Provenance

This fairly simple, but rather nice little jacket dates from the 1970's and was 'gucci gear' for cross country skiers in Norway, way back then. Mick Tighe bought it when he was training with the British Biathlon team in Norway, but since then it's been sitting in a box feeling lonely. So now it's got lots of other jackets and things for company in our collection. Don't know anything about 'Claudette' the company that made it - probably one of many that were knocking out this stuff in those days.
