Men’s Varsity Jackets — Handcrafted in Wool & Leather
Our varsity jackets for men bring together the classic letterman silhouette with the quality and craftsmanship that define everything we make at Custom Jackets USA. Each piece is built by hand using premium melton wool for the body and genuine leather for the sleeves — the same combination that has defined the varsity jacket since its origins in American collegiate culture over a century ago.
What Sets Our Varsity Jackets Apart
Most varsity jackets sold online are made from synthetic blends designed to look the part without lasting more than a season or two. Ours are different. We use heavyweight melton wool that holds its shape, resists pilling, and insulates naturally in cooler weather. The sleeves are cut from full-grain cowhide or soft lambskin leather, depending on the style, and reinforced at the shoulder seam where varsity jackets take the most stress. Ribbed knit cuffs, collar, and hem are double-stitched for stretch recovery so they keep their shape after years of wear.
For those who prefer a lighter feel, we also offer satin varsity jackets with a smooth, lustrous finish — ideal for milder seasons or a more streetwear-forward look.
Built to Your Measurements
Every varsity jacket in this collection can be ordered in standard sizing or tailored to your exact measurements through our bespoke fitting process. We ask for six key measurements—chest, shoulders, sleeve length, jacket length, waist, and bicep—and our pattern team adjusts the cut before production. The result is a varsity jacket that sits right on your frame without the boxy fit that off-the-rack options are known for. If you need help getting measured, our size guide walks you through every step.

FAQ’s
What are varsity jackets made of? Traditional varsity jackets feature a melton wool body for warmth and structure, paired with genuine leather sleeves for durability and a classic two-tone look. At Custom Jackets USA, we use heavyweight wool and full-grain cowhide or lambskin, depending on the style. We also offer satin varsity jackets for a lighter, streetwear-inspired alternative.
Can I customize a varsity jacket with my own design? Yes. Our custom varsity jacket service lets you choose every detail—wool colour, leather colour, lining, closure type, and any embroidery or chenille patchwork. This is popular for sports teams, school groups, fraternities, and individuals who want a completely original piece.
How should a varsity jacket fit? A varsity jacket should sit comfortably at the hip with enough room to layer a hoodie or sweater underneath without feeling tight across the chest. The shoulder seam should align with the edge of your shoulder, and the sleeves should reach just past your wrist bone. If you’re between standard sizes, our bespoke option ensures a precise fit based on your exact body measurements.
