Forest Green Varsity Jacket
The Forest Green Varsity Jacket uses a colour that almost nobody chooses for a letterman jacket, which is exactly the argument for it. Every third varsity jacket is red or navy; a deep forest green stands out precisely by not shouting.

Why forest green works
Deep greens behave almost like neutrals. They sit comfortably with black, white, cream, grey, tan and denim, and unlike red or orange they never dictate the rest of an outfit. Forest green specifically is dark enough to read as a considered colour rather than a bright one.
It is also flattering in a way bright varsity colours are not. Dark tones recede, so a green varsity jacket does not add the visual bulk that a bright red one does.
The varsity construction
Ribbed knit collar, cuffs and hem, plus a snap front placket. Both are functional in origin — knit seals the openings against wind without adding bulk, and snaps lie flat against the placket and open one-handed.
The two-tone panel split is what makes the shape read as varsity rather than as a plain bomber, and on a muted colourway it reads as a design line rather than as team colours.
Fit, comfort and styling
Regular fit with room for a knit or hoodie underneath at your usual size — that layering room is the point of the shape. Rib hem at the waist. Size down one for closer over a tee.
Green pairs particularly well with tan, cream and denim. Avoid pairing it with olive or khaki clothing, since near-matching greens rarely look intentional.
