Orange and Brown Varsity Jacket

Mid-century team jackets used warm, muddy colors that photographed well on black-and-white film. The Orange and Brown Varsity Jacket sits squarely in that tradition: an orange melton wool body, brown genuine cowhide leather sleeves, snap front, striped knit trims. The proportions follow the old letterman pattern rather than a modern slim cut.

• Body: orange melton wool, heavyweight with a dense face
• Sleeves: brown genuine cowhide leather, full-grain
• Shoulders: set-in sleeves, period proportions
• Closure: snap-button front placket
• Trims: orange and brown striped rib-knit collar, cuffs and hem
• Lining: quilted interior
• Sizing: cut and sewn to your measurements

Burnt orange over brown is a genuinely old combination and it has aged better than the neon experiments that followed. Wear it with raw denim and it could pass for something inherited.
