Varsity Jackets Price in Pakistan

Varsity jacket

A jacket of American origin that has its beginning in the sporting culture of their colleges and universities. The word 'varsity' refers to their starting teams. The varsity jacket was introduced by the Harvard University baseball team in 1865, since then the style has been adopted by almost all other institutions. It is still closely associated with the sport of baseball today.

A varsity jacket has a large letter sewn onto where the breast pocket is supposed to be. The initial is from the player's name, with the captain having an accompanying star. The varsity jacket was awarded to players on the team so they stand out when they represent their institution. Owning one was a matter of pride, it was not bought out of respect for the tradition of being awarded it. Certain schools today only award the letter, meaning players and other students purchase the jacket before.

The back of the jacket would have the team or institution name on it. These jackets are also known as letterman jackets due to the letter sewn on.

Over time the style has also become a common fashion option.
