This vintage 1980s varsity jacket is a premium, localized time capsule built by Philadelphia's own Alvin Mfg. Co. Crafted for Northeast Catholic High School for Boys, it highlights the legendary "Falcons" football program with an extensive, multi-layered back patch layout and dual-sleeve numbers. Because the school closed its doors permanently in 2010, original pieces of this caliber are finite artifacts highly coveted by streetwear stylists and dedicated alumni.
* Chest Width (Pit-to-Pit): 25.0 inches * Vertical Length (Collar Seam to Bottom Hem): 25.5 inches
Custom-tailored by the iconic regional sports contractor Alvin Mfg. Co. (Phila., PA), this jacket belonged to a North Catholic Falcon during the 1980/1982 seasons. It perfectly mirrors the historic all-male academy's athletic identity through its bold cardinal red colorway and prominent falcon silhouette. A rare chance to own a piece of true East Coast sportswear heritage that is no longer in production.
Excellent vintage condition with minimal surface pilling on the heavyweight wool shell. All original metal snap hardware is fully operational with crisp, unchipped paint other than the bottom button which has a small chip. White wool shoulder panels and pocket trim show light, natural age-toning but are clean with zero dry-rotting. Interior satin lining is pristine with no tears, runs, or underarm discoloration.
