The first FFA jacket was created by a store in Fredericktown, Ohio and was modified by the local Fredericktown high school FFA chapter and worn to the National Convention in 1933. It was liked so much that it was made the official dress of the FFA. The jacket store no longer exists, but the building is still there and can be seen right on main street. The original high school was demolished a few years ago where the FFA chapter originally resided.
The official FFA jacket originated in Fredericktown, Ohio. It was designed in 1933 by Gus L. H. McCulloch, who was the Ohio FFA Association's advisor at the time. The jacket has since become a symbol of the National FFA Organization and is worn by members across the United States.
