The Evolution of an American Classic
The varsity jacket, originally known as the letterman jacket, has come a long way from its humble beginnings in Harvard's baseball team uniforms of the 1860s. Today, women's varsity jackets represent a perfect fusion of athletic heritage and contemporary fashion, offering versatility that extends far beyond the sports field. At Jacket Of America, we're proud to present our carefully curated collection of women's varsity jackets that honor this rich tradition while embracing modern style sensibilities.
