The Engineering Stores, known to students as Stores, located in the basement of the Sanford Fleming Building is Skule™'s very own book and clothing store. Although it carries exclusively first year textbooks, Stores earns the majority of its revenue from textbook sales at the beginning of each semester. Starting in the 2010-2011 Skule™ year, first year students were able to pre-order textbooks from the stores.skule.ca Engineering Stores website.
In addition to selling these books to students, Stores also sells important Skule™ merchandise such as sweatpants, Cannon polos, t-shirts, gym shorts, boxers, hooded sweatshirts, backpacks, patches, and many more items all adorned with symbols of Skule™ pride. Still, the most popular clothing items that Stores sells throughout the year are coveralls and leather jackets.
Leather jackets are usually ordered twice during the year, once in the fall semester and once in the winter semester. Out of tradition, students do not purchase their leather jacket until the beginning of their second year, as many students may change disciplines, or even faculties, after first year. Students generally adorn their jackets with their year and discipline, a common phrase such as 'SKULE', 'SPS', or 'ERTW', and patches of the various organizations which they are involved in. Starting in the 2008-2009 year, 'E4TW' (Engineers For the World) began to appear on leather jackets, as students preferred to focus on the responsibilities engineers have to the world (also, it is a slogan on the Engineering Science banner outside the Bahen Center).
Coveralls are typically purchased by students in March or April of the first year. Coveralls provide an excellent way for Skule™ students to show their Skule™ spirit while giving them an item of clothing to get dirty in during practical activities. Coverall decorations can vary greatly from student to student, from the simple addition of sewn patches to an elaborate circuit layout or other designs cut out of fabric and sewn on.
