Students & Parents/Guardians:
It’s that time of year to order your son’s/daughter’s official FFA jacket as well as their tie or scarf! It can be a very exciting yet sometimes agitating experience the first time around, so here is some very useful information to help get you through it!
Before you order your FFA jacket, we highly advise that you visit:
FFA Jacket Ordering Tips & Measuring Videos and take some time to watch the short 1 min. video
As you click through the steps, each short clip will take you through the process of properly measuring and recording your information needed to properly order. Beside the video on the right-hand side, there is a helpful interactive chart that you can use to put your son’s/daughter’s measurements in which can allow you to better choose whether the student needs to order a standard size jacket ($55) or needs a tailored jacket ($80).
Above the video and chart section on the upper right-hand side of the webpage, you can click on some helpful resource links that will allow you to read and print off jacket order FAQ’s, guidelines for males/females, etc. that are quite handy. After all measurements are taken and FFA jacket guidelines read, it is time to order your FFA jacket!!
To order your FFA jacket you can either order it as a "Guest" or as a "Member."
The following steps will take you through ordering the jacket and tie or scarf through the "Guest" portal. Please remember, FFA jackets are non-refundable and are typically worn for multiple years. Ordering a jacket a little big is usually what most people desire to order so it can be worn longer. However, this is completely up to you.
