{"product_id":"oxford-gray-mens-wool-varsity-jacket","title":"Oxford Gray Men’s Wool Varsity Jacket","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCREAM SHEEPSKIN CONTRAST MEETS RED-STRIPED COLLEGIATE DESIGN\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis men’s wool varsity jacket combines a light Oxford-gray Melton body with genuine cream sheepskin sleeves, creating a softer alternative to dark traditional letterman colorways. Black rib-knit borders carrying red and white stripes give the neutral exterior its unmistakable athletic identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe design retains the defining elements of American collegiate outerwear: a snap-button front, low knitted collar, contrasting sleeves, angled welt pockets and an elasticized waistband. Its unmarked front and back keep the finish grown-up and versatile rather than making it look like a replica school jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis light-gray edition adds a brighter option to our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/darkravenhide.com\/collections\/mens-varsity-jackets\"\u003egray-and-cream collegiate range\u003c\/a\u003e while remaining visually distinct from the Sage, Olive, Granite, Brown and Black jackets already in the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVisual accuracy note:\u003c\/strong\u003e The red detail appears within the knitted collar, cuffs and waistband. The only diamond pattern shown is the black quilting inside the jacket. No Batman-style emblem, exterior diamond artwork, chenille patch or embroidered back graphic is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSET-IN SLEEVES DEFINE SHOULDER BALANCE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGenuine cream sheepskin forms the full sleeves, with an approximate leather thickness of 0.9 mm. The photographs show a fine natural grain and subtle tonal movement rather than the perfectly uniform surface associated with imitation leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDefined armholes establish a set-in shoulder construction instead of a raglan cut. Shaped leather sections and controlled tonal stitching follow the arms, providing room for normal elbow movement without adding decorative seam contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSheepskin should gradually become more flexible at natural movement points, while light creasing around the elbows is an expected characteristic of genuine leather. Additional terminology covering hides and finishes is available in our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/darkravenhide.com\/pages\/leather-jacket-faqs\"\u003ehide-and-finish buying answers\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePALE FASTENERS CREATE A TONAL CENTERLINE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCream-colored snap fasteners run through the Oxford-gray center placket. Their soft finish coordinates with the sleeves and pocket trim while avoiding the harder appearance of exposed brass or polished silver hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wool placket continues below the ribbed waistband and carries two additional snaps. This traditional letterman detail helps the lower front remain aligned when every fastener is closed. For a more relaxed appearance, the upper snaps can be left open over a plain T-shirt or lightweight sweatshirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eANGLED WELTS PRESERVE FRONT SIMPLICITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo diagonally positioned hand pockets sit within the lower wool panels. Narrow cream sheepskin welts connect their openings visually with the sleeves while maintaining a flatter profile than external patch pockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pocket angle follows the natural resting position of the hands. These compartments are best used for hand warming and light essentials; repeatedly carrying bulky objects may pull on the pocket bags or disturb the clean front shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWORSTED RIB KNIT ADDS ATHLETIC COLOR\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe roll collar, cuffs and waistband are made from 100% worsted-wool rib knit. A black foundation is crossed by crisp red and white stripes, establishing a stronger collegiate signal than the otherwise quiet gray-and-cream palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe closely knitted 2 × 2 structure supplies stretch around the neck, wrists and lower body while helping those edges return to shape after wear. Matching striping continues around the rear waistband, so the color treatment remains consistent from every viewing angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a flight-derived counterpart with a different leather arrangement, compare the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/darkravenhide.com\/collections\/double-goose-v-bomber-leather-jackets\"\u003eDouble Goose V-bomber lineup\u003c\/a\u003e associated with Original Goose Country styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDIAMOND QUILTING SUPPORTS LIGHT INSULATION\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior is finished with smooth black diamond-quilted lining. The repeated stitched cells hold the lining in an orderly pattern, create a low-friction surface over clothing and provide light insulation for cooler conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA horizontal internal pocket is integrated into the quilted side and framed by a cream leather welt. It provides separate storage for cards, folded documents or a slim phone. The neckline also includes a light leather locker loop for brief hanging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a heavily insulated or shearling-lined winter coat. Its practical temperature range will depend on wind, activity level and the thickness of the layers worn underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBLANK BACK PANEL KEEPS GRAPHICS OPTIONAL\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse uses a broad, uninterrupted Oxford-gray wool panel bordered by cream sleeves and the striped waistband. There is no exterior lettering, appliqué, team number, embroidered artwork or decorative logo across the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe clean surface allows the materials and trim to remain the main design features. It also makes the jacket easy to style with blue or black denim, khaki chinos, neutral workwear trousers, casual boots and canvas sneakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA blank surface should not automatically be treated as customization-ready. Adding patches may require opening and resewing the quilted lining, and unsuitable stitching or adhesive can permanently mark wool and leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCONSTRUCTION REGISTER LISTS MATERIAL FACTS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eU.S. category\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMen’s wool varsity jacket \/ leather-sleeve letterman jacket\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTorso material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDense 22 oz Melton wool\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody color\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLight Oxford gray\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGenuine cream sheepskin leather\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeather gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eApproximately 0.9 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShoulder type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDefined set-in sleeve construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnitted borders\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e100% worsted-wool 2 × 2 rib knit\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccent colors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack, red and white\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront closure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFull cream snap-button placket\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOuter storage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTwo angled double-welt pockets with sheepskin trim\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInner storage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOne leather-trimmed horizontal welt pocket\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInterior finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack diamond-quilted lining\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear treatment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eClean wool panel without patches or embroidery\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilhouette\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTraditional waist-length letterman proportions\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntended purpose\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFashion outerwear; not certified motorcycle protective equipment\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification transparency:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 22 oz figure describes the stated Melton wool fabric weight, not the finished jacket’s total weight.
