Authentic vintage 1980 letterman jacket from Shadle Park High School — the Highlanders of Spokane, Washington. Made by Kimmel Athletic Supply Co. of Spokane, the legendary Pacific Northwest varsity jacket maker founded in 1969. Shadle Park’s hunter green and gold colors are unmistakable, and the big chenille “S” confirms it. This is a genuine 45-year-old original — not a reproduction.

Belonged to a Shadle Park student-athlete named “Steve” (original chenille name patch still on the chest). The oversized “S” letter is fully loaded with his original achievement hardware:

• “CAPT” captain’s bar — he was a team captain

• “80” year guard — Class of 1980

• 3 tennis racket pins — varsity tennis

• 3 wrestler medallion pins — varsity wrestling

• Separate “80” on the left chest

A two-sport varsity captain’s jacket with every original pin intact — these are getting very hard to find. Most vintage letterman jackets on the market have been picked clean of their hardware over the decades. This one tells the whole story.

★ PERFECT FOR FILM & TV WARDROBE ★

Authentic period-correct 1980 high school letterman — ideal for any production set in the late 70s or early 80s. The forest-green-and-gold palette is cinematic, the leather has beautiful natural aging you can’t fake, and every detail (snaps, patches, pins, lining, maker’s tag) reads real on camera.
