Although it's a well established consensus that the actual Escape jacket was a RW, re-dyed, i often wonder it must have been a large size for McQueen, looking at the way the whole back and sleeves and shoulder drape on him. Interestingly, I could only re-create the feel by wearing a two size...
non jacket question, your red dog ear fence in the background is exactly like mine and I need to fix mine, do you know where in NJ or NY I can buy the same? Loews?
Gibson Barnes' YKK zippers are the BEST! The resistance when the slider moves along is insane, whatever the mechanism is, the slider is built of top notch material and precision, there's no hiccups like the a new Vanson YKK, and there's no looseness with Chinese made YKK. Quality wise I'd say it...

Yea, noticed that. But still good to obtain first hand proof. Surprisingly no one did a review here. Ken said it's their 40s collar stand model, I think he meant the 1711, a '38 model with collar stand as the 3785 has no collar stand anymore.
