Burk's Bay 5000 Wool Leather Varsity Jacket
A 21 oz./yd˛ melton wool body and cowhide leather sleeves make this a classic varsity jacket, cut oversized and unisex. Two double-welt leather slash pockets sit at the front. The lining is 100% quilted nylon with polyester fiberfill, and the cuffs, waistband, and collar are knit.
Where it gets used
Schools, teams, and corporate programs use it when the award or uniform piece should read as a letter jacket. It also works for alumni gifts, company stores, and recognition runs that want wool and leather rather than a nylon bomber.
Who it is for
Unisex wearers who want a wool and leather varsity in sizes XS-6XL, with talls XLT-3XLT. Buyers ordering branded outerwear for teams, schools, and logo programs. Anyone comparing a melton body and cowhide sleeves against an all-leather bomber.
Why they pick this cut
The oversized wool body and cowhide sleeves are the reason it gets chosen. Double-welt leather slash pockets keep the classic varsity front. Knit at the collar, cuffs, and waistband holds the shape. Quilted nylon with polyester fiberfill adds warmth through the body without changing the letter-jacket look.
How they use it
Wear it as the team or school jacket, with a mark on the chest or sleeve. Slash pockets hold a phone or gloves. Award programs issue it as the recognition piece when the brief calls for a varsity, not a work coat.
Embroidery and print
Melton wool takes a chest or sleeve embroidery cleanly if the design is sized for a firm wool body. Keep the mark off the knit collar and the welt pockets. Leather sleeves can take a smaller mark, but a dense stitch count can pucker the hide, so keep sleeve art tighter than body art.
Sizing
Unisex sizes run XS-6XL, with talls XLT, 2XLT, and 3XLT. The body is oversized, so order the usual size unless a closer fit is the goal. Move to a tall if the sleeve and body need extra length.
