Coyote and the Road Runner for Warner Bros. in 1949, and the bird's taunting Beep Beep became shorthand for speed on every American highway. Customised jackets like this one came from neighbourhood embroidery shops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jacket is a zip-front work style in rough, slubby indigo denim, faded to a beautiful even blue. The back carries a large embroidered Road Runner in blue, red and gold with motion loops beneath his feet. On the front, Doug is chainstitched in gold over the chest, joined by a Pabst Blue Ribbon patch, a green alligator patch and a cream pin-up figure, with a Minnesota state patch and a yellow three-stripe Viet Nam flag patch on the shoulders. It was found in a Los Angeles vintage shop in the 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1970s to 80s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cotton denim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Faded indigo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front zip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecoration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Embroidered Road Runner and Beep Beep, chainstitch name, sewn patches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTag size:\u003c\/strong\u003e US L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e chest flat 50 cm (19.7 in), shoulder 44 cm (17.3 in), sleeve 63 cm (24.8 in).
