Navy Wool Varsity Jacket, Gold Sleeves

Navy Wool Varsity Jacket with Gold Leather Sleeves

A faithful cut of the classic American letterman, built from heavyweight 24-ounce navy melton wool with contrast gold top grain cowhide leather sleeves. The silhouette is clean and structured through the shoulder and body — true to the traditional collegiate shape — while the striped rib-knit collar, cuffs, and hem carry bold gold-and-navy banding that ties the whole colorway together. Snap-button front closure in gold-tone hardware, twin welt hand pockets finished with gold leather piping, and a clean, unpatched back for anyone who wants to add their own chenille letter or custom back patch later.

This is a blank-canvas varsity: no pre-applied chenille, no back graphic. That makes it a strong base for personalization and customization, or a standalone statement piece for buyers who want the navy-and-gold letterman look without the costume-y patched-up feel. The colorway itself does the talking — this is the most recognizable varsity palette in American sportswear, and it hasn't left the field since the bleachers were built.

Specifications

Fit & Sizing

This jacket is cut in a classic regular fit — a structured shoulder seam, room through the chest for a hoodie or knit underneath, and a ribbed hem that sits at the hip the way a traditional letterman should.

Model reference: The model is 6'0" (183 cm), 165 lbs (75 kg), and wears a size Medium — fitted through the shoulder with comfortable room to layer.

If you normally wear a Medium, Medium is correct; for a deliberately roomier, layered look, size up one. Always check the size chart before confirming your size — varsity jackets fit differently from standard casual jackets, and the chart lists exact chest, shoulder, and sleeve measurements for every size.

Why This Jacket

• Top grain cowhide leather sleeves, not PU or faux — smooth matte finish that breaks in with wear and develops a soft patina over time
• Heavyweight 24-oz melton wool body — dense, wind-resistant, and structured; the same weight class used in traditional American letterman manufacturing, not the lighter blends common in fast-fashion versions
• Striped rib-knit collar, cuffs, and hem — the gold-on-navy banding is knitted in, not printed, so the stripes hold their color and structure through years of daily wear
• Customization-ready back panel — no pre-applied graphics, so it works as a base for monogramming, chenille letters, or custom back patches
• Gold leather-trimmed welt pockets — matched to the sleeves and hardware, a construction detail typically reserved for higher-tier varsity jackets

Care Instructions

Dry clean only. Do not machine wash — the wool body and leather sleeves require different care, and combined washing will damage both. Store on a wide hanger to preserve shoulder shape. Condition the leather sleeves periodically to prevent drying and cracking.
