Genuine Leather Varsity Jacket For Men
The Genuine Leather Varsity Jacket For Men is built entirely from hide — body and sleeves both — rather than the traditional wool body with leather sleeves. That single change alters how the jacket wears, how warm it is, and how long it lasts, and it is worth understanding before choosing between the two.

All-leather versus wool-bodied
A wool melton body is warm, cheap to shape and breathable. It is also the part of a traditional varsity jacket that fails first — wool pills, thins at the elbows and loses its structure after several seasons of hard wear.
An all-leather body is more wind-resistant, because hide does not breathe like woven wool. It holds its silhouette more firmly, so the jacket keeps its shape rather than softening into a sack. And it ages instead of degrading: creasing, softening and gaining a slight sheen where it moves.
The trade-off is weight and breathability. An all-leather varsity is heavier and warmer in still air than a wool one.
What stays the same
The ribbed knit collar, cuffs and hem — without those the jacket is not a varsity, it is a leather jacket. They seal the openings so warm air stays in without a heavy lining, and they give the shape its recognisable outline.
The snap placket also stays. Snaps lie flat against leather where a zip creates a ridge, and they open one-handed.
Fit, comfort and styling
Regular fit with room for a knit or hoodie underneath at your usual size. Rib hem at the waist, sleeve at the wrist bone. Size down one for closer over a tee.
Wear it casually and plainly — jeans, trainers, a tee or sweatshirt. Two-tone leather is already the feature.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the body leather too, or just the sleeves?
Both. This is an all-leather varsity jacket, with knit only at the collar, cuffs and hem.
How does that compare to a wool-bodied varsity?
More wind-resistant and firmer in shape, and it ages rather than pilling. It is also heavier and less breathable.
Is it warm?
Warmer than its weight suggests, because leather blocks wind well and the knit seals the openings.
Will a hoodie fit underneath?
Yes at your normal size — layering room is part of the varsity cut.
Can I add lettering?
Ask before ordering and we will confirm what we can apply.
How do I care for it?
Wipe with a soft dry cloth and condition once or twice a year.
Do you offer custom sizing?
Yes — XS to 5XL plus Custom to your own measurements.
