General note
David Rumpel was a member of the Jackets Committee at the University of Waterloo in the early 1960s and likely helped select the colour and style of university jackets during that period. In 1962, the Jackets Committee was co-chaired by Paul Koch and Douglas MacIntosh. The Committee strived to create a distinctive tailored jacket for students at the University of Waterloo.[1] It is unclear when the Committee was formed or how long it was in operation.
Physical description
The jacket was measured along the back length and by the shoulder width.
