College Baseball Women Wool Leather Varsity Jacket

College Baseball Women Wool Leather Varsity Jacket

The College Baseball Women Wool Leather Varsity Jacket is the classic American letterman shape, cut on a women's pattern and built the way the original school jackets were built: a wool melton body for warmth and structure, real leather sleeves for wear resistance, and ribbed knit trim at the collar, cuffs and hem. It is a jacket you wear casually rather than formally, and it works as well over a hoodie in autumn as it does over a plain tee in spring.

• Material: Wool blend melton body with real leather sleeves
• Fit: Regular fit, slightly boxy through the body, women's pattern
• Closure: Front snap buttons
• Color: Two-tone body and sleeve contrast
• Care: Spot clean the wool, wipe the leather sleeves with a damp cloth, dry naturally away from heat

What makes a varsity jacket a varsity jacket

Three things: the melton wool body, the leather sleeves, and the ribbed knit collar, cuffs and hem. Take any one away and it becomes something else. The wool gives the jacket its body — melton is milled and pressed so it holds a shape instead of draping. The leather sleeves take the abuse, because sleeves are what rub against desks, bags, car doors and bar tops. The knit trim seals the openings so warm air stays in without needing a heavy lining.

This one keeps all three, in a women's cut. That matters more than it sounds. Most varsity jackets sold as unisex are men's blocks in smaller sizes, so the shoulder sits wide and the sleeve head bunches. A women's-drafted varsity has a narrower shoulder point and a shorter sleeve, which lets the knit cuff finish at the wrist rather than swallowing the hand.

Wool body, leather sleeves, and why both

The wool blend body is thick enough to break wind and hold warmth without a bulky filling. It also takes the snap placket cleanly, which is why varsity jackets use snaps rather than a zip — snaps sit flat on a heavy woven face. The leather sleeves are finished smooth and are the part of the jacket that ages visibly: they will soften at the elbow and pick up a slight sheen along the forearm within a season of regular wear. That is normal and it is most of the appeal.

Because the two materials behave differently, care differently too. The wool wants brushing and spot cleaning. The leather wants a wipe and, once or twice a year, a light conditioner. Never put the whole jacket in a machine.

Fit and how to wear it

The body is cut with a little room so a knit or hoodie fits underneath — that is the point of the shape. If you want it close to the body, size down one; if you plan to layer through winter, take your normal size. The hem sits at the hip and the knit band pulls in slightly, giving the classic slightly cropped look on most heights.

Styling is simple and it is hard to get wrong. Straight or wide jeans, white trainers, a plain tee. It also sits well over a midi skirt if you want the contrast. Because the jacket is already two-tone, keep everything else quiet.

Made to order, XS to 5XL and custom

Every jacket is made after you order, in sizes XS through 5XL, with a Custom option if none of the standard sizes suits your measurements. If you are between sizes or have a longer arm than standard, send your chest, shoulder, sleeve and back-length measurements at checkout and we will cut to them. Made-to-order also means you are not buying something that has been sitting folded in a warehouse for a year.

Free shipping is included, checkout is secure, and pricing is kept honest — you are paying for the materials and the workmanship, not a licence fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the sleeves real leather?

Yes. The sleeves are real leather; the body is a wool blend melton. We do not use faux leather on this jacket.

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

It handles cool and cold-dry weather well. In hard winter you will want a knit underneath — the shape is cut with room for exactly that.

How does it fit compared to a men's varsity jacket?

Narrower at the shoulder and shorter in the sleeve, with a body that still has layering room. It is not a slim jacket, but it is not a men's block either.

Can I get it in a different colour combination?

Often yes. Message us before ordering with the body and sleeve colours you want and we will confirm what is possible.

How do I clean it?

Spot clean the wool and brush it; wipe the leather sleeves with a slightly damp cloth and let them dry naturally. Take it to a leather specialist for a full clean rather than a standard dry cleaner.

How long does a made-to-order jacket take?

Production takes a few working days before dispatch. If you have a date in mind, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether it is achievable.

What if the fit is wrong when it arrives?

Contact us with your measurements. We would rather sort the fit than have you keep a jacket that does not sit right.
