Purple Varsity Jacket Mens, Gold Sleeves

Purple Varsity Jacket for Men with Gold Sleeves

Purple and gold have owned one corner of American sport for decades: the championship corner. This letterman takes that inheritance seriously — a deep violet body in heavyweight 24-ounce melton wool, sleeves in rich gold top grain cowhide, and not a single piece of hardware breaking the theme. The snaps are gold. The welt pockets are piped in gold. Even the double stripes running through the collar, cuffs, and hem alternate purple and gold like a locker-room banner.

It's a jacket that arrives already looking like a title celebration, which is exactly why it works off the court too. Over a plain white tee the colors do all the talking; over black everything it turns evening-ready. The purple back panel ships completely bare — the boldest canvas in our lineup for a chenille letter, a number, or a full custom crest.

Specifications

Fit & Sizing

The classic letterman stance: firm through the shoulders, relaxed through the chest, with a ribbed waistband that pulls the silhouette in at the hip.

Model reference: Shown on a 6'0" (183 cm), 165 lb (75 kg) model in size Medium.

Take your regular size to match the photos, or size up if hoodies live under your jackets. Run your measurements past the size chart before ordering — the finished chest and sleeve numbers there tell you more than any guess between two sizes ever will.

Why This Jacket

• Basketball-royalty colorway — purple and gold reads as winning before anyone gets close enough to see the details
• Gold top grain cowhide sleeves — genuine pebbled hide in a shade you rarely find done right, warm against the deep violet wool
• 24-ounce melton wool body — dense, structured cloth that holds saturated color and blocks wind the way traditional letterman makers intended
• All-gold hardware discipline — snaps, pocket piping, and knit stripes stay in palette so nothing cheapens the two-color statement
• Bare purple back panel — the highest-contrast base in the store for gold chenille letters, numbers, or a custom crest

Care Instructions

Keep the washing machine out of this relationship — professional dry cleaning only. Gold leather shows dust before it shows scuffs, so a pass with a dry microfiber cloth after wear keeps the shine honest; condition the sleeves a couple of times a year, give the purple wool an occasional once-over with a garment brush, and store it on a broad hanger away from direct sunlight.
