Partners in Crime | Jacqueline and Neil

Introducing Jacqueline and Neil. We first met them at the VHRA Hot Rod races at Pendine Sands which Neil runs and of which Jacqueline is the in-house artist. Neil also runs The East Coast Sidewinder and Kahuna at the VHRA. He also hosts the GOW! Speed Hill Climb and the VHRA Swap Meet. Their 1929 Model A Ford is pictured in the photos.

 

What Dawson Denim item do you own?

Neil: I own a wabash sack coat. It goes with everything, but I like it best doubled up with my ELMC wabash shirt.

Jacqueline: I have a hank dyed wide leg jeans. I fell in love with them when visiting the garage. They are my go-to soft and comfy jeans.
