If I was a military academy cadet π«‘ This is a 1941 military academy formal jacket covered in pins, patches and other decorative recognition from the cadetβs time at Culver Academy. For those that follow along on the shopβs IG, we also have purple satin athletic wrestling shorts with patched on awards, and a hoodie with the traditional Culver patches from that same time period. All came into the shop at the same time, from different sources, totally coincidentally. Likely the cadets that owned these items saw wartime, although weβre still looking through the graduation and draft lists to try to pin down what happened to them upon graduation. For the detail oriented: the Culver iconography is a beaver, the irony of which isnβt lost on me.
