Bruce Lee's fans can now buy his clothes and other personal items when they go under the hammer on April 29 here.
The items, including a Stirling Cooper grey cotton jacket that has been signed by martial arts' icon's wife and daughter, his shoes and kicking shield, are being sold by auctioneer Nate D Sanders.
The jacket is inscribed by Shannon Lee and by wife Linda, who has written "This was one of Bruce's most favorite jackets!"
Linda was married to Lee from 1964 till his death in 1973 due to brain haemorrhage. She kept the jacket with her for 20 more years before auctioning it to Beverly Hills Superior Galleries in 1993. The starting bid on the jacket is USD 40,000, said the Hollywood Reporter.
Other items going under the hammer are Lee's leather loafers, a Timex wristwatch and training equipment such as a kicking shield, an elastic waistband, a shin protector and a pull-up bar.
Lee, a native-born San Franciscan, is known for his classic martial arts movies like 'Enter the Dragon' and 'Fist of Fury'. He died at the age of 32.
