7 Truths Behind the Varsity Jacket Among Fashion Connoisseurs

Surely the varsity jacket is a product that is no longer too strange to many people, especially young people who are passionate about streetwear in particular. In recent years, when the trend of dressing in retro and vintage styles is gradually becoming hot again, along with that, items that have a long life span over time are also being renewed to suit the tastes of the times. Among them, the varsity jacket cannot be ignored.

Varsity jacket – From sports uniform to a luxury item.

 Varsity jackets, or commonly known by their Vietnamese name, baseball jackets, were first designed in 1865 at the world-famous university, Harvard.

At that time, the varsity jacket was created as a sports uniform for the elite members of the school's baseball team.

Therefore, in the original versions, this shirt did not have buttons like today, but was more like a sweater and had a large logo of the letter "H" - the abbreviation of Harvard University.

What's more special in the early years, the phrase "varsity jacket" was still unfamiliar to everyone, instead this product was called letterman jacket.

Soon, teams from different universities began releasing jerseys based on Harvard's original design.

Since then, the letterman jacket has gradually had certain changes in design.

It was not until 1930 that the final design as we know it today was produced under the name varsity jacket.

Varsity jackets are becoming increasingly popular and well-known for their aesthetic appeal and functionality.

Indeed, with just a varsity jacket, you can freely and comfortably mix and match clothes because this is a product that is not completely "picky" about the items that go with it. For example, you can wear them with straight-cut dress pants or wide-leg jeans,...

Besides, for me personally, what brought the hotness of varsity jackets back to the world fashion race was the vision of fashion giants.

If you remember, 5-6 years ago, the whole world went crazy over varsity jackets from the fashion brand Saint Laurent.

At that time, on the media, we could easily see images of domestic and foreign celebrities wearing Saint Laurent Teddy Varsity Jackets.

However, the baseball jacket craze in Vietnam became stronger than ever when vintage style took over.

At this time, retro and vintage styles are returning along with people's preference for secondhand items. And it is thanks to this approach that the varsity jacket has set foot on the S-shaped land without forgetting to bring the most core values ​​over time to our country.

So have you discovered all the values ​​and special features of varsity jackets compared to other jackets?

If the answer is no, today's article will help you find out 7 interesting things about this super hot jacket.
