Aww, thank YOU!

Also, to any non-NPHC people who might be wondering:

There is actually a difference between a line jacket and a coaches jacket. (Coach's?)

A coaches jacket is merely a style of jacket. Anyone can get one.

A line jacket is any jacket that includes your "line" information: linename/nickname, line number, name of line, chapter, crossing season. Sometimes aliases. Line jackets can be coaches jackets, baseball jackets, Charles River style pullovers, or even varsity jackets. I have also seen line sweaters (pullovers and cardigans).

It's the info that makes a line jacket -- otherwise, it's just a sorority/fraternity jacket.

Oh OK, those are different than our baseball jackets.

To me a windbreaker is something thin - whose only purpose is to (duh) break the wind.

Then again in Texas there wouldn't be much use for a lined baseball jacket (we had people who wore them all winter - they were warm).

OK, after this post^^^ I'm confused. Is there a difference between a coaches/coach's jacket and a windbreaker?

In this thread AngelPhiSig talks about our jackets - do they look like this or are they different?

Windbreaker (to me) describes the fabric and not the style of jacket.
