DESCRIPTION
Like many other popular items of clothing, the letterman jacket has its origins in sports. From 1865, the best players on Harvard University's baseball team received a gray flannel jersey with an embroidered "H" for their athletic achievements. This concept was adopted by other universities and schools, and from 1930 onwards the current form of the college or varsity jacket, as this symbol of American sports culture is also called, developed.
In the 1950s, they became a major fashion trend and it became common practice for high school athletes in particular to lend their jackets to their girlfriends as a sign of affection and pride.
The classic letterman jacket is considered the ultimate preppy icon. TOM RIPLEY has reinterpreted this coveted styling essential in soft chenille with a Trenkercord character - a trademark of the timeless "mid-century styles". The comfortable blouson collar made of soft rib is typical. Raglan sleeves promise the best freedom of movement and a sporty silhouette. The practical, full-length metal zip is equipped with a TOM RIPLEY puller and two side pockets offer space for your most important items. Elastic cuffs on the sleeves and hem ensure a perfect fit and keep you warm on cooler days. The iconic initials on the front are of course a must.
With this highlight of the Prep Revival trend, you have almost unlimited combination options for different outfits. With jeans, a simple T-shirt and sneakers, your look will be casual. It will be chic if you combine chinos, a shirt and leather shoes. You can create the perfect streetwear look with cargo pants, a hoodie and high-top sneakers. For a sporty look, choose sweatpants, sneakers and round off this outfit with a baseball cap.
