NFHS Jacket
Can anyone tell me where to get the black jacket with the red NFHS patch on the sleeve of the arm? Also, this button up jackle is very wrinkle prone. How do you keep this jacket from wrinkling before use? Just storing it in my bag, and it wrinkles, and I refuse to carry a full-length carrying bag for my uniforms.

Regardless of the jacket worn, it is always better to store it inside out to keep it clean. I remove it and zip it inside out before handing it to the table staff before starting the game. |
Not sure if this will work for that style jacket (I use the Sahara, college style jacket) but I store my jacket in one of those Space Bags. I fold it and slide it in the bag that seals and then I roll the bag, which makes an air-tight seal. It is amazing how clean and wrinkle-free it keeps my jacket. It "looks" like it will be horribly wrinkled in the bag but comes out nice and fresh. Plus, it keeps it very clean.

I used my old college CCA jacket (Sahara zip up) removed the logo and had the Michigan HS logo placed on it instead. That jacket is impervious to wrinkles! I fold it up and when the next game comes along, I take it out, unzip it and give it one good shake then hang it up and in 5-10 minutes, not a wrinkle to be seen. The added zipper pocket makes for convenient storage of extra whistle and ball needle. If you will be staying in this sport for a few or more years, then make the investment and get this 'very' comfortable jacket.

The snappers tend to look a little more wrinkled IMHO. But, when in Rome..... |
Speaking of jackets, I saw where Cliff Keen is coming out with a new Microfiber Jacket. It says it's wrinkle-resistant and is suppose to be cooler. Page 40 of the January 2007 Referee.

I've always liked the Sahara Jackets. Years ago, I bought my Dad one without the CCA logo. Here in Texas, our recent TASO jackets were made on the blank Sahara jacket.
|
Has anyone tried out the Cliff Keen micro fiber jacket yet ($55)? Is it worth the extra $10 over the Sahara one?

Oh my goodness, I didn't realize there was such a difference in the jackets. I will go home and check mine. I will say this. For any jacket at that price, it should have an inside pocket. If not, don't buy it.

Most have two pockets in front and an inside pocket. |
