Now Viewing: letterman_jacketTag type: General Letterman Jacket (A type of "Varsity Jacket") A letterman jacket specifically refers to a jacket awarded to student-athletes who have “lettered” in a sport. The defining feature is the chenille letter sewn onto the chest, representing the school or team. The traditional design features a wool body and leather sleeves, often in contrasting colors. Ribbed cuffs, a striped collar, and snap-button closures. Letterman jackets often include additional patches or embroidery to highlight the wearer’s achievements. For instance, sleeves may feature emblems for championships won, while the back may display the school mascot or team name. (The term “varsity jacket” is broader and encompasses both letterman jackets and other similar styles. While all letterman jackets are varsity jackets, not all varsity jackets carry the chenille letter or are awarded based on athletic achievements.)
