letterman jackets
Athletic letter coats
Letterman jackets are wool jackets with leather sleeves, traditionally awarded to high school or college athletes who have earned a varsity letter in their sport.
The letter—usually the school's initial—is sewn prominently on the chest.
The jackets became symbols of athletic achievement and American teenage culture, often appearing in films about high school life: He draped his letterman jacket over her shoulders.
