What Are Varsity Jackets?

Varsity jackets—often called letterman jackets—are iconic outerwear pieces rooted in American sports and school culture. Traditionally designed with a warm wool body and durable leather sleeves, these jackets feature bold chenille letters or patches that represent a school, sport, or achievement. First popularized in the early 1900s, varsity jackets were originally worn by athletes to showcase their accomplishments. Today, they’ve evolved into a global fashion staple worn by students, teams, and style enthusiasts alike.
