Burgundy and Cream Varsity Jacket

The difference between a cheap varsity jacket and a good one shows at the seams. On the Burgundy and Cream Varsity Jacket, a burgundy melton wool body is joined to cream cowhide leather sleeves with set-in shoulders, and the rib-knit trims are knitted in the two colors rather than dyed after. Nothing is glued or fused.

• Deep burgundy melton wool body, dense and brushed
• Cream full-grain cowhide leather sleeves, smooth to the touch
• Quilted lining sewn in, not loose
• Snap-button placket down the center front
• Rib-knit collar, cuffs and waistband knitted in burgundy and cream
• Two welt pockets, leather trimmed
• Cut to your measurements, not a standard block

Cream leather is unforgiving of poor cutting, so it only looks right when the panels line up. Expect it to darken a shade with age, which most owners end up preferring.
