Stewart & Strauss Original Varsity Letterman Jacket Since 1977 (48 Team Colors) Wool & Leather XXS to 6XL

I don't usually leave product reviews, unless a product is unusually good or unusually bad. This jacket exceeded my expectations. It's comfortable, warm, well made and looks great. I looked for a throwback varsity jacket for some time and could never find one worth buying. Outside of scoring something truly vintage, this jacket hits all the marks. This thing has genuine leather sleeves and pocket accents; a quilted lining INCLUDING the inside of the sleeves; a (mostly) wool body; and quality details, like that little leather coat loop above the stitched leather label. I am 5'9 and 155# and the M size fits me great, hitting at the waist and at the shoulders just right, with plenty of room for a sweatshirt (crew neck or hoody) underneath. Without any under layer, the jacket is warm enough to wear in 40 degree weather. I have only minor criticisms; the body is an 80/20 wool/nylon blend (not 100% wool), but it still feels great. The cow leather sleeves are pebbled grain, which is OK, although I would have preferred smooth leather (not sure if that's the case with other color combinations). The sleeves are a bit on the baggy side, but that really gives it a "retro" look. This jacket really SCORES!!!

This jacket looks very good. Wears well and keeps you warm in the cold and rain. True to size.

I wish to be brief as to the quality of my jacket, so simply said: It is well made and the craftsmanship shows it.I prefer to focus on the fit, which seems to be a common issue broached in the reviews, so here is my perspective: I am 5'9" and weigh 237. I normally use 2XL sizing in terms of T-shirt, sweaters, and business shirts; however, by following the measurement directions provided by Stewart & Strauss, it recommended I order size 3XL and I'm glad I went by the recommendation.I received my jacket the day after Christmas (gift to myself - haha!) and right out of the box the jacket fit very well. Albeit, the sleeves are slightly long, but it's not a deal breaker for me, i.e., to return the jacket for exchange or refund, as I was more interested in the overall fit as to my chest and shoulders. I am very satisfied with this jacket. In the end, measure yourself or have someone measure you as suggested by S&S, and do consider your height and weight, as it will be helpful and might save you frustration with incorrect fitting. Best to you all!

The jacket is perfect! It looks just like the picture and fits great. My daughter is 5’2 120lbs. The small fits nice. Good quality and received it within 2 days. Went to a local embroidery shop and we love the final product!!

Really good quality. Looks great with all the patches.

This is a quality jacket. the fit was a bit snug for an tall but all in all great jacket.

I love everything about the jacket! It’s stylish,well constructed and very warm! If I had a dislike, it would be the sleeves. They’re very stiff right now..🤣

Wanted a "jock jacket" since high school. Shopped and looked for the best. That lead me to Stewart & Strauss. Sooo glad they sell through Amazon. Read many (MANY) reviews here and the S&S website. Lost a LOT of weight the past five years so I gotta be very careful about fit. Read all the comments I could about fit. Checked out the S&S size chart and used their in site app for deciding fit. After all that I almost went with a large tall, but after much thought I went the large and gotta tell ya--ABSOLUTELY glad I did. Fits like it was made for me. Sleeves perfectly long enough. I believe a tall would have bunched at the arm/wrist. Waist hits perfect and chest is as I said, like it was made for me. The challenge--NOT to order another color. Got a black one but was tempted to get cardinal red as that's my high school colors. This was my 71st birthday present to myself and I couldn't be more please and satisfied. Buying through Amazon insured I could easily return it but there's no need for that! Don't hesitate, go with the best!
