Those are plentiful on Ebay. The originals have the round Talon zipper and square Ford logo. Good jackets for wearing around. Come in all different colors. Red, Royal Blue, Navy Blue, Black,Gold, Brown etc. Not very valuable as there are so many out there.

The jackets with the flag patch are later versions mustang two king cobra era & not that rare vs the 60s era jackets.

I believe it's Talon, not Taylon, for the zipper manufacturer.

To me, the jackets are just as timeless as the cars. 👍🏻

I have a dark blue and a light blue. I bought the dark blue in the 80's from the ford dealer. The light blue I paid a bit more for on Ebay...

So they throw a mass produced, vintage jacket on this ass and we are all supposed to buy he's Carroll Shelby? Sad.
