Inspired by the early 1930s varsity jackets worn by Ivy League students and car club members, the "Varsity" Wool Jacket has been reimagined with an elegant Italian touch. This authentic piece is crafted from 24 oz Melton wool and features vegetable-tanned lambskin leather sleeves sourced from Tuscany, Italy.

Originally, varsity jackets were symbols of pride worn by college students, athletes, and car enthusiasts. This version stays true to that heritage, using premium Melton wool from Tuscany, made of 90% wool and 10% cashmere, for a refined and durable feel.

The jacket's sleeves are constructed from vegetable-tanned lambskin, a rare and exceptional material that ages beautifully. Over time, the leather develops unique characteristics, with the natural tannins imparting warmer tones that deepen with use, adding a personal touch to the garment.

The interior is lined with diamond-stitched viscose in a striking red color, ensuring both style and comfort. Every detail of the "Varsity" jacket has been carefully considered, resulting in a rare, handcrafted garment that embodies authentic Italian craftsmanship.

Designed with bikers, rockers, and gentlemen in mind, this jacket is a testament to timeless style. Any variations in color, texture, or grain are not defects but rather marks of its artisanal quality.

Each jacket is a one-of-a-kind piece, exclusively tailored for its wearer. Handcrafted with pride in Italy, it comes in a high-quality organic cotton bag, laced with Havana rope and featuring a screen-printed logo.
