Experience a piece of authentic 1980s sportswear history. This DeLong Sportswear varsity jacket is a premier "archival" find, featuring a heavy-weight maroon wool body and genuine black leather sleeves.
This piece features unique "ghosting" visible stitch marks where the original letterman patches were removed. Rather than a flaw, this adds a raw, storied character that proves its past life as a true student-athlete staple. It’s a perfect blank canvas for your own custom patches or for those who appreciate the "deconstructed" vintage aesthetic.
Pro tip: for buying circular fashion, take your favorite garment and lay it flat to take measurements. This helps you find that perfect fit:
•Waist: 15.5"
•Bust/Chest: 24"
•Length: 26"
•Shoulders: 19"
•Sleeve Length: 34"
•Suggested Modern Size: Men’s L / Oversized Women’s XL
•Vintage Tag Size: 42
DeLong Sportswear is the 80s gold standard in vintage varsity jackets. Features the perfect balance of a heavy wool blend shell body, genuine leather sleeves, and a rayon acetate lining. This jacket features a classic 1980s silhouette with a boxy, relaxed fit through the body and generous, slightly oversized leather sleeves that provide a vintage athletic profile. Good pre-owned vintage condition with beautiful patina on the leather and the "ghost" stitching mentioned above.
