Choose Your Jacket Style — Select from Classic Varsity, Satin, Retro Letterman, Hooded Varsity, or Varsity Sweaters. 2. Personalize Your Jacket — Customize with chenille letters, patches, embroidery, colors, and materials. 3. Order Confirmation & Production — Your order details become the blueprint and skilled craftsmen begin production. 4. Quality Inspection — Every jacket is checked for stitching, patch placement, materials, and finishing. 5. Shipping & Delivery — After inspection, the jacket ships and tracking is sent by email. ## Materials & construction Structured wool body, genuine leather sleeves (traditional styles), rib-knit collar/cuffs/waistband, reinforced stitching, chenille letter patches, embroidery (names/logos). Common styles: classic wool-body varsity, leather-sleeve varsity, all-leather, satin, denim, fleece/cotton, cropped, oversized, hooded varsity jackets, and varsity sweaters. ## Sizing Separate men's and women's size charts, measurements in both inches and centimeters. If between sizes, choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit. A varsity jacket should feel snug in the shoulders with comfortable room in the chest; choose a more relaxed fit for a streetwear look or hoodie layering. ## Shipping (live checkout options, United States) - International Shipping: Free, 16-20 business days total delivery. - Economy Shipping: $30 flat rate, 12-16 business days total delivery. - Express Shipping: $60 flat rate, 7-10 business days total delivery. - Production/processing time: 5-8 business days (included in the totals above). - Tracking is emailed once the order is dispatched; tracking may take 24-48 hours to update. ## Returns & refunds Because jackets are made-to-order, change-of-mind returns are not accepted.
