FAQs - Varsity Forge

Brand & Craftsmanship

What is Varsity Forge?


Varsity Forge is a factory-direct varsity jacket brand — we design and produce heritage American-style varsity jackets (full wool, full leather, satin) and sell them directly to you online, with no wholesale markup in between.

What makes Varsity Forge different?

Most brands buy from a wholesaler and mark the price up 2–3x. Varsity Forge controls production directly, which is what makes factory-direct pricing possible without cutting corners on materials or construction.

Who makes Varsity Forge jackets?


We manufacture in our own facility in Sialkot, Pakistan — a region known for leather goods and sportswear craftsmanship. We own the process end to end, so there's no distributor between us and you.

What craftsmanship standards do you follow?


Hand-cut and assembled, ribbed knit trims, reinforced snaps, taped interior seams. Every jacket gets a photo check against your order spec before it ships.

Ordering & Production

What does "made-to-order" mean?


Your jacket is cut and built after you order — not pulled from a shelf. That's how we keep quality high at factory-direct prices.

How long does production take?


5–7 business days for standard jackets, 10-12 business days for personlized jackets.

Can I customize my jacket?


Yes — colorways, patches, and lining options.

Can I change or cancel my order?


Within 12 hours, before cutting starts. After that, it's already in production.

How do I know it's made correctly?


We photo-check every jacket against your order before dispatch and send you that photo.

Materials & Sizing

What materials do you use?


Melton wool (Classic/Full Wool), genuine leather (Full Leather), structured satin (Satin line) — all with ribbed knit trims.

Wool vs. leather — what's the difference?


Wool: warmer, lighter, closer to the classic 1950s letterman look. Leather: heavier, more structured, more weather-resistant, sharper streetwear edge.

How do I find my size?


Use the size chart on each product page (chest/shoulder/sleeve/length) — measure a jacket you already own rather than guessing from your T-shirt size.

What if it doesn't fit?


If it doesn't match our size chart, that's on us — free exchange. If it matches the chart but you want a different size, standard exchange terms apply.

Shipping & Delivery

US shipping time?


It take 5-9 business days of shipping after processing time.

Do you ship internationally?


Yes, worldwide. Duties/taxes are the customer's responsibility unless stated otherwise.

Shipping cost?


Calculated at checkout; we run free-shipping thresholds periodically.

Can I track my order?


Yes — tracking number and dispatch photo emailed the moment it ships.

Returns & Exchanges

Return policy?


No change-of-mind returns (it's made just for you). Defects or spec mismatches get fixed via exchange or repair.

Can I return a made-to-order jacket?


No, since it can't be resold — but sizing/quality issues are exchanged free.

How do exchanges work?


Contact support within 14 days with photos. Sizing/quality issues: free. Just want a different size/color: may carry a rebuild fee.

Damaged or defective on arrival?


Email us within 7 days with photos — replaced or repaired free.
