1960s Minnesota Twins Jacket Help Needed!

[both-teams-played-hard]

I am looking for photos of the Twins wearing this style jacket. "Minnesota" sewn on front in 2-color tackle twill. "TWINS**" chain stitched on front. Early 1960s Butwin tags. Jacket is made of heavyweight satin twill with heavyweight wool knit collar, cuffs and tail. There are no uniform numbers written or sewn on jacket. This jacket is superior quality and consistent with other MLB dugout jackets from the era.
Any information about this jacket is appreciated. THANKS!

Hank Aaron Sitting with Harmon Killebrew
Original caption: Braves' Hank Aaron (left), the major leagues all-time home run hitter, and Minnesota Twins' Harmon Killebrow (right), the number five all-time home run hitter, acknowledge the applause of Minnesota fans after they competed in a home run hitting contest prior to the Minnesota-Atlanta exhibition game. Both players ended the contest with three homers each, Aaron has 722 career homers to his credit while Killebrew has 531.

Maybe I'm wrong but it looks like "The Killer" has a jacket with a zipper rather than buttons.

Yeah the jacket is not the same. There's also a strip were the arm sleeve and the shoulder meet. A different material. Also the jacket does look like a zipper jacket. At the top of the jacket (Vneck) it doesnt over lap like it would if it was botton.

Thanks for the research, GREAT PHOTO!

Yankwood,
Yes, there seems to be a zipper/button variation.

Within the past couple of days, a Seller on eBay had a few of these style of jackets. Some were made by Butwin and others were made by Wilson. I think they sold in the $300.00 - $400.00 price range.
