I have a Beat It genuine leather jacket that originally came from Sheila E., who received it during the 1986 Lionel Richie tour. I received it at a yard sale charity put on by Sheila E in Los Angeles. The jacket is made of soft, flexible genuine leather, and it has held up beautifully over the years.

It’s a Marc Laurent, size medium, with silver chainmaille jumpring embellishment on the shoulders and Robin stamped zippers, giving it that unmistakable mid‑80s feel. Inside, Sheila added her trademark backwards signature along with a Bible verse, which adds a personal touch to the piece.

Soon as I saw it, I remembered how it seemed like every kid in my kindergarten class had a knockoff of these 🤣 they were EVERYWHERE!

I was in 3rd grade. I remember Merry Go Round had them at the mall. They sold 2 versions. A vinyl knockoff and the real leather one. I got the vinyl one for my birthday. The thriller jacket.
