A red leather zip-front jacket with classic shirt-style collar and long sleeves. The garment features white embroidered text reading 'Tobi' on the left chest and 'ΔΣΘ MATH' on the right chest, identifying it as Delta Sigma Theta sorority apparel. The jacket has a straight, boxy silhouette typical of 1990s casual outerwear, with set-in sleeves and what appears to be welt pockets at the hip. The leather appears to have a smooth finish with minimal surface texture. The full-length zipper closure and relaxed fit reflect the decade's preference for comfortable, oversized proportions in casual wear. This represents the tradition of Greek letter organization merchandise that became increasingly popular in African American collegiate and alumni communities.
