Maroon Leather Varsity Jacket, Zip Front

Maroon Leather Varsity Jacket, Zip Front

Maroon is a brownish dark red, where burgundy leans purple — and on leather, maroon reads warmer, closer to a well-kept oxblood boot than a glass of wine. This jacket wears that depth across every panel of its top grain cowhide, shifting from red toward brown as the light moves, while crisp white stripes on the ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem hold the sharp edges. White piping traces both welt pockets; a silver zipper splits the front.

There's a reason the shade feels collegiate: maroon is one of the oldest school colors in America, worn by campuses long before jackets earned letters. Honeycomb-quilted panels sit tone-on-tone at each shoulder — stitched before the raglan seam is closed, so the hexagons meet the seam symmetrically — giving the silhouette quiet structure without stealing attention from the color that carries the whole piece.

Specifications

Fit & Sizing

Athletic without being tight — structured shoulders courtesy of the quilted panels, comfortable reach through the raglan sleeves, and a striped waistband that finishes the line at the hip.

If the photos show the fit you're after, your everyday jacket size is the right call; go one up for regular layering. Compare the size chart to a jacket whose fit you trust before checking out — finished garment measurements are the one spec that never exaggerates.

Why This Jacket

• Oxblood-adjacent depth — a maroon that moves between red and brown with the light, giving one jacket two moods across a single day
• Original school-color pedigree — maroon predates most varsity traditions, so the jacket looks collegiate without borrowing anyone's actual colors
• Crisp white edging — striped knits and pocket piping frame the dark hide the way chalk lines frame a field
• Seam-matched quilting — hexagonal shoulder panels stitched before assembly, so the pattern meets the raglan seam cleanly on both sides
• Top grain cowhide build — the hide's outer layer, dense enough to deepen and soften for years instead of cracking

Care Instructions

Leather recovers best with rest, so give this jacket a day between wears when you can — the hide releases absorbed moisture and holds its shape longer for it. Keep cleaning simple: a soft cloth for dust, prompt blotting for splashes, air-drying far from any heat source, and a modest coat of conditioner each season, kept off the white knits and piping so they stay bright against the maroon.
