Anyone with a half million dollars of loose change to spend on a piece of iconic ’80s fashion? Anyone? Anyone?
The vest Matthew Broderick donned nearly 40 years ago for “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” is going under an auctioneer’s hammer with an estimated price 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.
He played charming slacker Bueller, who faked being sick and enjoyed a glorious day of hooky in Chicago with his girlfriend, played by Mia Sara, and pal, portrayed by Alan Ruck.
Bueller had that vest on when he visited the Art Institute of Chicago, took in a Cubs game at Wrigley Field and took over a parade in the beloved 1986 movie.
