Letterman Sheep Nappa Leather Sleeves Varsity Jacket
The Letterman Sheep Nappa Leather Sleeves Varsity Jacket is the original varsity formula done properly: a wool blend body for warmth and structure, with sleeves in soft sheep nappa leather. Nappa is the key detail here. It is a finer, more supple leather than standard hide, so the sleeves move easily instead of feeling stiff against the wool, which is the usual complaint with cheaper letterman jackets.
Material: Wool blend body with sheep nappa leather sleeves and knitted rib trims
Fit: Traditional letterman fit, roomy through the body
Closure: Snap button front
Color: Two-tone body and sleeve contrast
Care: Spot clean the wool, dry wipe the leather sleeves, do not machine wash
Why Nappa Sleeves Matter
Sleeves take the most movement on any jacket. Standard cowhide sleeves on a wool body feel rigid and crease harshly at the elbow. Nappa is tanned to stay soft and light, so it bends with your arm and settles into fine creases rather than hard folds. It also drapes closer to the wool at the shoulder seam, which keeps the joint looking clean.
Wool Body and Rib Trims
The body uses a wool blend heavy enough to hold the varsity shape without being scratchy. Collar, cuffs and hem are proper knitted rib, which grips and recovers rather than stretching out. Snap buttons run down a flat front placket in the traditional layout.
Fit and How to Wear It
Letterman jackets are cut roomy. Order your normal size for the classic fit, or one up if you want it oversized. It sits at the hip and works over a hoodie, which is how most people wear it. The wool body also makes it warmer than an all-leather varsity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is nappa leather?
A soft, finely tanned leather. On a varsity jacket it means the sleeves bend easily and crease softly instead of stiffly.

It is a wool blend, chosen so it holds the varsity shape without being scratchy against a t-shirt.
Can I choose different colours?
Ask us before ordering with the combination you want and we will confirm what is available.
How does it fit?
Roomy, as letterman jackets are cut. Order your usual size, or one up for an oversized look.
Can I wash it?
No. Spot clean the wool and dry wipe the leather sleeves. Machine washing will ruin both the wool and the leather.
