Italian textile company Loro Piana has provided the fabric for a beautifully crafted bomber jacket that is not your run of the mill varsity jacket. The made in the USA Loro Piana Bomber Jacket ($638) is crafted from some of the finest materials available. The wool is so luxurious it almost feels like cashmere. The sleeves are made from 100% sheep leather and the standard snaps you find on varsity jackets have been replaced with buttons. Preorders are being taken now and are expected to ship the end of September.
WTPAS (pronounced double taps) is offering a contemporary take on the classic varsity jacket. Made in collaboration with Harris Tweed, the WTAPS X Harris Tweed Varsity jacket ($940) features a handwoven harris tweed wool exterior, a plush quilted lining, and contrasting orange ribbing on the cuffs, and at the waist.
