Letter Jackets

I had mine (LCM '95 and my dad's LCM '71)  I can't help but feel it connected us somehow. I still remember the pride I felt in seeing those old jackets lying up on the pile of rubble out fromt of my parent's house after Hurricane Harvey destroyed their home. I know what we went through to earn those jackets. Everybody on here understands that it meant way more than just a jacket. I'm sure both of them ended up together in a FEMA dump pile somewhere....but I'm not sad I'm headed over to the Butch tonight to watch my Freshman son go and earn his Deweyville Pirate letter jacket.

I have mine. C/O 92

Still fits and when the baby girl got hers as a freshman (Soccer) we took a pic together for the memory book.  

Shared all the Dos and Donts, Written and Unwritten rules of Varsity Sports, etc.  

Never thought I would share those memories, lessons and insights to Varsity Level sports with her.  

She was a gamer and has the hardware to show for it.

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.

Lol.  

I still have mine somewhere...still in mint condition because I haven't worn it since high school. Still fits because I've taken pretty good care of myself.  Don't mean to seem judgemental but I really hope no one is still wearing their letter jackets.  Length of time is irrelevant.  5 months or 5 years...glory days are gone.
