Indy 500 jacket
Has anyone heard of a Jacket that Don Yenko gave those employees who accompanied him to Indy. I have one that I got from a former employee that has the cloth patches with the Indy 500 logo as well as a cloth patch with the Yenko symbol. Joe Maggio

As soon as I figure how to transfer pics to Windows 10 I will. Not for sale goes well with all titles to this car.

Indy 500 Jacket
The jacket is very similar to the posted pic. It is blue has red white and blue stripe and the aforementioned patches sewn 0n the stripe. It was made by Bonner from Bonner Springs Kansas. I have emailed the Manufacturer and have yet to hear from them. I will work diligently to get pics for you.
