Womens Leather Varsity Inspired Bomber Jacket
The Womens Leather Varsity Inspired Bomber Jacket borrows from the varsity without committing to it. It keeps the ribbed collar, cuffs and hem, but uses a front zip instead of snap buttons and a cleaner body with no contrast panels. The result reads as a leather bomber with a varsity influence rather than as a letterman jacket, which makes it far easier to wear every day.
Material: Genuine leather with knitted rib collar, cuffs and hem
Fit: Women's bomber fit, hip length
Closure: Front zip
Color: Single tone leather
Care: Dry wipe, brush the rib trims, condition once a year
Zip Instead of Snaps
Snap buttons are the traditional varsity closure and they are what makes a jacket read as a letterman. Replacing them with a zip is a small change that shifts the whole impression toward outerwear. It is also more practical, since a zip actually closes the jacket against wind where a snap placket leaves gaps.
Rib Trims Doing the Work
With no contrast panels or lettering, the rib trims are the only varsity reference left. They soften the collar and hem, stop the jacket looking severe the way a plain leather biker can, and keep the waist from flaring. That is a lot of work from one detail.
Fit and Everyday Wear
Women's bomber fit ending at the hip. Order your usual size, which allows a knit underneath. Because there is no bold colour or lettering, this goes with far more of a wardrobe than a traditional varsity does, which is the whole reason for the design.
