[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one wears these jackets now.   It’s not a thing. [/quote]

Yes, the absolutely wear them. Not in the numbers "back in the day" when I was in school. But there are still plenty that do.[/quote]

Where? I’ve been teaching high school for over 20 years in two different states and haven’t seen any.   I’ve never seen any of my own kid’s friends wear them either.  Is this a private school thing? [/quote]

Nope. Northern VA publics. [/quote]

Exactly. Letter jackets haven’t been a thing since the 80s in the public schools. The letter sweaters died out in the 70s. At least in this area. A few still purchase but rarely wear then. [/quote]

The post you're responding to says the opposite. Kids at our NOVA public (in the Fairfax area) def wear letter jackets. [/quote]

And at our NOVA public HS (not far from Fairfax area), the only ones I've ever seen in six years of having a kid there are a handful of football players two years ago.  My DDs coach even joked during their banquet about how maybe all these kids getting letters might bring jackets back, because they're absolutely not a thing at our school.[/quote]
