Jamie "Jim" Graham's (Christian Bale) leather jacket from Steven Spielberg's Oscar-nominated WWII epic Empire of the Sun.

Although this part as Spielberg's lead was not his first role, it was the first time the masses witnessed the rare prowess of a future Oscar-winning Bale, and the catalyst moment of an illustrious career full of diverse and captivating performances.

Jim wore his jacket throughout his time in the internment camp, with the distressing of the patch on the back a close match to that seen on his jacket near the end of the film during the camp's forced evacuation. Costume designer Bob Ringwood earned an Academy Award® and BAFTA® nomination for his contribution to the film.

The brown faux leather jacket features a China Burma India Theater patch on the arm and a large 'blood chit' patch on the back. A black "J" is written on the collar. The jacket is missing its detachable faux-fur collar and exhibits significant wear from use, including tears to the leather and lining on the left breast pocket, both arms, and the wool cuffs and waist.

Estimate: $5,000 - 10,000
