Yes, those lovely leather jackets with that marvelous letter symbolizing you being a part of your school's Varsity team. There's a few things to consider before you purchase yours!

#1 The Price
Letterman jackets are very expensive and can range from $350-$400+ Yeah, I know it's a lot. You have to be prepared to pay in full when you physically receive your jacket unlike your cheer uniform.

#2 Sizing
Maybe sure you size it right. Take a few things into consideration like your growth. Do you believe that you're going to grow another inch or two. If you're like me then you have a small structure but long and lanky arms. I myself purchased a small with added inches which is always the way to good when in doubt instead of buying a baggy jacket that fits the sleeves.

#3 Patches
Some people believe that you don't need a jacket until you have patches. This is true but a letter is a patch in it's own right and you don't need 100+ patches on your jacket. They're nice to have but if you don't receive any just remember that your varsity patch is what's important.

These are just a few very simple things to consider when getting your letterman. Letterman jackets are great and are very memorable and nice to have as you get older but remember just because it's your first year on Varsity doesn't mean you have to get one. You can always save it for your senior year and it'll be just as special.

Love,
A Cheerleader
