Vintage Trek / Volkswagen Jetta OCLV Carbon Mountain Bike Racing Team Jacket
For sale: An extremely rare, mint condition, Volkswagen Jetta-Trek limited edition letterman (bomber) jacket, size large. This is a wool coat with leather sleeves. The branding is for the OCLV Carbon Trek Mountain Bike Race Team. This is a rare find for any Trek, Jetta, mountain biker or nostalgic cross-promotional marketing collector.
Thanks to YouTube I was able to find a ...copy of the original commercial that ran in 1996 with team racers:

This was the first time an automaker and a leading bicycle manufacturer combined in a joint promotion of this scale. The Jetta included a roof-mounted bike rack, Trek edition emblems and the bike itself. Only a few of these jackets were made available to either Trek or VW dealers and have virtually disappeared, until now.
You can scour the internet, there is nary a trace of this jacket to be found anywhere. You want unique? This jacket is it.
It has never been worn, stored indoors and in a conditioned space. This is a really cool piece of clothing hoping to find its way to an owner that will appreciate it.
For any avid cyclist or car enthusiasts. Would look great hanging in a bike shop or at a Trek dealer too.
Past racing teams from Trek, Specialized, Santa Cruz, Ibis, Yeti, Salsa, Rocky Mountain, Giant, Scott, Cannondale, Pivot, Kona etc will remember this team. Now you can own a piece of it.
