[[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 '[[Engineers Rule the World|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. The abbreviation originates in a marketing campaign by the Division of Engineering Science and appeared on a prominent banner hung outside the [[Bahen Centre for Information Technology|Bahen Centre]]. | [[Leather jackets]] are usually ordered twice during the year, once in the fall semester and once in the winter semester.

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. | ||
