This article is substantially duplicated by a piece in an external publication. Please do not flag this article as a copyright violation of the following source: Rotimi Ogunjob (2006), The Essential Jimi Hendrix Additional comments Following concerns quite rightly raised about duplicated content between this article and the book, I did a history search on the text, looking for the run "recording regimen" and find it entered in this edit in 2006. The red flag there: it didn't enter as one piece of cloth, but was edited from what already existed. If you look at the content as it appears in that book, which also purports to have been created in 2006, you can see that the changes in that incremental edit are all in that source. I took the text string as it appeared before that change--"went from a disciplined recording ethic"--and followed it backwards from there. It was added earlier that month by an IP. Already in the article at the time of that addition, we find "relatively narrow neck", which text is present in that book on page 32, along with the surrounding material. A search for that in the article finds it entering in July 2004, several years before The Essential Jimi Hendrix was published. Already in the article at that time is the phrase "slipped into his bag by a fan without his knowledge" which is on page 21 of the book. This is all strongly suggestive of natural evolution here. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:23, 29 July 2012 (UTC) reply

Many of Jimi Hendrix clothes were designed and made by Michael Braun of Michael & Toni Designs out of Tampabay Florida. The crushed velvet pants that Jimi wore at Woodstock, Michael hand crushed the velvet. An interview with Michael Braun is in the Experience Hendrix magazine. A letter exists from Jimi to Michael & Toni asking for more clothes describing that clothes should be especially made as art.The velvet patchwork jacket hanging in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame was also made by Michael as well as the flowered printed shirt shown in Life Magazine published in 1969.

Renton, as a smaller municipality in King County, is often historically conflated with Seattle. Renton's Chamber of Commerce will gladly confirm that Hendrix was born and spent much of his youth there. Hendrix is also listed as a Notable Person on Renton, Washington.
