Where it comes from. Documented in Larry Townsend’s The Leatherman’s Handbook II (1983) and the Bob Damron charts (1980). Worn in San Francisco leather bars from 1972.
Documented from 1980 in the extended bar charts, peach in the left pocket told the room you were kisser; in the right, kissed. Recorded in the Damron charts of 1980 and Townsend’s Leatherman’s Handbook II in 1983. This colour belongs to the community that made it; the print is our specification of it.
