If it has the "Red Dawg" collar label, then it must be one of the original 5-6 jackets. The importer that originally ordered these jackets apparently had pre-sold a large number of jackets to various GM specialty/promotional distributors. When the importer suddenly disappeared [suffering financial problems], there were a number of "unfilled" orders that the distributors had to cancel [so goes the story]. There were apparently several batches of jackets sold to various GM dealers, but the importer never shipped the orders to the distributors. BTW...Red Dawg Leather Co. is most famous for the Red-White-Blue "Corvette" leather jacket. I'm told they produced over 10,000 of those jackets [I got one from the dealer I bought my '91 ZR1 from]. That Corvette jacket order is actually what kept the factory so busy that they never resolved the backorders for these "sYc-Yenko" jackets. Red Dawg was definitely the "horsepower" in leather jackets...you'll notice 2-3 "Camaro" and "Corvette" vintage jackets on eBay right now.

My guess is you have one of the originals. You and I apparently own 2 of the 5-6 made back in the late 80's. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]
