During R\u0026amp;D, we thought it complimented our PODIUM jacket so well that we used it for the project as a killer lining. Only you will know, but that’s who matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eWe left our PODIUM jacket un-branded on the outside, no back embroidery, chest logo or anything, and left it up to the wearer. We believe the solid version is plenty, but if so-inclined, reach out to the many talented custom chainstitch artisans out there, or patch your jacket up with the high school chenille letter of your choice etc… The\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.com\/sch\/i.html?_from=R40\u0026amp;_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313\u0026amp;_nkw=chenille+award+letters+vintage\u0026amp;_sacat=0\u0026amp;LH_TitleDesc=0\u0026amp;_odkw=chenille+letters+vintage\u0026amp;_osacat=0\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.com\/sch\/i.html?_from=R40\u0026amp;_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313\u0026amp;_nkw=chenille+award+letters+vintage\u0026amp;_sacat=0\u0026amp;LH_TitleDesc=0\u0026amp;_odkw=chenille+letters+vintage\u0026amp;_osacat=0\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ebay\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a fun source for NOS letterman letters, if you’re looking for your initials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eWhat we spent time on however, is the specific “heather” rib knit. This type of athletic stripe “melange” ribbing can be found on some of the most desirable vintage club jackets out there, mostly pre-1960s specimen. Thinking production of heather ribbing might only be a thing of the past, we sent a few vintage samples to our friends at Toyo Enterprise for reference anyways, crossing fingers. As expected, such athletic knit ribs were not commercially available from manufacturers, but after some challenging R\u0026amp;D, Toyo’s textile experts managed to get our color combinations custom-milled. And they nailed it! This special ribbing is old-school too, 100% soft wool, unlike the polyester\/polyurethane blend of contemporary sport gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eFor the front closure, we opted for mfsc painted metal snaps, a bit more practical for sports than\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/misterfreedom.mom\/products\/headquarters-jacket\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e1940s-style buttons\u003c\/a\u003e.
