Burgundy Varsity Jacket, White Sleeves

Burgundy Varsity Jacket, White Sleeves

Deep burgundy wool through the body, bright white Full Grain Cowhide leather sleeves at the shoulder — a pairing that reads dressier than red-and-white without losing any of the team-color energy. Burgundy-and-white striped ribbing bands the collar, cuffs, and hem, white snaps run the placket with two more on the hem tab, and the welt pockets take a white leather trim that matches the sleeves exactly. The back panel is clean burgundy wool, corner to corner.

There's a reason burgundy shows up on so many campuses instead of straight red. Universities that wanted school pride without the boldness of fire-engine red often chose burgundy instead — deep enough to read as serious, warm enough to still feel like team spirit. Paired with crisp white sleeves, it keeps the letterman formula intact while toning down the volume.

Specifications

Fit & Sizing

The shoulder seams sit right at the shoulder point and the waistband hits the high hip — proportions drafted for this frame specifically, not adjusted from a men's pattern after the fact.

Model reference: Shown on a 5'7" (170 cm), 121 lb (55 kg) model in size Small.

True to size for the classic stance; go one up if you want room for a sweater underneath. Check your bust and shoulder width against the size chart before ordering — white sleeves make a fit that's off by half a size obvious in a way darker ones wouldn't.

Why This Jacket

• Real leather sleeves — full grain cowhide that only gets better with wear
• Drafted for this frame — shoulder and waist proportions built for a woman's silhouette from the start
• A back with room to grow — clean now, ready for a letter or patch whenever you want one

Care Instructions

White sleeves show one thing colored leather never will: the shape of your hands. The cuffs and pocket edges are where you touch this jacket most, so they're the first place hand oils and everyday grime show up as a faint grey cast. Wipe those two zones down with a leather-safe cleanser every couple of weeks rather than waiting for a visible mark, and the rest of the sleeve — touched far less — will stay bright with almost no maintenance at all.
