JD Jackets

I'm looking for a little info on this:

Like most of the Deere clothing there is no tag indicating the size. I've seen these listed on eBay as women’s, men’s and or unisex so I'm a little confused. There is a brochure picture that I've seen where a woman is wearing a similar jacket, but I think the stripe pattern is a little different and the zipper color appears to also be different

Here are the questions I'm asking myself

1) Men's/Women’s/Unisex?
2) What year(s) was this introduced?
3) Did this have matching bibs, gloves, etc. (what did they look like)?

If anyone has a picture of a brochure page that has this jacket in it I'd love to see it.

I believe the jacket in your photo is a MENS jacket. I have a womens version of that which has elastic sewn in to the waist. (see pic) I don't see it on yours. I have a 79 sales brochure on the way to me, it should be arriving any day, I wonder if it is in there. The mitts in my photo are darn close.

Better pic of elastic. This jacket has the smallest pockets ever.

I think you have the jacket that I noticed on the net. I believe it was a page from the brochure for the 80 sleds.

Your correct, mine doesn't have elastic at the waist and there are a few more red stripes. Think the matching bibs were the ones that had the green, yellow, red stripes running down the legs?

I have a fair amount of clothing and have noticed differences in the US produced clothing and the Canadian made clothing even with the same style jacket pants or suit...

check and see what side of the jacket the zipper is on ?

Paul,

The pull of this jacket is on the right. I had to check the family's coats also while I was at it. Based on my findings I assume that pretty much confirms it is a men's jacket. Learn something new every day, never new womens coats had the pull on the "wrong" side.

My guess it's a men's jacket that was designed to go with the 80 Liquifire model year. My brother had one just like it when he purchased his 80 Liquifire new.

I have been looking for one for awhile, to go with my current project. Not saying I want to buy it, as I am out of cash for the moment.

That's ok Terry. It's not for sale at this time.

Did your brother have the matching bibs? Recall what they looked like?

Thanks for the info you all have provided so far.

I think that JAcket would look nice while riding an 82' liquifire NICK... hint hint.. There is always a pallet and tarp to cover things up.... Not gonna find one cheaper.. Just saying.. Am I a bad influence

womens have the pull on the left of the jacket usually..

Nick,
I don't think they made, what I would call matching bibs, the ones he had were just black, no colors. I have two other suits here just like that, nice colors on the jackets, but just plain black bibs.

Hey Rob, I will trade you even up for the Sporty I'm picking up tomorrow. It has a real nice custom back rest/rack on back.

I looked in my 79 brochure and they have that very jacket listed as: "Deluxe Black Jacket with Piping" "available in men and ladies' sizes." It also came in white for that year. Doesn't show matching gloves. I also found in my 80 and 81 brochure's a one piece suit just like the jacket with matching gloves.
Hope this helps!
