aussiefan Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I know someone will be able to answers this. Crocketts', season 3, jackets. The ones that are a shorter cut, they were in grey(love that one), blue/purple and several other colours. The credits say some wardrobe supplied by "Parrachute". I am assuming this was the manufacturer. Can't find this type, now. Not sure if anyone knows where to find this type of jackett, or if you can still get them.I have a white, similar type, from the 80s', but it is more awaiters jacket. Was thinking of getting a tailor to try and copy it, with a few changes to the Crockett style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were light as a feather and had pockets all over them. I loved those pants!It was one of those fashion things that came and went..............I wish they would make them again.

The jackets in question were not from parachute. Parachute made clothes out of, well, parachute material, thus the name. The jacket's your talking about were cotton, and some were silk.I don't have too much info for you, but I hope what I did supply helps. :prost: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will keep you posted as to my success, or lack of, in this pursuit.Thanks for the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
