Vintage Blue Corduroy Work Jacket

A grail for vintage heads, the Future Farmers of America Jacket is essentially the workwear equivalent of an Hermès Birkin. Dating back to 1933, the blue corduroy jackets have only ever been available for purchase by active members of the Future Farmers of America organization. Not only is the distribution controlled, but so is the production. They are still made by the Universal Lettering Company in Van Wert, Ohio and have very specific regulations on the color of the jackets and the golden thread used on the embroidery. Prices can fluctuate depending on the state and the nature of the jacket and its embroidery.
