Here I show you what my vintage 2 piece sharkskin wetsuit looks like when worn. The bottom of the wetsuit is a pant style unlike the modern farmer john which goes over your shoulders. The pant goes as high as your waist. The top has a beavertail flap which tucks between your legs and then 2 turning buttons hold the beavertail flap in place to the front of the jacket. The hood is a sharkskin hood as are the gloves. The mask is a vintage style 3 window wrap around mask. The boots are slip on and they don’t have the zippers like modern booties. The fins are vintage U.S. Divers Otarie footed fins. I have a vintage U.S. Diver’s depth gauge on my left wrist. The weight belt is a vintage style with lead weights. I spin around in the video to give you a 360 degree view of the beavertail flap and I unhook the flap and rehook the flap in the video to show you how it attaches to the jacket.
