Orange and Purple Varsity Jacket

Wind is the problem, not temperature. A dense orange melton wool body cuts it, purple cowhide leather sleeves stop it entirely, and the quilted lining inside the Orange and Purple Varsity Jacket holds whatever heat you generate. Ribbed knit at the wrists and waist closes the gaps where cold usually gets in. That combination handles a wet February better than a padded shell.

• Body: orange melton wool, heavyweight and wind-resistant
• Sleeves: purple genuine cowhide leather, wind-tight
• Lining: quilted from shoulder to hem
• Trims: rib-knit collar, cuffs and waistband, striped
• Closure: snap-button placket over the chest
• Pockets: two deep side pockets
• Sizing: made to order, room for a sweater underneath

Warm enough for standing around outside in January, light enough that you are not carrying a duvet. Wool and leather have done cold weather for a century for good reason.
