Dark Green Varsity Jacket, White Sleeves

Dark Green Varsity Jacket, White Sleeves

This is green at its deepest working depth — bottle green, nearly black indoors, unmistakably green the moment daylight hits it. The wool body wears that color with a dense matte face, the off-white sleeves give it a bright outline, and green-and-white striped ribbing closes the collar, cuffs, and waistband. White snaps run the placket with a snap tab at the hem, thin white piping edges the slanted welt pockets, and the back panel is one unbroken field of green.

The shade brings its own passport. Dark green earned its menswear pedigree as British racing green — the color Britain painted its race cars from the earliest grand prix years — which is why a bottle-green jacket reads heritage rather than novelty. Set into an American letterman silhouette with white sleeves, it lands somewhere between paddock and bleacher, and belongs in both.

Specifications

Fit & Sizing

Classic through the chest with set-in sleeves and a straight body — the wool holds a square shoulder line on its own, and the ribbed waistband keeps the hem parked at the beltline.

Model reference: Shown on a 6'1" (185 cm), 170 lb (77 kg) model in size Medium.

Order your usual size; there's room for a knit underneath without upsizing. Take a chest measurement and hold it against the size chart — a dark body only slims you when the shoulders actually fit.

Why This Jacket

• Racing-green pedigree — the shade Britain painted its winners, cut into American sportswear
• The deep end of green — nearly black by lamplight, fully green by day; two jackets in one shade
• White that sharpens — bright sleeves trace the silhouette so the dark body never goes flat
• Piped, not patched — the white welt edges are the only front decoration, and they're enough
• Built like outerwear — a dense wool face over a quilted interior, not a fashion-weight shell

Care Instructions

Here's the wool secret that saves you money: it barely ever needs washing. The fibers carry a natural coating that resists bacteria, so the smells a night out leaves behind — food, smoke, crowded rooms — lift away with air instead of detergent. Hang the jacket outside for an evening or in the bathroom during a hot shower, and it comes back neutral by morning. Save actual cleaning for actual spills, and this green will outlast trends you haven't met yet.
