Show Your Club Or High School Jacket

[55 Fargo]

Hey all, decided to take my High School Mechanic Class Jacket out of it's resting place today.

The leather is getting stiff, needs some treatment or something, will not wear as it is getting to be vintage.

Here is a pic of the jacket, circa 1978............

Put some saddle soap on it and wear it, thats what leather is for,,,

Thanx JD, it is a tad small in the shoulders and chest, I am a lucky one because I have not gained all that much weight or mid section growth since that time......Fred

I am very happy to say mine are too big.

After you leave home, when are you supposed to wear them?

You can't wear them out to the pubs, it shows you are underage.:)

Pretty good, since they are 27 years old.

I can understand that Rockwood. I am one of the unlucky ones and did gain in the midsection.

I never did have a jacket or sweater though, just the block letter. Don't remember why I didn't get them. Probably to costly for me and my family back then. I still have it,, plus the JV letter too.

Even package it came in. I am pretty sure they are out of business by now, lol
