What to look for when you buy your jacket or kid's jacket?

(prHWY.com) September 3, 2012 - TeamNCTY, DE -- In the early 50's and 60's, the first NASCAR jackets were made from leather for the sole purpose of protecting the drivers from the wind. The first jackets did not have any sponsor logos. The first sponsor logos started to appear in the 1970's when NASCAR racing became an organized event. Races were named and sponsored by individual companies. When sponsorship started, their logos were limited only to auto-related goods on the jackets.

NASCAR jackets have changed greatly since the 70's but they have maintained the original form and design. Within the last 30 years, the sponsorship of teams has added to the charm of each jacket. Each jacket has become a collectable. Fans look for their favorite sponsor logos, drivers' names, signatures and team colors. Company sponsors today are all household names; easily recognized by almost everyone on the planet. Their logos are typically embroidered on the front, back and sleeves of the individual driver's jacket.

J.H. Design group is a leading manufacturer of officially-licensed NASCAR jackets. Each jacket is made of cotton twill with a satin silk lining. The logos and signatures are embroidered. They are made to look like the real thing. All NASCAR jackets are made in America and come in both kids and adult sizes. The kids' NASCAR jackets weigh approximately 2 lbs while the adult NASCAR jackets weight approximately 3 lbs

Six factors need to be taken into account to make sure the jackets look just like the ones the pros wear: the weight (2 to 3 lbs), the jacket's outer material (cotton twill), the inner lining (silk satin lining), the manufacturer (J.H. Design), the NASCAR driver, sponsor and racing team buttons and embroidered logos match the actual ones worn by the racing team. J.H. Design NASCAR kids' jackets and adult jackets are officially-licensed by NASCAR.

There are many sites that claim to have the authentic J.H. Design officially-licensed NASCAR jackets but sell low-quality unlicensed knockoffs instead. Consumers should always confirm they are actually buying a J.H. Design officially-licensed NASCAR jacket. Authenticity of the jacket can typically be confirmed with ease by using the zoom button on the website to confirm the six points defined above. Caveat emptor "let the buyer beware". Buying an unlicensed jacket or pit crew shirt may violate trademark laws.

They have built their site and reputation around the six points mentioned above. The zoom button on their site allows the viewer to easily compare each jacket in detail to see the embroidered logos of the sponsors and drivers.
