The one and only Pancho Barnes. And btw, quite a cast of characters, if not legends in their own right, on that photo, apart from Pancho Barnes and Chuck Yeager - from left: Jack Ridley, Ike Northrup, Pete Everest, P. Barnes, Chuck Yeager and Clarence "Bud" Anderson. Gus Askounis at the keyboard.

Wow, I didn't realize this was a jacket type Greg offers, as it's not listed on his website. How did you come by this beauty?
It's a full custom design / pattern. I used various design features from vintage and repro aviator jackets and combined them into one design. The ball and chain chest zipper is a 30s original, as are the corozo buttons (I hand dyed them to match the color of the jacket).


Design inspiration:
