1. Michael Jackson’s Thriller Jacket: The red and black jacket with signature "winged shoulders" that the King of Pop wore during the filming of the iconic "Thriller" music video is the most expensive in history. It was sold to Milton Verret for $1.8 million at Julien’s Auctions, a California-based auction house specializing in items owned by celebrities, in 2011. Designed by Deborah Nadoolman Landis, this jacket has been emulated by celebrities Chris Brown and Kanye West.
2. Gucci Leather Biker Jacket: Made in Italy the badass biker is constructed in a Gucci atelier that specializes in leather goods, and it's here that the jacket begins its 40-hour journey to completion. A lot of that time is spent by skilled craftspeople applying the 2,400 studs by hand, one by one, to the jacket in a mix of geometric and organic patterns. And since this is a Michele-designed Gucci piece with every detail painstakingly considered, there are actually seventeen different types of studs used, finished six different ways, and accessorized with two different types of chains. And then there are extra finishes—like the Gucci logo zippers and snap buttons that hold down the jacket's lapels and collar, or the skull ornament that's placed just under the right shoulder—that separate this jacket even further from any other out there today. This studded-leather biker jacket from Michele's Cruise 2017 collection priced at $18,650.

Hermes Madison Quilted Lambskin Jacket: The Jacket is made of 100 percent lambskin and filled with 90-percent duck down and ten-percent duck feathers which makes it one of the most comfortable leather jackets around.
