Coral and Grey Varsity Jacket

Materials first: melton wool for the coral body because it is dense, brushed and holds a shape, and full-grain cowhide for the grey sleeves because it creases rather than cracks. The Coral and Grey Varsity Jacket is assembled the slow way, with set-in sleeves and trims that come off a knitting machine. The trims are knitted in the two jacket colors.

• Body Material: coral melton wool, tight weave
• Sleeves: grey genuine cowhide leather, full-grain
• Construction: set-in sleeves, reinforced seams
• Trims: knitted rib collar, cuffs and waistband
• Closure: snap-button front placket
• Lining: quilted through the body
• Sizing: made to order, cut for you

Coral fades slowly and grey leather darkens where you handle it, so the two halves age at different speeds. Give it a year and the jacket looks lived in rather than tired. Good materials are the whole argument here.
