Purple and Brown Letterman Jacket

Build the fit from the top down and this jacket sets the tone. The Purple and Brown Letterman Jacket puts a deep purple melton wool body over brown leather sleeves, which is color enough that everything else can stay plain: grey sweatpants, black jeans, a white tee, canvas sneakers. Snap it halfway and let the ribbed hem sit at the waistband.

• Body Material: deep purple melton wool, brushed and dense
• Sleeves: brown genuine cowhide leather, supple with wear
• Trims: purple and brown rib-knit collar, cuffs, waistband
• Closure: snap-button front placket
• Lining: quilted, so it works as real outerwear
• Pockets: two side pockets with leather trim
• Fit: made to order, cropped at the hip as intended

Purple is rare enough on the street that it does the talking for a plain outfit. Keep the rest of your palette flat and the jacket carries the whole look.
