Red and White Varsity Jacket, Ribbed Trim

Red and White Varsity Jacket, Ribbed Trim

Red wool forms the body and back panel, with Full Grain Cowhide leather sleeves in white set in at a traditional shoulder seam. A ribbed knit collar, cuffs, and waistband carry a double white stripe against red ribbing, and five white snap buttons close the front placket. Two besom pockets are finished with a thin white piping along the opening.

Where black and white is closer to the original letterman colorway, red and white is the pairing you'll actually see most often on school sidelines today — it's one of the most repeated color combinations across US high school and college athletics, more common in practice than almost any other two-tone build. This jacket leans into that familiarity rather than trying to stand out with an unusual shade, betting on a color pairing that already reads as "team jacket" at a glance.

Specifications

Fit & Sizing

The cropped, boxy shape matches our other wool-and-leather styles, and the set-in sleeve keeps a clean shoulder line rather than the fuller drape of a raglan cut.

Model reference: Shown on a 5'7" (170 cm), 121 lb (55 kg) model in size Small.

The wool body and leather sleeves both have minimal give, so plan for that when layering — size up for a hoodie or heavier top underneath. Confirm against our size chart using your chest and shoulder measurements before ordering.

Why This Jacket

• The most common active team colorway — red and white shows up across more school athletic programs than almost any other pairing.
• Quilted lining underneath the wool — a warmer build than the shell alone suggests, without adding bulk to the silhouette.
• Full Grain Cowhide sleeves in true white — genuine leather, not a coated finish, for a cleaner contrast against the red wool.
• Set-in sleeve for a classic shoulder line — the traditional construction over a raglan cut.
• Cropped length built for high-rise pairing — sits right at the waistband so it layers easily over jeans or trousers.

Care Instructions

This jacket's quilted lining holds up best when it's hung rather than stored folded or stuffed in a bag, since compression over time can flatten the quilting pattern. If the lining ever needs freshening between wears, a fabric-safe freshening spray works better than washing, since the quilted layer takes longer to fully dry than the wool shell. The red wool and white leather still need their own separate care — brush the wool, and wipe down and condition the leather sleeves on their own schedule.
