{"product_id":"hooded-varsity-jacket-mens-blue-patches","title":"Hooded Varsity Jacket Mens, Blue Patches","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHooded Varsity Jacket Mens, Blue Patches\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoyal blue wool loaded the way LA likes it: a gold chenille LA on the left chest, a varsity 88 by the pocket, a basketball player mid-move on the right, a character kicking up a skateboard above the hem, and twin basketballs running down the sleeve to a second LA at the forearm. Gold panels trace the shoulder seams, gold trim edges the welt pockets, and blue-and-gold striped ribbing closes the cuffs and hem under a white snap placket. The back makes the address official — arched block letters over a looping script — and above it all sits the piece that renames the category: an attached hood, lined in quilted navy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat hood is a real design decision, not an accessory. A hooded varsity jacket replaces the classic ribbed stand collar with an attached hood, folding hoodie comfort into the letterman build — and the practical bonus is genuine weather cover that no knit collar can offer. Worn up it reads streetwear; worn down it drapes like a shawl collar over the patches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody \u0026amp; Sleeve Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWool, royal blue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAttached, quilted navy lining\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShoulder Panels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold contrast inserts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePatches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChenille LA, varsity 88, basketball player, sleeve basketballs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack Panel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArched Los Angeles lettering with California script\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClosure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite snap-button placket, snap hem tab\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCuffs \u0026amp; Hem\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRibbed knit, blue with gold stripes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePockets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 welt pockets, gold trim\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClassic, true to size\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\u003eClassic through the body with an easy shoulder — the hood adds presence up top, so the cut keeps the torso clean and straight to balance it, hem parked at the beltline by the ribbed waistband.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shown on a 6'0\" (183 cm), 165 lb (75 kg) model in size \u003cstrong\u003eMedium\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrder your usual size — there's hoodie-layer room built in already. \u003cstrong\u003eCompare your chest and shoulder measurements with the size chart before checkout; a hood adds visual bulk, so the body beneath it has to fit exactly.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Jacket\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe hood rewrites the category\u003c\/strong\u003e — hoodie ease on letterman bones, and real rain cover to boot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLA in chenille\u003c\/strong\u003e — raised-pile block letters give the chest the texture flat prints can't fake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGold on royal\u003c\/strong\u003e — the California colorway, carried from shoulder panels to stripe trims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA patch story on every panel\u003c\/strong\u003e — hoops, an 88, a skater, and the city's name across the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLined where it counts\u003c\/strong\u003e — most hoods are single-layer afterthoughts; this one is quilted through\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo habits keep a jacket like this looking new. First, mind the backpack: straps riding across a chenille patch crush the pile flat in a stripe you'll see forever, so carry bags by hand or set the strap off the letters. Second, remember the hood dries last — its double layer holds moisture long after the body feels dry, so after rain, hang the jacket with the hood flipped open over the hanger's shoulder until the inside is fully dry, never bunched against the back panel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Varsity Forge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54887426588840,"sku":"MWV-1010","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/7386\/8456\/files\/hooded-varsity-jacket-mens-model-front.jpg?v=1784407329","url":"https:\/\/varsityforge.com\/products\/hooded-varsity-jacket-mens-blue-patches","provider":"Varsity Forge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
