The Ringo Starr Abbey Road "Crosswalk" Jacket

Ringo had the original coat custom made by a tailor in London in early 1968. Shortly after, George Harrison commissioned the same tailor to also custom make one for himself. Both Beatles wore their new coats to the world premiere of the Yellow Submarine film on July 17, 1968. The jacket was a favorite of Ringo’s and he was frequently photographed wearing it throughout the late 60’s. August of 1969 also found him wearing the coat the morning the famous Abbey Road crosswalk photo was taken, certainly one of the most recognized photos ever taken of the band.

The Beatles assembled for a photo session one last time on the 22nd of August 1969, at John Lennon’s ‘Tittenhurst’ home. One again, Harrison chose to wear his “crosswalk” jacket for the session and the photos graced the front and back cover of the Hey Jude album. This coat remains the only article of clothing to be seen on two different Beatle album covers.
