FAR ROCKAWAY HIGH SCHOOL 50s Vintage Single-V Sweatshirt
BRAND Unknown.
DESCRIPTION
Insanely cool and quite rare 50s Far Rockaway High School sweatshirt with long single-V collar detail.
Colour is grey marl with a deep patina.
The print is still vivid and the flock from is still visible on a few letters.
The Japanese brand The Real McCoy's made a replica of this sweatshirt some years ago, making this original piece even more unique and collectable!
Far Rockaway High School was a public high school in New York City, at 821 Bay 25th Street in Far Rockaway in the borough of Queens. It operated from 1897 to 2011. Its alumni include three Nobel Prize laureates and convicted fraudster Bernard Madoff.
The school was closed as part of a plan to stop students' average grades from declining. It stopped accepting students in 2008 and closed for good on June 27, 2011.
Its longest-serving principal was Sanford J. Ellsworth, who served for more than 40 years; its last one was Denise J. Hallett.
