LSE Varsity Jacket
A true symbol of achievement, identity, and collegiate pride, the varsity jacket—also known as a letterman jacket—has long been associated with sporting excellence and school spirit. Now reimagined for modern wardrobes, the LSE Varsity Jacket blends this rich heritage with contemporary style.
The varsity jacket traces its origins to Harvard University in 1865, where baseball players were awarded monogrammed sweaters to recognise outstanding performance. By the early 20th century, this tradition evolved into the iconic wool-and-leather jacket silhouette we recognise today.
Rising to cultural prominence in the 1950s and 1960s, the varsity jacket became synonymous with youthful identity and campus life, immortalised in films such as Grease and Rebel Without a Cause. In the decades that followed, it was embraced by music and streetwear culture, further cementing its status as a global fashion staple.
While still awarded in some schools and universities to recognise student accomplishment, the varsity jacket has evolved far beyond its original purpose. Today, it is celebrated for its timeless design, cultural significance, and versatility—seamlessly transitioning from heritage sportswear to everyday style.
From campus to city streets, the LSE Varsity Jacket embodies this legacy. At its core, it remains a statement of achievement and individuality—whether worn as a mark of pride, a nod to tradition, or a bold expression of personal style.

WASH AT LOW TEMPERATURES (30°C OR LOWER):
Wash your printed garments at 30°C or lower to prevent prints from fading or
deteriorating over time. Cooler washes also help protect the fabric from
shrinking, bobbling, or fading.
HANG DRY (OR IF YOU MUST, TUMBLE DRY LOW)
The best way to dry printed garments is to hang them up to air dry. High heat from tumble drying can cause prints to fade or crack over time and may also shrink the garment. If you must tumble dry, use the lowest heat setting.
WASH INSIDE OUT
Before washing, turn your garments inside out. This protects the print from rubbing against other clothes and helps keep it looking fresher for longer. It also
reduces wear on the garment itself, keeping it smoother and less prone to pilling.
WASH WITH LIKE COLOURS / MATERIALS
Before washing, we recommend turning your garments inside out. This helps protect the print from rubbing against other clothes and keeps it looking fresh for longer. It also reduces wear on the garment itself, preventing pilling and surface damage.
USE MILD DETERGENTS AND AVOID BLEACH
Use a mild detergent to clean your printed garments. Harsh chemicals, such as bleach, can cause colours to fade and may weaken both the print and fabric. For stains, apply a gentle stain remover to the affected area before washing.
DO NOT IRON OVER THE PRINT
Avoid ironing directly over the printed area. If needed, turn the garment inside out or place a cloth over the print and use a low heat setting to prevent damage.
