There were plenty of different shades of Arctic Cat Purple, even in 1971 when it was first introduced. Depending on the graphics on the snowmobiles and the material in the vintage Arctic Wear garments the 1971 and 1972 colors varied greatly from the original Arctic Cat Purple, Pantone PMS-252 (also known as PMS Purple) = DuPont RS151 and throughout the years there was even more variety. In the 1990's you even saw deep purple, not the band Deep Purple (one of my old favorites).
I have a 1970's Arctic Cat Purple women's Glacierider jacket from the two-piece Glacierider snowmobile suit on eBay right now. This one has a Arctic Cat Purple shell with 2" white stripes down the arms bordered with black piping. And there are 4 front pockets outlined with white piping, and a white embroidered "Cat Head". Nice and crisp yet! >>
You can find it in my eBay auctions
