Red Cape Bib Fortuna Stitching question

[Oto]

I wonder if I could ask for some help please.

What colour should the stitching be on an authentic red cape Bib Fortuna?

For some reason I can't find this info anywhere.

Many Thanks for your help

Red cape prototype or Ledy burgandy cape?

James is right. The red cape bin fortuna was never "produced" as such. It was merely a prototype used for photographic purposes for advertisements in catalogues and posters etc.

From what I understand the stitch doesn't take up dye and is bleach resistant. So a fake would have brown stitching. The info I can't find is the colour stitch used for the burgandy Lili. Every post I have read on the internet talks about white stitch but in reference to the white cape Bib Prototype. I'm assuming the stitch used for the burgandy would be the same burgandy as the cape but can't verify it. I found a bib with a burgandy cape with (I'm told) red stitching, wanted to check if this exists.
