I'll try and snap the 'Peters': particularly the lining with its excellent flying ducks.

That`s very interesting to know.

Thank you, Mr. Catalina.

You can see something of a paisley-ish type lining in the  pic linked above and below:

It actually looks a little similar to the gold patterned lining in your own Derby jacket pictured on the left.The Derby does seem to have a slouchy McQueen-ish vibe to it, eh? I suppose we can`t be sure what he`s wearing. I suppose McQueen`s jacket in the pic might also have a button at the top, rather than a press stud.

I still want and need to see a Peters.It`d be great if One Trick Pony could post one.


Thank you once again, Mr. Catalina.

Hey guy, I saw the post on the Derby Jackets--well I grew up in San Francisco..and we always wore the derby jackets--i had a UPS brown, and a few of the
dark blue.  I would like to know more about the Catlina Jackets...I think the LA cholos back in the 70's and 80's wore em.....in the Bay area, if you were a dude and did not wear a derby you were viewed as a sissy----the derby was the best tuff guys jacket ever made...i think the company went overseas in the mid 80's and the jackets went down down hill--cheaper material, plastic zipper etc.

UM, dows catlina still make the derby style jackets...  when I worked as a tow truck driver in the early 1990's, the company had bought a whole bunch of derbys..so all of us drivers wore the blue ones...until slowly the company changed into dickies...I hate dickies

I still wear my Ben Davis pants, and my derby...I have a few I collect...a UPS brown, a blue, and a dark black...

Who invented the Derby---wear was Catalina made at......did a lot of dudes wear the catlina jackets back then....

You have any derbys or just Catalinas?
