Kurt Cobain’s famous cardigan that he wore during Nirvana’s iconic MTV Unplugged concert in 1993 is part of a large selection of music memorabilia going up for auction through Julien’s Live — the home of celebrity and music memorabilia auctions. The cardigan’s a medium-sized Manhattan brand garment made of acrylic, mohair, and lycra with five-button closure (one button absent) with two exterior pockets, a burn hole and discoloration near left pocket and discoloration on right pocket. The cardigan “was obtained from a close friend” expects to fetch between $40,000 and $60,000. A lock of Cobain’s hair is also being offered for $4,000.
