here is a derby jacket with label, and the jacket looks
like UPS brown.

someone told me the ups ones both had the gold lining like the one
in the pic, and some had more of a uniform lining, a solid brown,
but it was another style derby made for ups.

Some told me that the original derby made in usa was the best tuff guys
jacket ever made -

i guess this would apply to ups as well

When I started there was a driver who was close to retirement in Manchester, NH. This was 20 years ago so lets say he started sometime in 59' or 60'. He still wore the 1st jacket (so he said) that he was issued and it was similar to a bomber jacket. Snug around the neck, wrists, and waist. The funny thing was is that I remember it being almost a denim material and damn if the color had turned an odd shade of green. No kidding. The brown had faded to a weird shade of brown-olive. I only saw it a few times since he was constantly badgered about wearing it. He always argued that 'Why shouldn't I wear it, you guys issued it to me...'

He had a point..

I still wear the UPS issued raincoat/winter coat they gave out in the 80's drives them nuts. I no longer have the liner that went to it.Some guys have the liner and wear that.The liner drives them even crazier !!!

derbyjackets · 10-31-2009, 04:10 PM

Thanks covemaster, ya the brown derby made for ups had more of a canvas feeling but the interior was soft, knit collar and sleeve....ya the lining made the derby and the ups driver....my dad was a loader in the 1960s in oakland...i remember his brown derbys, then as kids and tuffs, we wore the black ones

the ups guys i see these days, well the new jackets just dont cut it.....

derbyjackets · 11-09-2009, 11:15 AM

hey COVESMASTER can you post a pic of that old school ups raincoat, etc

thanks

derbyjackets · 11-11-2009, 01:39 PM

Chill, you will get as much information as people choose to give or know.
