Georgetown was the wealthy hip area in Washington, DC (during my time, punk-y shops like Smash and Commander Salamander, an Urban Outfitters that sold actual vintage clothing, and a Betsey Johnson). Georgetown Leather was originally a hippie boutique, opening in 1968, over time becoming a high end leather goods shop/manufacturer. These Fryes were specially made for GL and the design appears to be unique.
