Vintage 1990 Pepsi-Cola Pilot Jacket – 19th Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta

Rare vintage jacket from the 19th Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, 1990, featuring original Pepsi-Cola and ballooning graphics.

The front features a PILOT patch, vintage Pepsi logo patch, and embroidered 19th Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta 1990 patch. The back features a large PEPSI-COLA / Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta 1990 graphic, with SPONSOR lettering running down the sleeve.

Jacket is labeled Bush-Keller Co. Sporting Goods. Light blue body with darker blue collar, cuffs and waistband, front zipper closure and side pockets.

Condition: Pre-owned vintage condition with noticeable signs of age and regular wear. The fabric shows general fading/discoloration, wrinkles, minor surface wear and age-related wear throughout. There is also visible wear around some seams, edges, zipper and other areas consistent with a jacket that was actually worn. I do not see any major stains or large holes. Please carefully review all photos for the exact condition, as they form an important part of the description.

This jacket was acquired from the contents of an estate belonging to a Lithuanian aviation and ballooning enthusiast. The collection contained multiple vintage aviation and hot-air-balloon related items. No documentation identifying the original wearer accompanies the jacket, so no specific ownership or pilot attribution is claimed.

Measurements: Please see measurements below / listing photos for exact fit. Vintage sizing can differ significantly from modern sizing.

A distinctive piece of 1990 Pepsi-Cola, Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta and hot-air-ballooning memorabilia, particularly interesting due to the PILOT and SPONSOR markings.
