Columbia Blue and Navy Blue Varsity Jacket

Two blues, one wool body, one set of leather sleeves: the formula American schools settled on seventy years ago. The Columbia Blue and Navy Blue Varsity Jacket keeps its columbia blue melton wool body and navy blue cowhide leather sleeves in the proportions those first letterman jackets used, right down to the striped knit. The navy sleeves darken the whole thing by a shade.

• Columbia blue melton wool body, classic weight
• Navy blue cowhide leather sleeves, set in at the shoulder
• Striped rib-knit collar, cuffs and waistband
• Snap-button placket with period spacing
• Quilted lining through the body
• Two front pockets at the hip
• Made to order in your size

Jackets like this were once expected to last a whole school career and then some. This one follows the same plan with tidier stitching and leather you can break in yourself. Old ideas, done properly.
