The iconic varsity jacket’s origins trace all the way back to Harvard University in the year 1865. Harvard’s baseball team at the time was the first known group of students to sew large old English “H” patches onto their uniforms. But these uniforms weren’t varsity jackets, so to speak. Not yet, at least. The Harvard uniform was basically a thick-knitted gray flannel pullover and, with the giant “H” sewn right onto the center, these soon came to be known as “letterman” sweaters.

Varsity jacket is basically a baseball style jacket that is usually worn by high school and college students. It features an embossed design or patches on the back and chest and helps the wearer to showcase the associated wins and achievements. With their youthful and sporty design, these jackets carry a very trendy look which makes them more appealing. Due to the durable material used in making, varsity jackets run long in the wardrobe and are a must-have for all fashion enthusiasts.
