Many athletes in professional sports seek out some sort of signature item that will identify them for life. For the great fighter Jake LaMotta, the “Raging Bull,” it was his leopard robe. Used in numerous fights throughout his illustrious career LaMotta was easy to identify as soon as he climbed into the ring. Leland’s is proud to offer the famous leopard style robe used by Jake LaMotta in most of his important fights both before and after he won the World Middleweight Title. The robe is full length, with long sleeves and the original sash, and sports the Everlast label in the collar. There is a tear under one arm. There is some slight discoloration from age. The robe is a crushed velour with the unique leopard design. The robe came from the collection of Jake’s equally famous wife Vikki and comes with a full hand-written LOA from her which is dated Sept. 1997. In this LOA she states that Jake used it during the mid to late 1940’s before it was eventually replaced by a similar robe with a hood. Additional LOA from Craig Hamilton of JO Sports, Inc. A photograph of Jake LaMotta is also included, showing him wearing this robe at one of his fights.
