Women's Varsity Jackets

A varsity jacket womens cut keeps everything that makes the original work and takes the bulk out of it. Wool body, real leather sleeves, ribbed collar, cuffs and hem, snap fasteners up the front.

Varsity and letterman are the same jacket

Letterman is the American word and varsity is what gets used here. Both describe the wool body with leather sleeves. The men’s versions are cut longer and wider through the shoulder, so buy from this page rather than sizing down in a men’s one.

How to wear one without it looking like a costume

Keep everything under it plain. A varsity jacket already has two materials, a colour split and usually a patch, which is enough going on. Straight jeans and a plain top, or over a short dress with boots. It is the same rule as any loud jacket, one thing at a time.

Fit

These are meant to be a little roomy. The shoulder is what matters, and the seam should sit on the corner of your shoulder rather than down your arm. Measure round the fullest part of your bust over a jumper and check the table on the product page.

Made to order, and how long it takes

Ladies varsity jacket, baseball or letterman

A ladies varsity jacket and a womens varsity jacket are the same thing. So is a letterman jacket, which is the older American word. A baseball jacket womens shoppers ask for usually means the same shape without leather sleeves, and a womens baseball jacket is the same again. Some people search for a basketball jacket womens style, which is also this cut.

A women’s varsity coat means a longer version. Ours finish at the hip.
