Indulge in a weakness for American muscle in this orange ’70s Shelby Cobra jacket, a generous sporting silhouette steeped in the warm, saturated color of the decade. Behind the familiar serpent runs a broad racing stripe, bringing the graphic assurance of competition dress to a garment made for the pleasures of belonging.
Behind the Cobra name was Carroll Shelby’s marriage of a lightweight British AC chassis and a Ford V8, first realized in Southern California in 1962, the resulting roadster pairing voluptuous curves with the deep-throated force of the engine beneath them. By the following decade, it had become a fixture of motoring desire, familiar from magazine pages and coveted well beyond the circuit.
This jacket shares in that long infatuation with beautiful machinery, its embroidered emblems worn with the affection once lavished on polished bodywork. Loose at the shoulders and rich in period character, it offers the Ford faithful a handsome way to keep an old attachment close.
