- This jacket was worn by Bill Camacho during his employment as a crew member for The Oprah Winfrey Show. The body of the jacket is made from heavy black synthetic fleece while the full-length sleeves and the standard collar are made from caramel colored leather. The jacket closes at the center front with a black metal zipper and three (3) metal snaps, one at the center front neck and two at the waistband. The cuffs and the waistband are made from ribbed black synthetic fabric. There are two (2) patch pockets with flap closures, one at each front side waist. The flaps close with one (1) metal snap at the center. Two (2) welted pockets, with the welts made from the caramel leather, open vertically at the exterior side of each front waist patch pocket. The name "Camacho" is machine-embroidered in white thread at the proper left front chest. A large design in silver, teal, yellow, purple, and black thread is embroidered at the center back across the shoulders. The design features an oval sign with the text "HARPO / STUDIOS" inside it. The sign is above a building placed catty-corner and with a banner on the building reading "THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW".
- The jacket is fully lined in a black synthetic fabric that is quilted in a grid set on point throughout. There is one (1) welted pocket at the interior proper left waist with the welts made from the caramel leather. White stabilizing material is present where the reverse of the designs on the back and left chest are embroidered.
