is a very rare piece of Casino memorabilia from the Harolds Club Casino. This is a very nice jacket that has never been worn. It is a size Large 44-46. T are no flaws to the jacket. The coloring on the jacket is bright and in perfect condition. The jacket is in new condition, but was produced around the late 60's early 70's. I believe the dealers wore these jackets in the poker room of the Casino. Thanks for looking.
