Two-tone without the team reference
The panel split is what makes a varsity jacket a varsity jacket. The problem is that traditional colourways — red and white, blue and cream, black and orange — all read as school or team colours, which is not what most adults want to signal.
Grey and black keeps the split and removes the signal entirely. From a distance the eye registers the shape, not a colour scheme. It is the most useful compromise available if you like the pattern but not the associations.
Construction
Ribbed knit collar, cuffs and hem seal the openings against wind without bulk. The snap front placket lies flat and opens one-handed. Both details are functional in origin rather than decorative, which is why the pattern has changed so little in a century.
Fit, comfort and styling
Regular fit with room for a knit or hoodie underneath at your usual size — the layering room is what the shape was designed for. Rib hem at the waist. Size down one for a closer fit over a tee.
Styling is effectively unrestricted. Jeans and trainers, chinos and boots, dark trousers and a plain knit — grey and black sit alongside anything. It is the varsity jacket that does not decide your outfit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it still look like a varsity jacket?
Yes — the panel split, knit trim and snap front are all intact. Only the team-colour signalling is gone.
What does it go with?
Effectively anything. Grey and black are the two most neutral colours available.
Will a hoodie fit underneath?
Yes at your normal size — layering room is part of the varsity cut.
Can I add lettering or patches?
Ask before ordering and we will confirm what we can apply.
Why snaps rather than a zip?
Snaps lie flat, open one-handed, and are correct for the style.
How do I care for it?
Brush and spot clean rather than machine washing, and dry naturally away from heat.
Do you offer custom sizing?
Yes — XS to 5XL plus Custom to your own measurements.
