Help with old Thor Mx jacket

I managed to purchase a virtually unused Thor MX jacket off an older gentleman. It's in very good condition and is what all the new retro-style gear wants to be.

I'm trying to determine what year and model the jacket is. It looks a bit like the Thor Fast Boyz gear from the 90's but I'm not sure. I haven't found any pictures of this exact jacket while searching. My guess is that's from somewhere between '90-92. It has removable sleeves and is made in Finland.

Any old gear experts here who could help? It would be awesome to find some old catalogues or other cool stuff displaying it.

That jacket matches the gear Jeff Emig wore in 1992.

Thanks. This confirmed my guess that it was from around this time. I managed to find a video from the 1992 Enduro World Championship where swedish Husqvarna factory rider Sven Erik Jonsson wears the exact jacket and matching pants. I've looked through the other rounds and he wears the same Thor gear for the whole season as far as I can tell.

5.25 min in to the video:

Yes, 92 it is. In 91 the fast boyz gear had some text "locals only" written on the back.
