Hefner’s jacket is on the market

-

A collection of Hugh Hefner’s personal items, including his iconic red smoking jacket, will go up for sale. The Playboy founder died at age 91 in September 2017, after a cardiac arrest and respirator­y failure. A selection of items, including Hefner’s black silk pyjamas and white captain’s hat, will be up for sale in a twoday auction by Julien’s, beginning on Nov. 30. The smoking jacket is expected to fetch US$5,000, while the pyjamas are worth US$2,000. All proceeds from the auction will go to The Hugh M. Hefner Foundation, which was establishe­d in 1964 to advocate for civil liberties and rights. Other items at the auction include one of his signature pipes, a complete set of bound Playboy magazines, an original Playboy Club key, his Hollywood Walk of Fame Star from the mansion, and his Playboy logo cufflinks.
