Fully-lined brown leather jacket features a yellow Club applique on the front and a patch sewn within embroidered with Shaw's name. Its label identifies the leather as genuine pony skin and its brand as Knopf Sportswear. Wear and fading, with some scattered fraying to lining and knit cuffs, else near fine.
