I literally can not find any information on the jacket anywhere. I’ve placed on here hoping someone can help me figure out what this jacket with a prototype tag could be. I’m stumped

Prototype =
  1. An original type, form, or instance serving as a basis or standard.
  2. An original, full-scale, and usually working model of a new product or new version of an existing product.
  3. A typical example of a class or category.
If there is no further information to be found the prototype probably was not put into production and scrapped.

Wear it with pride, nice flames though.

actually there are many jackets of the exact same design still made to this day and going as far back as 1972. The design has not changed.


Is it The original prototype for the ride free collection?

Well what you don't have is a rare goldmine so there's that, just use google lens on the picture and see what similar comes up and are going for.

I think we're just not clear as to what info you're asking for. I don't think anyone can confirm or rule out exactly what jacket it is a prototype for. But - what if it is? What if it isn't?
