Tan Brown and Navy Blue Letterman Jacket

Seventies catalog pages are full of jackets like this. Tan brown melton wool on the body, navy blue cowhide leather on the arms, and a knit collar striped in both: the Tan Brown and Navy Blue Letterman Jacket has the muted, slightly earthy palette that decade actually wore, rather than the loud primaries people remember. It looks lived in from day one.

• Tan brown melton wool body, dry, matte finish
• Navy blue cowhide leather sleeves, full-grain
• Striped rib-knit collar, cuffs and waistband in both shades
• Quilted lining for cold, damp weather
• Snap-button front placket
• Two front pockets, leather trimmed
• Tailored to order, no stock sizes to settle for

Tan brown takes daily scuffing without showing it, so this one gets worn hard and still looks composed. A vintage-feeling letterman jacket, not a collector's piece.
