Waterproof Cotton Bush Jacket

This great looking jacket was only offered in the Holiday 1986 catalogue. Thanks to a fellow collector for sending in these awesome pictures of his!

From the catalogue: “Our winterized bush jacket shrugs off downpours and carries on valiantly in pea-supers. We adapted the classic bush style-epaulets, four cargo pockets, double-buttoning cuffs, leather-buckled belt-in our new lightly waxed cotton, with a full Portuguese flannel lining (sleeves, too and corduroy trim on the collar and inner cuffs. Now no one need suffer from bush-jacket withdrawal in inclement times.”
