Varsity Letter
- Thread starter RareBreed
- Start date
My HS letter jacket in '71, Navy flag football championship jackets (2) in '72 and '73, hung around until I really didn't fit into them anymore, than my kid sister took control and wore them around her school through the mid 80's. She thought it was cool.

They call me ... Sarcasmo
I graduated HS in 2005 and at my school, NO ONE wore lettermans - I always figured that was a thing of the 80s and 90s, based on movies I'd seenAlso, my school colors were white and purple
No one at my school put much stock into purple athletic gear. However I've seen many kids around here sport them. Kinda made me jealous I didn't attend a HS with more school pride. I did buy a school class ring, and while my ring is still classic and pretty, I never wear it. It's sat in my jewelry box for almost 10 yrs. Not sure why I even got one since I never liked my school much anyways.
RB, hope your son gets his letter!
Ryken is crazy with school pride. We went to the homecoming game last week, and we saw several LM jkackets from BAAAAck in the day there in the alumni section. I still have my LM jacket from a couple years ago.

They were big at my school in the 90's. I actually bought my letter and chevrons at the sporting goods store so they all matched and kept the letters the school gave me.
That said I hated that jacket with a passion, it was hot once you were inside, it wasn't all that warm standing outside in the winter, but it did look good red wool with white leather and a big indian on the back.

CCE doesn't do it but they recommend Stitch N Time in Calloway so we'll go there.

Hopefully I can get it done in time for Christmas. If not, hopefully his birthday in mid-January.

She's very quick. Two separate years, I needed bridesmaid dresses heavily altered right in the middle of prom season. She got both of them back to me in less than 2 weeks both times.

I think Marching band gives out letters.
Smoking cigarettes in the bathroom and fighting do not.

Do you have to call her first or can you just show up? Left message yesterday morning but no call back.

I've always called her and leave a message. First time around she usually takes a couple days to get back to me.

Ok. I'm going to call around to places closer to me and see if I can find a place. I live in Southern Calvert.

They did when I was in high school as that is how I got mine but that was many moons ago.

First place I called does stuff like that. Spot Off dry cleaners near the Weis store in Lusby. Said it will take about a week which works out perfectly because I wanted to give it to him for Christmas. Funny thing is that when his friends found out he was getting one, they wanted one too. I guess it's more popular than thought before or kids thought only football players wore them.

When I lived in Lusby, I've also used the dry cleaners next to the Food Lion (is it a Weiss now?) and Moe's Southwest Grill and Dunkin'. She hemmed several pairs of paints and jeans for me. I'm 5'0"
I visit the tailor often! I'm sure she could handle a varsity letter and jacket.

That's where I called. Said the seamstress is in their PF location so I just drop it off there instead. Hopefully she is better than the people who do the dry cleaning there. Reviews for that place are horrible (one star) but it was only the dry cleaning part of it .
