    I found this cool old(?) varsity jacket & am wondering if anyone knew about it? (I searched & found a few, but it was mostly Harley Davidson that came up)
    The color is what grabbed my eye and then the Indians on the back (I found a NC high school - West Mecklenburg used to have "Indians" as their mascot until it became politically incorrect) - could this be from there?
    Any idea of it's age?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    The name of the previous owner appears to be embroidered on the front. A woman by that name can be found in North Carolina.

    The number on the side of the arm is generally the year of graduation... in your case, 1982. (EDIT: And the label looks appropriate for that.)
    This is mine from 1980 (and no, I can't get into it anymore!). I earned my varsity letter on the (springboard) diving team. :shame:

    (Another EDIT: I remember being stopped at the mall by an old man asking me what "Fluskies" were. :rolleyes::hilarious:)

    A quick view of WM's website shows their school colors to be burgundy and gray. It's not often that a school would change its colors... even though it changes its name.
    What state was it found in? Items often don't travel far.

    But a color that...strong would be rare even here with our art deco district!

    The name embroidered near the pocket looks like it could be "Dana Toops"?
    Googling produces a male of the right age with that name in Miami, FL. If you dig further, you might find what high school he attended.
