Anyone with a half million dollars of loose change to spend on a piece of iconic ’80s fashion? Anyone? Anyone?
Nearly 40 years have passed since Matthew Broderick sported the iconic vest in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” and now it is set to be auctioned with a value estimated between $300,000 and $600,000.
Sotheby’s auction house is set to take bids on the garment, owned by former ESPN reporter Darren Rovell, until 2:01 p.m. ET on June 24.
The vest has minimal “pilling and loose threads consistent with age and production-use,” Sotheby’s said.
Broderick, 63, was a successful young Broadway actor when he became a household name thanks to the classic John Hughes coming-of-age comedy.
In the film, he played the effortlessly charming Ferris Bueller, who pretends to be ill to enjoy an adventurous day skipping school in Chicago alongside his girlfriend, played by Mia Sara, and his friend, brought to life by Alan Ruck.
Throughout this beloved 1986 classic, Bueller famously wore the vest while visiting the Art Institute of Chicago, watching a Cubs game at Wrigley Field, and commandeering a parade.
