This example, however, arrives in an exceptionally rare red—colloquially known as the \"red bell\" among collectors.\u003cbr\u003eThough produced in England, even within Britain such a colourway remains elusive, a rarity seldom encountered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA counterpart exists in green—the \"green bell\"—equally coveted and equally difficult to locate. Collectors pursue both with genuine devotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYet this piece commands further distinction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhile \"red bell\" status alone secures its rarity, this example presents something still more unusual: a black and red two-tone construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eConventionally, such jackets employ waxed cotton entirely in red. This one, however, features black accents at the neck, shoulders, front placket, pocket flaps, and cuffs—a striking contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI have encountered red bells before, yet never a two-tone variant of this calibre. This is my first encounter with such a piece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe dealer from whom this arrived shares the same experience—this may well represent a custom commission from the period.\u003cbr\u003eIt may be the singular example ever made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn its construction details, it follows the standard Trialmaster specification: the front fastening employs both snap buttons and a zip in dual closure; the front carries four flapped pockets in total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis dates from the 1970s era, post-Sammy Miller tag, and thus features the later parallel-set chest pocket rather than the earlier diagonal variant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNo size marking is legible, though the garment reads approximately 32-34—a compact proportioning. Those of modest frame will find it accommodating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSurface darkening occurs at scattered points, yet abrasion and tears remain negligible. The condition is notably sound.\u003cbr\u003eNo damage impairs wearability; this jacket remains entirely serviceable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe belt—often missing from examples—is present and intact, permitting the silhouette to be drawn and reshaped across two distinct profiles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSuch a piece transcends the realm of simple purchase.
