White and Sky Blue Varsity Jacket

Look at a 1950s yearbook and the jackets all share one build: wool body, leather sleeves, knit at every opening. The White and Sky Blue Varsity Jacket is that build in a lighter palette, a white melton wool body with sky blue cowhide leather sleeves, set in at the shoulder and snapped closed up the front.

• White melton wool body, heavyweight and flat
• Sky blue cowhide leather sleeves with a full-grain finish
• Set-in sleeve construction, as originally cut
• Snap-button placket, evenly spaced
• Quilted lining inside the wool body
• Two welt-finished side pockets
• Made to order, to your own measurements

Pale letterman jackets were common then and are unusual now, which makes this one feel more period-correct than the dark versions everybody wears today. Nothing about the pattern has been redesigned to suit modern taste.
