Arizona Hatters cowboy duster

http://www.ebay.com/itm/401043362918

This vintage coat was made by Arizona Hatters, 2502 N. 1st Ave, Tucson, AZ in the late ’60s-1970s and was worn on a ranch here in Montana.  It is made from heavy waxed canvas in a distinctive dark orange color.  It has a broad collar, yoked front and back, elasticized cuffs, a drawstring waist and large pockets.
