Bar Details: Add That Extra Edge to Your Varsity Jacket

Signature Design Features for the Bold & Ambitious

Bars are a classic feature in varsity jacket designs, adding a dynamic touch that signals achievement, sportiness, and personal style. At Danzelica & Co., we offer a range of customizable bar options that you can add to your jacket, from sleeve stripes to custom bar embroidery, all designed to make your jacket stand out.

1. Sleeve Stripes: The Classic Look

Adding sleeve stripes is one of the easiest ways to bring that authentic varsity vibe to your jacket. It’s sporty, clean, and instantly recognizable.

  • Position: Typically on the sleeves (top or lower)

  • Customization Options: Choose from single or multiple stripes

  • Material Options: Wool stripes, leather patches, or embroidered stripes

  • Color Options: Contrast colors to match or complement your jacket’s base

Example:

  • Two thick stripes in white across the upper sleeve of a navy jacket.

  • One bold red stripe on the lower sleeve for a modern twist.

Perfect for: Those who want a clean, traditional look with just the right amount of flair.

2. Shoulder Bars: For a Striking Silhouette

Shoulder bars add a bold accent across the shoulders of your jacket, providing structure and making the overall design stand out. It’s a sleek and sophisticated way to add some subtle edge to your jacket.

  • Position: Across the shoulders or upper arms

  • Customization Options: Can be solid bars or layered bars for a more intricate look

  • Material Options: Leather, satin fabric, or embroidery

  • Color Options: Match your jacket or choose a complementary contrasting color

Example:

  • Two parallel black leather bars across the shoulder of a maroon jacket.

  • Embroidered gold bars subtly blending into the jacket’s natural color for a luxurious feel.

Perfect for: Those who want a refined, bold statement that’s still sleek and stylish.

3. Sleeve & Shoulder Bar Combo: Ultimate Customization

For the ultimate sporty and personalized touch, combining both sleeve and shoulder bars will give your jacket a powerful visual impact. This layered design shows attention to detail and makes your varsity jacket one-of-a-kind.

  • Position: One or two bars across the shoulders + stripes on the sleeves

  • Customization Options: Layered stripes, solid or embroidered bars, or color-blocking

  • Material Options: Wool, leather, metallic embroidery

  • Color Options: Choose colors that pop or go for a more subtle, tone-on-tone design

Example:

  • A combination of black leather bars on the shoulders and bold white stripes running down the sleeves.

  • Navy wool bars on the shoulders paired with navy and gold striped sleeves.

Perfect for: Those looking to make a statement with a balanced yet bold design.

4. Custom Number or Achievement Bars

Add a personal touch to your jacket with custom number or achievement bars. Whether it’s your team number, graduation year, or a personal milestone, these bars allow you to commemorate your achievements in style.

  • Position: Sleeve, back, or chest

  • Customization Options: Numbers, team names, special year or date

  • Material Options: Embroidered or leather

  • Color Options: Contrast thread or matching color schemes

Example:

  • Your high school graduation year (e.g. "2025") embroidered as a small bar across the chest.

  • A team number (e.g. "24") embroidered as a thick bar on the sleeve.

Perfect for: Those who want to honor an important date, milestone, or achievement with style.

5. Chevron Bars: A Unique Twist

Chevron bars offer a distinctive look and a nod to military or professional athletic jackets. These “V” shaped stripes add texture and a dynamic design to the traditional bar concept.

  • Position: Across the upper arms or chest area

  • Customization Options: Two or three chevrons stacked to create a “V” shape

  • Material Options: Wool or leather chevrons

  • Color Options: Contrasting colors for the chevrons or tonal blends

Example:

  • Three black leather chevrons stacked diagonally on the sleeve of a red jacket.

  • A silver chevron on the back of a dark gray jacket for a sleek look.

Perfect for: Those who want a modern and unique take on traditional bars.
