Every so often we feature an interesting vintage clothing piece that’s currently up for grabs on eBay. Please inform us if you create or discover an auction we might like by posting a link to the listing on our forum.
Item: vintage 1940s pre-runner Champion Jacket
Brand: Champion
Sold By: brokenheartvintage
What the Seller Says: You’re looking at: An EXTREMELY RARE AUTHENTIC 30s/40s Champion PRE-goal runner tag printed high school jacket from the St. Francis De Sales High School Friars in Utica, New York.
What we Say: We’re not sure if there is such a thing as a pre-runner tag or if Champion even existed in the 30s? Please chime in below if you know. This could be a 1950s tag that was streamlined for usage on a line of casual jackets. Either way a beautiful piece with a real swell color scheme.
Final Price: $73.99
