I have this Losi jacket here. Does anyone have any details about these, were they for sale or team drivers clothing? Also any idea what year these were from?





Paul.

did you get it of ebay lately ? i saw one there last week

i believe they were available for purchase. early to mid 90's if i remember right.

i'm sure there is a losi brochure or catalog sheet in the scan archive somewhere that shows it. i did a really quick search but didn't come up with any.

Cool as! This would have been around the early 90s - Joel 'Magic' Johnson wore one during the World in 93 ~ see the beginning of this video;

What size is it - looks pretty large to me (or you have small doors!)

That's the narrowest door in the house, it's a cupboard door

That jacket is a size large, so not too big. The material is a bit like the shellsuit material that was all the rage around then. I didn't get it recently, Losi isn't really my thing It came with a bundle of other bits n bobs.

if it had been associated i would have been all over it .. but nice find in a lot

That is the ugliest and the coolest thing. Too bad Im kinda a XL kinda guy myself

I knew I'd seen that recently, so went to one of my 'piles-o-crap' and found this sheet...
Was in a pile of Losi stuff that ranged from JRX2 and Junior to XX-CR and even XXX, so I'd be inclined to go with early - mid 90s.

So early to mid 90's it is then I'm not sure I would ever wear it though, it is very pink, the picture doesn't do it justice.

This is true, now if it had been a classy Schumacher jacket I'd wear it every day

If it were a Schumacher jacket it would have adjustable arm lengths, zipper throws, pocket depths, and collar diameter!

I love this jacket! Sooo old school

If it was a Schumacher jacket, the original owner would never have given it up. Losi, on the other hand.....

Now, where's the pot-stirring emoticon?

I couldn't find a Schumacher jacket but I found this... I hear the team drivers wear them for good luck when building their cars

(Yes just stirring the pot, I like Schumacher- I just don't "like like" them )

I'm not going to ask how you knew where to look for that particular item......
