varsity jackets

[fraazierjo]

No one seems to be as interested as I am in these Canadian Jock Jackets - Oh well! Here's the latest I just got on Ebay for $20! Beautifully made and beautifully worn. I'm trying to post it better this time, but Boomer might have to help me out again.
Whatya think?

I've got a couple of varsity jackets. Neither is terribly vintage. I bought one of them on e-bay about three years ago. Oddly enough it turned out to be a '90s, lettered, Michigan State varsity jacket. In three years I've worn it only once...that was the morning after my 'Heels trounced Michigan State's young ass to win the NCAA B-Ball championship.

Yea I too love Varsity jackets but over here in 'Vintage' shops we tend to only get the traditonal the wool+leather sleeved variety and many of them are either not good quality or often smaller sizes. We'd rarely see something as nice as yours! I have a great one by Golden Bear (of San Francisco I think) based on the Thirties style with a collar as opposed to a knit, with a nicely quilted lining, so it only comes out in winter! I must have had it 12-15 years now but I bought it new in London a little shop that specialise in 'Ivy League' style tradtional gear.

Aeroleather in Scotland have sold them fore some while albeit IVe not checked out thier site recently - I did buy a nice one off them but it was little small so part exchanged it for an M442a which is not really, its more an early G1 - another story!!
