In the song "American Pie", when "The Jester sang for the King and Queen", whose coat was he wearing?

In the song "American Pie", when "The Jester sang for the King and Queen", he was wearing a coat that some believed he borrowed from James Dean. The Jester is, in fact, widely considered to be Bob Dylan. This is in part because Dylan wore a red windbreaker on the cover of his 1963 second studio album "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan". The coat was remarkably similar to James Dean's jacket in the 1955 film "Rebel Without a Cause" (both individuals were major cultural figures, each in their own time).

"American Pie" is now deemed to be an iconic song that was created by American singer and songwriter Don McLean. Recorded and released in the "American Pie" album (1971), the single was the No. 1 US hit for four weeks in 1972, starting January after just eight weeks on the Billboard charts. It entered the chart at No. 69.

Due to its exceptional length, it was released as a two-sided 7-inch single. "American Pie" has been described as "one of the most successful and debated songs to be released within the 20th century". Many US college courses on its lyrics have been taught by very knowledgeable and competent professors.
