Pink and Purple Varsity Jacket

Turn it inside out and the work shows. The Pink and Purple Varsity Jacket has a quilted lining stitched in properly, seam allowances that hold, and set-in sleeves joined where a shoulder actually sits. Outside, a pink melton wool body meets purple cowhide leather sleeves with no puckering at the join. Small things, but they decide how long a jacket lasts.

• Pink melton wool body, tightly woven face
• Purple cowhide leather sleeves, supple full-grain hide
• Quilted lining across body and sleeves
• Ribbed collar, cuffs and waistband in both colors
• Snap-button front placket, evenly spaced
• Two hip pockets, reinforced at the corners
• Cut to your measurements, made to order

The leather will pick up a shine at the elbows and the wool will stay flat. That is how these jackets are supposed to age, and this one is built to do it.
