1950s–60s Red Varsity Jacket with Leather Sleeves

A classic mid-century varsity jacket dating to the 1950s–1960s, featuring a red wool body with contrasting cream leather sleeves.

 

The jacket is finished with traditional varsity details including a chenille letter patch, chain-stitched initial, snap front closure, and ribbed cuffs and hem. The proportions and materials reflect authentic athletic jackets of the period, worn for school and collegiate sport rather than later fashion reproductions.

 

A timeless piece of American sportswear with strong character and enduring appeal.
