The garment is being sold in LA on Friday to mark 25 years since the singer’s untimely death.
The body of the American 27-year-old was found at his Seattle home by an electrician who had come to fit a home security system.
He had shot himself in the head and was found to have had a large amount of heroin in his system.
The Nirvana frontman’s hospital gown from his legendary Reading Festival set previously went on sale for £40,000.

Cobain was pushed on to the stage in a wheelchair at the 1992 show, considered one of the band’s greatest gigs.
Cobain’s on-off partner Courtney Love gave the gown to a shocked fan who had attended a vigil for him, two years after the star’s death.
The fan kept hold of it for 25 years before deciding to consign it for sale.
