood Auction 83, will feature "...articles of clothing and costumes worn by Alicia Keys, Britney Spears, Marilyn Monroe and Daniel Craig," in addition to a wide array of movie posters and photos, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Bidding for the the ruffled white silk shirt will begin at $3,000. The price for the motorcycle jacket will start at $6,000.
