Donkey jacket
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
A Donkey jacket is a short, buttoned outer coat, typically made of black woollen material, unlined; sometimes with a plastic panel covering the shoulder-blades area. This panel might be plain black, or fluorescent orange or yellow for conspicuity, and sometimes bears the name of the company which supplies the jacket or for which the wearer works. The jacket usually has two hip pockets and sometimes an inside "poacher's" pocket. The donkey jacket is regarded as typical of the British manual worker. Also favoured by the Skinhead.
