vintage chevy jacket
Anyone know where I can get a chevy jacket like the one below. Minus the 'keep on truckin' patch, please.
 Need an XL. Thanks.

Re: vintage chevy jacket
They pop up on ebay fairly often. An XL might be more scarce than the smaller sizes. Blue is the most common with Red being next and White the rarest. I almost had a White one a couple of years ago but a certain Member here, (now a moderator) wanted it more than me.
  I have a few; mostly the summer weight, but you'll also see them as an insulated winter version and in two lengths.

Re: vintage chevy jacket
I have a few of them.. They are cool to collect.. I was lucky to find one in an XL a few years ago on e-bay.. They do not pop up too often.. Usually they are medium or small sizes that my 4 year old nephew would have trouble wearing.. They seem to run small in sizing..

Re: vintage chevy jacket
What is the price range these go for? Does anyone know a vendor that sells new ones that have a similar look, but can be worn and not just wall art. Although very cool wall art, if they don't fit well I would like to find one that does. One that can be customized with patches and not worry about ruining a vintage jacket. I think I will look around for one of the originals since they are very cool.

Re: vintage chevy jacket
Blue jackets in an 'undesirable' size can go for $20. The more desirable sizes and colors will be more. A Red or White jacket with a patch from one of the Hi-Po dealers can easily hit $200 - $400. I watched a 'new-in-the-bag' White jacket with a Gibb patch sell for BIG money at a charity auction a couple of years ago. $1500 to $2000 isn't uncommon.
