Overview
- Patty Schemel has consigned the light-blue 'Foxes' T‑shirt to Julien’s Auctions and the listing shows bids at $8,000, which is higher than the house estimate of $4,000–$6,000.
- Schemel’s signed letter of authenticity dated May 1, 2026 recounts that Kurt Cobain chose the shirt during a 1993 Anton Corbijn photoshoot and gave it to her, and the listing includes garment measurements.
- The shirt was worn by Cobain for the 1993 session whose black‑and‑white portrait is one of Nirvana’s most recognisable images and is used as the band’s Spotify banner.
- The sale is placed against a strong market for Cobain items, where guitars and other pieces have fetched multi‑million dollar prices and often outperformed estimates, raising public interest in even smaller lots.
- Schemel’s role as Hole’s drummer and her 2017 memoir Hit So Hard provide direct provenance for the piece and explain why she kept the shirt, which may shape buyer interest and the final price.
