Basic Black Hoodie Varsity Jacket
The Basic Black Hoodie Varsity Jacket is the plainest version in the range, and that is its entire purpose. No contrast panels, no bright colours, no lettering — just the varsity outline with a hood, in black. It is the one you buy to wear constantly rather than to make a point.

The case for plain
Two-tone varsity jackets have a fixed number of outfits they work with. Bright ones have fewer still. A plain black hooded varsity has essentially none of that constraint — it works with whatever you were going to wear anyway.
That sounds unambitious and it is the reason plain jackets get worn ten times more often than statement ones. If you are buying one varsity jacket rather than three, this is the sensible choice.
What the hood does
It covers the head and the back of the neck, which a knit varsity collar cannot, and it means you do not have to carry a hat. It also moves the jacket firmly into streetwear rather than collegiate territory.
One constraint worth knowing: do not layer a hooded sweatshirt underneath. Two hoods bunch at the neck and neither sits right. A crew neck, tee or plain knit is the correct layer.
Fit, comfort and styling
Regular fit with room for a knit at your usual size. Ribbed cuffs and hem, snap front placket, hem at the waist. Size down one for a closer fit over a tee.
Because it is plain and black, there is nothing to style around — jeans, joggers, chinos, dark trousers all work. That is the point.

Not comfortably — two hoods bunch at the neck. Wear a crew neck or tee.

Yes. A knit varsity collar does nothing above the throat.
Can I add lettering or patches later?
Ask before ordering and we will confirm what we can apply.
