David,
The history on the jacket is reportedly that it was owned and worn by someone named Jigs Garcia. He was the father of my sister's-husband's best friend growing up in LA. The only details I have is that Jigs apparently worked on or helped to build Cobras for Shelby... Jigs son John gave the jacket to Rich (my sister's husband) more than 15 years ago and Rich wore it in high school and kept it in his closet. That's all they can tell me about it. There was a family divorce and my sister does not talk with that family any longer.

It would be nice to find someone who can provide secondary authenticity verification on it; just for kix. It sure looks like the real deal to me.
