Even the fashion houses are apparently doing reasonably classic looking nylon these days. This L2B homage looks particularly good. It's even got a waist tab.

The man on the left is Yuri Gagarin. He has the double record of being the first man in space and the first to orbit the earth, April 12, 1961. Sadly, he died on March 27, 1968. If he had lived, he could have probably made millions!

Her name is Zendaya, apparently a pretty big recording artist. At least she smiles a lot, even surrounded by body guards, unlike so many young stars! Here is one of her songs. I need to remind my self to stop saying I hate all of todays music, this ones not half bad!

 

[Atticus Finch]

Aliumium Scovill main zip and a Conmar Gripper on the cigarette pocket. Pocket flaps and no little tag on the left shoulder. Looks like a well worn original E-series Alpha.
