Varsity Jacket Construction Details
Every part of a varsity jacket can be adapted to your brand. These construction choices define its fit, durability, visual character and finishing.

Striped or solid rib trims create the signature varsity look and help the jacket sit comfortably at the neck, wrists and waist.
Snap-Button Front Closure
Traditional press-stud fronts with adjustable placement, finishes and color options to complement your jacket design.
Contrast Sleeves & Shoulder Seams
Choose matching or contrasting fabrics for the sleeves and body with tailored shoulder patterns and reinforced seam construction.

Lining & Internal Construction
Select quilted, satin-style or standard linings and discuss insulation, interlining and seasonal comfort requirements.

Choosing the Right Jacket Materials
Wool-blend bodies create a structured varsity silhouette, while fleece offers a softer everyday fit. Contrast leather-look sleeves give a traditional letterman appearance, and satin-style fabrics create a lighter fashion jacket. Confirm the fabric composition, lining and seasonal use during sampling before bulk production.
