Stage Clothing

Many of Jimi Hendrix clothes were designed and made by Michael Braun of Michael & Toni Designs out of Tampabay Florida. The crushed velvet pants that Jimi wore at Woodstock, Michael hand crushed the velvet. An interview with Michael Braun is in the Experience Hendrix magazine. A letter exists from Jimi to Michael & Toni asking for more clothes describing that clothes should be especially made as art.The velvet patchwork jacket hanging in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame was also made by Michael as well as the flowered printed shirt shown in Life Magazine published in 1969.

Hendrix is actually from Renton, not Seattle

Renton, as a smaller municipality in King County, is often historically conflated with Seattle. Renton's Chamber of Commerce will gladly confirm that Hendrix was born and spent much of his youth there. Hendrix is also listed as a Notable Person on Renton, Washington.
