The suit, will be among items auctioned in Connecticut, which will include the blazer Lennon wore in the Imagine music video and a 1972 Chrysler station wagon that once belonged to Lennon and Yoko Ono.
Auction house co-owner Gary Braswell said that the suit's current owner decided to sell after experiencing some economic hardship.
Mr Braswell said he did know how much the wool-blend suit would fetch, at the auction on New Year's Day, but noted that the suit and blazer together sold for $120,000 in 2005.
The 30th anniversary of Lennon's death was on Dec. 8.
