In the catalogue it’s called the Jerry.
VauDe is a German company.
When the new catalogue arrived hot off the press from Germany, UK distribution company reps nearly choked on their coffee when they saw the Jerry jacket.

An explanation followed.
"Schisse…" Phone went dead.
The UK operation has renamed the jacket. It’s to be known as Scream but check out the catalogue for the original name.
