Letter Jackets

[DannyShapiroBE]

Anyone who played from a few years ago (5, 10, 20, 50 years ago, doesn't matter), still have their letter jackets? How has it held up? Still wear it?

 

WOSGrad - if this is the wrong forum for this question, my bad.

Nope. That's fine.  I'd be interested to see the results.  I can imagine some pretty good tales coming out of this one.

I have a few pieces of  jackets from the early 60's. leather sleeves ok but the cloth part became moth food i guess.

i still have mine, in the closet. It is a keepsake that you can show of to your kids. Also one will get their letter jacket on the hottest day of the year and wear it with pride, because it is one of the things in high-school that is earned.

[DannyShapiroBE]

Thank you to everyone who's responded so far.

I'm writing a story about letter jackets, so anyone who commented and wouldn't mind being quoted in this story and could give me some more information, please send me a PM. Thank you!

Ehhh, when they started giving them for UIL and Ag, they stopped being so prestigious.

I have my PNG jacket from 98. And I have both of my dad’s TJ jackets from 1967. 

[TXHORN_ET]

1970 here. Been in a container a good many years now. Took it out once a year or so ago. It has held up pretty good but I should've ordered a larger size for sure!!
