Cropped Varsity Jacket, Black Satin

Cropped Varsity Jacket, Black Satin

Black satin runs the full body of this jacket, cropped at the waist instead of the hip-length cut most varsity jackets use. A white-and-black ribbed knit trims the collar, cuffs, and waistband, a full snap-button placket closes the front, and two slant welt pockets sit at the hip. The satin has a visible sheen rather than the matte finish of wool or cotton twill, so the jacket reads dressier than a standard varsity style even with the same letterman details.

What makes a jacket "cropped" in this category isn't just a shorter hem — it's the whole proportion shifting. The waistband trim sits higher, the body is drafted shorter through the torso, and the sleeves stay full length, so the fit reads more fitted through the middle than a traditional longer-body varsity jacket does.

Specifications

Fit & Sizing

Fitted through the shoulder and cropped at the waist, so it sits higher than a standard-length jacket and pairs naturally with higher-rise bottoms.

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

True to size is the right call if you want the waistband to hit right at the natural waist; size up only if you plan to layer a sweater underneath. Compare your shoulder and bust measurements to the size chart before ordering — a cropped length shows more of the waistband fit than a longer jacket would.

Care Instructions

Satin snags more easily than wool or cotton, so keep it away from rough surfaces like velcro closures, textured bag straps, or unfinished wood furniture that can catch and pull a thread. If a snag does happen, don't pull the loose thread — gently push the fabric to ease it back into place instead.
