A pair of orange pants worn by Michael Jackson during the rehearsals of his 'This Is it' tour are set to go under the hammer.

Fans looking for more of 'This Is It' tour will have the chance to own a piece of the concert film as Nate D Sanders Inc will auction several items from the late Thriller hitmaker this week, the company announced in a statement.

Amongst them are a pair of orange pants the star wore in the concert documentary depicting Jackson's rehearsals for his planned O2 Arena performances before his untimely death in June 2009, Access Hollywood reported.

"The auction will be held on Thursday, May 20, and is expected to bring in record bids," a company representative said.

Other items which will be auctioned at the event include Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe's handwritten address and phone book and a letter from first American President George Washington.
