KELMSCOTT SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL LEAVERS JACKET
2007Navy blue jacket with white trim. The jacket has long sleeves with elasticated cuffs and hem in a blue and white stripe, two jetted side pockets with white facings, and a zip front from the hem to the top of the collar.
It has two white side panels under the sleeve, and two white stripes in tape from the top of the shoulder to the cuff. On the left breast is the Kelmscott school logo, with [LEAVERS 07] embroidered underneath in white. The text is outlined in yellow.
On the back collar embroidered in white is KS_HS. On the back itself is [MISHA] above the numbers 07 which have all the leavers' names printed within the numbers.
These were optional school uniform jackets for year 12 students, and each year they were designed (within school guidelines) by the student councillors. I remember our year the councillors wanted to make them have a bit of a James Bond theme (because our year of graduation was 2007) by putting 007 and bond logos on them, but we got told that was potential for copyright infringement. Instead they decided do a rip-off of the ACDC styling when they put the KSHS under the back collar. I wore mine at school for the final year. Everyone could choose which nickname they wanted on the back, and the result was some really questionable names.
Mine was Misha as that was just a shortening of my normal name. I hated being called Shell or Shelly (which is usually the default shortening of Michelle) and I remember one girl, Alexa, started calling me Misha. She told me at the time that she thought it was welsh and had something to do with dolphins, which to me sounded appealing. Turns out that wasnt true, but Ive never cared. It sounds nicer than Shell, and some of my old school friends still call me Misha.
