Two slanted welt pockets sit at an angle instead of the vertical besom cut used on our other styles, and a silver-tone zipper runs the full front closure in place of a snap-button placket. The ribbed knit waistband splits into two sections at center front, meeting the base of the zipper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the only jacket in our current lineup built with a zip front instead of snap buttons, and that changes more than the hardware: a zipper pulls the front closed flush and even, without the slight overlap a snap placket creates, giving this piece a cleaner, more bomber-inspired line than our traditional letterman-cut styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull Grain Cowhide (Black)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSleeve Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull Grain Cowhide (Black)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard, hip-length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClosure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull-front zip, silver-tone zipper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCollar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRibbed knit collar, tonal black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCuffs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRibbed knit, tonal black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePockets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlanted welt pockets, self-tone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid black leather back panel, raglan sleeve construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRaglan sleeve, bomber-inspired silhouette\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard, tailored silhouette\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLining\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuilted interior lining\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFit \u0026amp; Sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe raglan seam and zip front give this jacket a closer, more tailored line through the body than our snap-button styles, sitting at the hip rather than cropped at the waist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shown on a 5'7\" (170 cm), 121 lb (55 kg) model in size \u003cstrong\u003eSmall\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull leather has very little stretch, and the zip front sits closer to the body than a snap placket does, so if you plan on layering underneath, sizing up is worth considering. \u003cstrong\u003eMatch your chest and shoulder measurements to our size chart before ordering.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Jacket\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZip front instead of snaps\u003c\/strong\u003e — the only style in our current lineup with a full zip closure rather than a snap-button placket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll Full Grain Cowhide construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — body and sleeves are genuine leather throughout, not a leather-and-fabric hybrid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRaglan sleeve for easier movement\u003c\/strong\u003e — the diagonal seam gives more shoulder mobility than a set-in cut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlanted welt pockets\u003c\/strong\u003e — an angled cut instead of the vertical besom pockets on our other styles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuilted interior lining\u003c\/strong\u003e — adds warmth and structure without extra bulk under the leather shell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe zipper needs its own upkeep separate from the leather: run a dry lubricant like paraffin or a dedicated zipper wax along the teeth every few months to keep it pulling smoothly, and avoid forcing it if it snags, since yanking a stuck zipper can bend the pull or split the tape. For the leather itself, condition every few months with a leather-specific product and keep it out of prolonged direct sun, which can dry and crack the surface over time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Varsity Forge","offers":[{"title":"XS","offer_id":55009987133608,"sku":"WLV-4000-XS","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"S","offer_id":55949549109416,"sku":"WLV-4000-S","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":55949549142184,"sku":"WLV-4000-M","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":55949549174952,"sku":"WLV-4000-L","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":55949549207720,"sku":"WLV-4000-XL","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2XL","offer_id":55949549240488,"sku":"WLV-4000-2XL","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL","offer_id":55949549273256,"sku":"WLV-4000-3XL","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4XL","offer_id":55949549306024,"sku":"WLV-4000-4XL","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5XL","offer_id":55949549338792,"sku":"WLV-4000-5XL","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6XL","offer_id":55949549371560,"sku":"WLV-4000-6XL","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7XL","offer_id":55949549404328,"sku":"WLV-4000-7XL","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/7386\/8456\/files\/black-leather-varsity-jacket-zip-front_fd632f70-1bf1-4dae-9db9-d9cfa82acd50.jpg?v=1784654161","url":"https:\/\/varsityforge.com\/products\/black-leather-varsity-jacket-ribbed-collar","provider":"Varsity Forge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
