Authentic 1983 American high school varsity jacket featuring a classic wool body with cream leather sleeves and original chenille and chainstitched details throughout. The front is personalized with the name “Kevin” in traditional chenille lettering, while the back features bold chainstitched “Lakers” script.
This jacket retains an exceptional collection of original athletic medals and pins, indicating a multi-sport athlete with achievements in track and field and team sports. A large chenille “83” patch denotes the year, anchoring the piece firmly in the early 1980s.
Heavy wool construction, leather sleeves with natural wear, striped rib-knit collar, cuffs, and waistband. Interior shows original quilted lining with period-correct labeling remnants. A true one-of-one piece with untouched character — exactly how these jackets were worn and earned.
