OK, far be it from me to say that I obsess but...
I have been looking around for the Varsity style red and tan leather that JT wore at the UM game last year with zero luck. I am guessing that it was a one off item made just for Tress. Here is the pic..
I am seriously thinking that I might buy the jacket and then have someone sew on the Ohio State letters for me.
My thought is this. Would anyone else be interested? We might be able to get a price reduction on the coats and the lettering. Then have them all sent to a shop that puts on the lettering, then get them to ship them out OR pick them up in C-bus (if that's where we get them lettered).
We would need to:
A wild assed guess would be 3-400$ all in including 100% wool body, leather sleaves, leather trimmed, lined, lettering and shipping costs. But again, I am not going to cut costs here. I want something sweet that will last and look great for a long long time.
Here is an example of a jacket I found...

Custom Letter Jacket Raglan Sleaves
NOTE, this does not include the lettering or shipping costs. But, we should be able to get dead nuts on the same jacket in leather, sleaves and all. Obviously we would need to call these people and find out if they are heavy weight etc. But they look like good starting point.

We would need to:
- Indentify the jacket we wanted to buy.
- Find the correct lettering
- Figure out if we want anything on the back
- Find the sew shop that would letter them
- Figure out an easy way to have everyone pay BEFORE and protect me from getting screwed.
