As I recall the very first jackets that were ordered when Pete Dayton was president they were London Fogs. After some time passed and we needed to order more for the new members and to replace some of the old ones. London Fog no longer carried our color or style (not real sure what the case was) so we found almost the same jackets from Peters and were less expensive for us. That's how I remember it!!

Life is a learning experience and then you die but when you do you've lived a good life if you contributed to your fellow man.

cool john as you said you're a lucky man I have to throw this in. As I was finishing my previous post I was buzzed on the phone. Peter Dayton was there and we had a good chat. He and his wife Claudia are spending a week with Gary Huggins in the Tucson area. Got to speak with Huggins as well and gave him the "jacket" update. He was pleased. ;)It is always good to talk to old fiends like those two as I feel without their efforts way back most of this VW stuff might not be happening today.

Ron Fleming does still have his original DKP Peters jacket and wears it occasionally. Unlike some of us Ron has maintained his size so the jacket still fits pretty good.
Here is a photo of Ron and his Frost Wife Lisa at one of the Bug-Ins, probably 1970 or 1971 leaning against my car (then Firemist Green) wearing the jacket.
