TWO TONE BUCKSKIN A-1 STYLE JACKET






Needless to say ,i'm glad that still have this beauty in my collection.As we all know it'll cost me a kidney nowadays.Love the use of the inside and out of the hide to achieve the  two tone effect .All the common and desirable details are present but the unusual DOT zipper tops them all.Was this a Scovill early attempt to enter the zippers competition under its DOT brand !??i haven't research this so far .So if anyone knows, feel free to post ........

  2. I've never seen a Dot zipper before... One would think it would be military grade, no?

  4. I thought DOT zippers were made by the British (now Australian) company Carr Fastners ?
