Re: Official Disney INDIANA JONES Suede? Leather Jacket

Any idea when the knock offs were sold at Disneyland? I purchased one in '97 removed the label shortly after purchase. Michaelson, I remember you identifying the leather as napa and Rundquist complimented the jacket that it was one of the few jackets (at the time) that nailed the LC collar.
