Pendleton Oregon Wool

The iconic varsity jacket can be traced back to baseball players at Harvard University in 1865, when members of the team wore the first iteration of the garment. It looked quite different back then. As the story goes, the team decided to sew a giant “H” on the center of their sweaters, giving birth to the first varsity sweater. At some point, this varsity sweater merged with the bomber jacket and gained some leather accoutrements to become the style we all know today. It’s still worn by high school student athletes all over America, and stylish folks across the globe.
