Vintage denim vest by 49R

 

I found this classic vintage denim vest by Belgian jeans company 49R in the WWW.

I think, it was this kind of vest in a lighter shade, that was worn by Catrin Cremer / Catrin Pröpper / Catrin Sommer from the German singer duo CATRIN & HORST on the cover of a vinyl single from 1976:

49R is pronounced Forty Niner, sponsored the soccer team of Belgian city Brügge and may was named after the Forty Niners, the men that were part of the Californian Gold Rush of 1948 / 1849, were the history of the (Levi's) jeans started.
