The Spirit of '76 in 1973?

Ski-Doo was making a fashion statement with their 1973 women's one-piece snowmobile suit with its trench coat style back pocket yoke, the forward facing non-functional epaulettes on the shoulders, and the red and white stripes over the opalescent/iridescent blue shell. It's like they were 3 years early for the 1976 patriotic celebration commemorating the American Revolution of 1776. This red, white and blue beauty is one of my vintage snowmobile suits I am now making available for someone else to enjoy.

I call it the Blue-winged Teal Jacket

As the snowmobiles evolved during the 1970's and beyond so did the winter fashions they provided to compliment their snowmobiles. During the mid to late 1970's many of the snowmobiling clothing lines got more color variations and different styling. I have a vintage Polaris snowmobiling jacket that I believe is from the mid to late 1970's that has some color and style similar to an Arctic Wear VIP jacket with different shades of blue in layered inlays. I call them the Blue-winged Teal jackets due to the similarities to the markings on those beautiful waterfowl. It is a men's size Large-Long and it is in great condition.



I have the Polaris WINTERWEAR jacket on my eBay auctions currently.
