The Jackson Jacket is named after one of my high school mascots. I went to Stonewall Jackson High School in Virginia for 9th and 10th grade and the mascot was General Stonewall Jackson. The high school was located in a rural area, where a Friday night wasn’t a Friday night without football.The original Jackson Jacket is not made in Stonewall colors, but the inspiration from a letterman’s jacket shows through in the snaps, color, and contrasting body and sleeve color work.
