Wondering what you guys think of the varsity jacket look.

Adorable? Pretentious? Hilarious and ridiculus for anybody who isn't an athlete?

I quite like it. I think it's kitschy in a good way.

Although I am biased. I bought myself a vintage one a few months back that belonged to someone called Tina. If I ever meet anyone new whilst wearing it I let them believe I am actually called Tina.
It's fun.

I have mine from High School and I used it in a look the other day.
Lots of people liked it...But I'd never wear it out except for a costume or something....it's been a very long time since i was in High School.

Well, believe it or not, there are TONS of non-atheletic things you can letter in in High School. I myself lettered in Band and Theatre before I decided to do Cheerleading again. (i had done it before highschool, as well as several years of gymnstiques).
So when I lettered in cheer I just got the sailor-collar added and it looks like a cheer jacket (Hiding the fact that I'm really a nerd very well!).
I haven't worn it for a look yet, but I've been thinking about it.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way letter jackets look on people, they really fail to look bad on anyone :)
And I think it's a fun trend. People searching for old letter jackets or pulling old ones out of storage,
Famous designers coming up with their own version of the letter jacket... :)
