The blue jacket's origin dates to 1933 when FFA advisor Gus Linter saw a blue corduroy jacket in the window of a hardware store in Fredericktown, Ohio. He connected with the jacket supplier, Universal Uniform Company, and had his chapter's name stitched on the back of the jackets with gold thread.
Beyond its place in Official Dress, an FFA corduroy jacket is an article of faith, honour and pride. The jacket unifies members in a long-standing tradition and reminds them that they are part of something bigger than themselves.
