NFA Jackets

NFA jacket listing from official NFA catalog, 1948

The FFA Supply Service also provided the official NFA jackets. Initially the jackets were identical to the FFA ones except for the color (black corduroy instead of blue) and emblems. This listing is for the official NFA jacket for sale from FFA Supply Service in 1948.

NFA jackets in the 1950s were a distinct design made in a black twill fabric with gold accents on the shoulders and pockets. This image shows three award winners in the distinct-style NFA jackets, circa 1955. At the time before desegregation in 1964, the NFA jackets were again identical to the FFA jackets except for color and emblems.
