(The following information was sent in by Ton Kool, from Amsterdam)

The exact replica of the racing jacket Steve McQueen wore in Le Mans (shown below) was made by the German firm DAKOTA. Only 500 were made and sold.

Ton writes, "The Dakota company then got sued by the Firestone tire company, who had not been asked permission to use their Firestone-logo on the jackets. So Firestone denied them their permission, demanding that all the jackets should be taken back or destroyed (!). Of course, the main part of those jackets had already been sold (at a European price of ± € 249,-), so that was nearly impossible. Anyway, permission was denied to Dakota."

The revised version (shown below) is also an exact replica with the exception of the Firestone logo, which has been replaced with the Dakota logo.
