New Varsity Letterman Wool Jacket with Real Leather Sleeves
The New Varsity Letterman Wool Jacket with Real Leather Sleeves is the college jacket in its most recognisable form. Wool blend body, real leather sleeves, striped rib at the collar, cuffs and hem, and a snap front. Nothing has been modernised or slimmed down, because the appeal of a letterman is that it looks like the ones people actually wore. The only thing updated here is the quality of the materials.
Material: Wool blend body with real leather sleeves and striped knit rib
Fit: Traditional college fit, roomy
Closure: Snap button front
Color: Contrast body and sleeve with striped rib trims
Care: Spot clean the wool, dry wipe the sleeves, air dry, do not machine wash
The Traditional College Pattern
Letterman jackets were built to be handed out and worn hard, which is why the pattern is generous through the chest and armhole. That room is not a fitting error, it is the design. It allows a hoodie or sweatshirt underneath and lets the jacket move without straining the sleeve seams where wool meets leather.
Striped Rib Detail
The striped rib at the collar, cuffs and hem is what separates a letterman from a plain varsity. It is knitted in rather than applied as tape, so the stripe runs through the full thickness of the trim and will not peel or fade at the edges. The rib holds its stretch and recovers after wear.
Fit and Wearing It
Order your usual size for the traditional roomy fit, or one up if you want it clearly oversized. It sits at the hip and works over a hoodie, which is how most people wear it. The wool body makes it warm enough for autumn and mild winter days on its own.
