Back to School Varsity Jackets
Nothing marks the start of a new school year like a fresh letterman on your shoulders. Our back-to-school varsity jackets bring the classic campus look into 2026, with real wool bodies, genuine leather sleeves, and chenille patches you can make your own.
Why Shop Our Varsity Jackets for School
We’ve been making varsity jackets for over a decade, and we build them the way schools used to: melton wool that holds its shape through winter, ribbed knit collars and cuffs that don’t sag, and snap fronts that actually last four years. Every jacket ships with free sizing support, and custom orders include patch placement previews before we cut a single panel.
- Wool body, leather sleeves construction, not synthetic blends
- Custom varsity jackets for school teams, clubs, and graduating classes
- Class of 2026 jacket lettering, names, and year patches
- Sizes for teens through adults, unisex fit
Buying Guide: How to Choose the Right Varsity Jacket Size
Varsity jackets sit roomier than everyday coats by design. Measure your chest at the fullest point over a t-shirt, then add two inches for layering room. If you land between sizes, size up — the boxy silhouette is the point. Sleeves should end at your wrist bone with arms relaxed, and the hem should hit mid-hip.
Varsity Jacket vs Bomber Jacket
Both share the ribbed collar and cuffs, but they’re built differently. A letterman jacket for school uses a heavy wool body with leather sleeves and a snap closure — warmer, structured, and patch-friendly. A bomber is lighter, usually nylon or leather throughout, and zips up. Pick varsity for cold campuses and personalization; pick bomber for mild weather and a slimmer line.
Varsity Jacket Outfit Ideas for School
A varsity jacket for teens works with almost anything already in the closet. Try it over a plain hoodie with straight-leg denim and white sneakers for daily wear. Layer it over an oxford shirt for picture day. Girls often pair theirs with pleated skirts or wide-leg trousers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
Are varsity jackets still in style in 2026?
Yes. Current styling leans toward the oversized, with muted palettes and mixed materials. The silhouette has held up for over a century, which tells you most of what you need to know.
Varsity jacket or letterman jacket, what’s the difference?
Almost nothing. “Letterman” traditionally means a jacket earned through school athletics with a chenille letter. “Varsity” is the general retail term for the same shape.
Will it work in real winter?
Wool melton handles roughly 40°F on its own. Colder than that, add a thermal or hoodie underneath.
How long is delivery?
Standard is 7 to 10 business days. Details on our shipping policy page.
