I purchased this item for my Prophyte who had seen mine during Albany State University's homecoming. The expression of appreciation for the quality on his face spoke volumes. Unbeknownst to him, I was able to discreetly identify his size and promptly mailed one to his home address in the manner that a Neo should showing deference to those upon whose broad shoulder we are perched. He literally thanked me a million times since then expressing that he hadn't had a varsity style jacket since he starred in 3 sports back in high school in the mid '70s. This uplifting gift pumped back life into him during this period of medical setbacks. And it serves as a lasting symbol of the Friendship we've shared for nearly 45 plus years. YES, it's just a coat. But the quality is indicative of our chosen way of life. Long Live the Royal Purple & Old Gold!!!
