Nicholas Hunziker Does it Again!

I've showcased by friend Nicolas Hunziker's work here before, but Ive never been so excited about a new product as I am about this. With the cooperation from Porsche as well as some old crew members and drivers, Nicolas has reproduced the factory crew jacket from 1969-1971.
I was able to view a prototype last year...very cool!
