Custom made jockey silks worn by Marlon St. Julien.

A stripe of white fabric runs horizontally around the body below the sleeves. A gray stripe is sewn around each sleeve above the elbow. The jacket closes at the center front with one (1) piece of white Velcro at the neck and four (4) metal snaps down the body. The snaps are painted on the facing side to match the color of the fabric. The neck has a standard collar made from the pale blue fabric. A panel of the blue fabric is folded over to resemble a bowtie and sewn at the center front neck.
