    Description

    Precise measurements are in second photo.
    As of this writing in 2022, manufacturer Delong has apparently been in the apparel business for "over 50 years."  In the early 1970's, the United States still had mills producing fabric and finishing garments, and this jacket is from that time--late 1960's or early 1970's.
    Ask any LSU fan or Mardi Gras devotee and they'll tell you the colors are "purple and gold," not "purple and yellow."  The snaps snap and the zipper zips.
    This was apparently the jacket of a band-member, given the musical-notes patch and the "Orchestra" embroidery.  The "91???"  Dunno.
    The tiger/wildcat head is not sewn on--it is yours to apply or not, and arrives at your door safety-pinned to the jacket.  The 'hood' zips up the center and when deployed, spells out "Bryan" across the upper back.  ?Bryan High School?
    We find NO holes in this wool garment.  We will not accept returns on this particular item.
