Back To The Future, Costume - Prototype Hill Valley High School Letterman Jacket

original movie prop

A prototype Hill Valley High School letterman jacket from Robert Zemeckis’ sci-fi film Back to the Future. Students were seen wearing a variation of this jacket throughout the scenes taking place in 1955.

Made by Albion Knitting Mills, this athletic jacket is made primarily of wool with cream coloured leather sleeves and a stretchy knit cotton collar and cuffs. The jacket features seven metal snap buttons and a patch depicting the high school mascot, a bulldog, over the right breast. While several references to the school’s mascot were seen in the film, the production ultimately opted to feature athletic students wearing letterman jackets without the mascot patch.

The jacket shows minor wear due to storage and age with a few loose threads and has no size marked. It remains in very good condition.
