I noticed the black leather jacket from the 68 Comeback Special has no zipper-why?
It was never manufactured with a zipper. From what has been told to me over the years, a zipper was never placed in this jacket due to time constraints in manufacturing. This was kind of like a last-minute add-on for the special. Bill Belew had to pull a rabbit out of his hat and produce this garment very quickly. In the end, it paid off. The original, as well as ours, is manufactured out of a very expensive top grade leather. As long as it is taken care of, this jacket can last a lifetime.
