This white cotton terry robe (a) and belt (b) were used by Muhammad Ali while training in 1980 at Deer Lake, Pennsylvania, for a fight against Larry Holmes. The robe has full-length sleeves, a turned collar, and falls just below the knees. There are two (2) patch pockets, one at each front side waist, with rounded bottom edges. A white rectangular patch with black text reading "EVERLAST" is sewn to the proper left front chest. Two (2) self-fabric belt loops are sewn to the robe, one at each side waist, for securing the self-fabric belt (b). Black leather letters are sewn on the back across the shoulders reading "MUHAMMAD / ALI" with the name Muhammad arcing over the name Ali. The robe is self-lined in white cotton terry.
