1970 Plymouth Trouble Shooting National Finalist jacket. A lot of the jackets from the period just had rubber bands sewn in at the bottom of the sleeves. When the rubber bands break or crack that's it. I don't know how to replace them.
1970 NOS RTS jacket came in the original bag. These came lined and just a nylon shell. I have seen 3 different left side patches. This one which is in the ad. A second one that resembles the patch in the 1990's reproductions, Plus an oval patch one.
1972 NOS Wet look lined jacket in the original bag. I am not sure when they first came out. However, they were advertised in the May 1972 Plymouth Traveler Magazine, so it makes it as RTS
Based on my research of the factory backed drag/NASCAR/Trans-Am drivers, I believe the RTS jacket you are showing is from 1970 and one with the patch that was replicated in the 1990’s is from 1971. I’ve never seen the oval style patch.
