    Scope and content

    A red melton wool jacket from the University of Waterloo Faculty of Arts worn by an undergraduate student in the early 1960s. The jacket is lined with brown paisley polyester satin. The back of the jacket contains white letter patches that spell out, “UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO.” The left sleeve of the jacket includes white letter and number patches that spell out, “ARTS / 65.” Based on these number patches, it is likely the student that owned this jacket graduated from the university in 1965.

      General note

      According to the donor, red jackets were briefly made available to students in the Faculty of Arts between 1960-1962. On March 14, 1963, a vote for the University of Waterloo official winter jacket was held in conjunction with the Student Council elections. As a result of this vote, it was decided that the winter jackets would be grey with gold lettering. However, it appears that jackets were available in other colours such as yellow by 1965.[1]

      Physical description

      The jacket was measured along the back length and by the shoulder width.
