1968: Retail Opportunity



On watching a BBC documentary on the "revolutionary" events of 1968, I was struck by footage of the black panthers, yet not of their zeal or cause, but in wondering who got the contract to kit them out.

Was there a Cohen & Sons; Outfitters to the Revolution: Oakland, Detroit, Chicago & Baltimore?

"First for Leather Sports Jackets, Berets and Sunglasses! Beware imitators!"

Somebody cleaned up in the apparel department.
