Mens Blue Varsity Jacket
The Mens Blue Varsity Jacket is a classic two-tone varsity format with a blue wool-blend body and genuine leather sleeves. Blue is the most traditional varsity colorway — royal blue body with white or cream leather sleeves is the combination most closely associated with the original college letterman jacket tradition. Available made-to-order at Leather Outlet, each jacket is assembled from genuine leather sleeves and wool-blend body after your order is placed.

Blue as the Original Varsity Color
Blue and white is the most historically consistent varsity colorway — it matches the color systems of most school and collegiate sports programs where the varsity jacket format originated. Royal blue gives the jacket strong visual presence without the brightness of red or yellow combinations. The contrast between the blue wool body and lighter leather sleeves reads clearly from a distance, which is partly why this combination became the most recognisable version of the format. See the full range in the Men's Varsity Jackets collection for other color combinations.
Wool Body, Genuine Leather Sleeves
The two-material construction is the defining feature of the varsity jacket format. The wool-blend body provides warmth and holds its shape well across multiple seasons. The genuine leather sleeves are more abrasion-resistant than wool — they don't pill, and they develop a richer surface character over time. The rib-knit collar, cuffs, and hem keep the fit sealed at entry points. For all-leather jacket alternatives, explore the Men Leather Jackets collection.
Styling a Blue Varsity Jacket
Blue varsity jackets work well with navy, black, white, and grey underneath — the blue body is strong enough to anchor the outfit without needing additional color. Keep the base layer simple: a plain crewneck, clean Oxford shirt, or solid T-shirt. Dark jeans and white sneakers or clean boots complete the look. Worn open, it layers well over a hoodie in cooler weather. For women's varsity options in comparable colorways, see the Women Leather Jackets collection.
