I earned 6 letters in HS which I was pretty proud of at the time but I never got a letterman's jacket. No regrets. At my my HS all the jerks wore them. Not everyone who wore them was a jerk, but everyone who was a jerk wore one.

I had one, no idea what happened to it. I never bothered to sew the letters on, either. It was a decent coat, though.

Yeah my parents offered to get me one but I wouldn't have worn it much if at all. Plus, I went to HS in L.A. and a Letterman's jacket can be too heavy most of the year.

I joined the soccer team my first year of high school JUST to get a letterman jacket. Then I learned later down the line that we didn't get jackets, we got damn sweaters.

Needless to say, I didn't return my Sophomore year.

Well tbf, the only time I've seen a girl in a Letterman's jacket, it was her boyfriends.

Heck yeah, me too!

But... okay, its been almost 20 years, but I don't even have any recollection of *anyone* having a letterman jacket. I remember we got the actual letters, but that's as far as my memory goes. >_>

I went to HS in the 80's and IIRC band didn't get sports letters. Is this a new thing?

Oddly, and again IIRC cheerleaders did get sports letters.

Why?
Because you grow up seeing media portray letterman jackets as something associated with jocks and students in band are usually portrayed as the geeks. Then I got to high school and it was largely reversed.

There was kind of an unwritten rule that you didn't buy a jacket unless you had more than 1 letter. Still I think there were people who bought a letterman's jacket for just one letter.
