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.

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).

We had the baseball jackets too. They were quilted inside so they were good, with a turtle neck and sweater/sweatshirt most of the school year. Mine hangs in my coat closet now. A windbreaker would only be worn about 2 weeks out of the year up here, so there was no sense in getting those then.

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

LOL @ your description of Penn State in that thread.

My windbreaker/pull-over is the same material as my coach's jacket. You have to pull this jacket over your head to get it on so it's definitely a different style. Also the windbreaker doesn't have the cotton lining so it is thinner.

My windbreaker/pull-over is also my crossing/line jacket. I haven't worn this one in years but my coach's jacket I wear all the time.

I just want to say that this just helped me in a crucial way. Thanks!

You're welcome!

I apologize for the super old thread bump, but didn't want to start a brand new thread about jackets....

I'm getting a KEY jacket, and I'm looking for a Rosie the Riveter patch to go on the back.

I have google searched high and low and cannot seem to find what I'm looking for. The ones I have been able to find are teeny tiny.

Any suggestions on where I may be able to get a custom patch made? Or a print applique type thing that might work for the same purpose? I'm not really sure what alternatives might work that actually look good...

Thanks!

Will this suffice? Perhaps find an image, take it here and have them tweak and enlargen?

Awesome. Yes, I'll have to see if they can make one for me. Thank you!
