Olive Green and Purple Varsity Jacket

Olive and purple together belong to the early nineties, back when team gear stopped worrying about looking sensible. The Olive Green and Purple Varsity Jacket revives that: an olive green melton wool body, purple genuine cowhide leather sleeves, and striped ribbed knit that would look right on a nineties basketball bench. Loud on paper, wearable in practice.

• Body: olive green melton wool, mid-weight and brushed
• Sleeves: purple cowhide leather, matte and supple
• Trims: striped rib-knit collar, cuffs and waistband
• Closure: snap-button front placket
• Lining: quilted, warm through fall and winter
• Pockets: two side pockets, welt finished
• Sizing: cut and sewn to your own measurements

Purple against olive is one of those pairings that reads better on a person than on a screen, and the nineties cut of the knit trims makes the whole thing feel like something dug out of a closet.
