The varsity jackets have a long history in the world of fashion. They are also called “Letterman jackets,” and are originally originated in the USA at Harvard University in the year 1865. Since then, the Men's and Womens Varsity Jacket has been a compulsory piece of fashion for every youngster. This trend started with the baseball team of this popular university, which started to sew "H" on the sweaters of their team to represent excellence in sports. This gradually evolved into the classic designs we see today, usually featuring a large letter on the chest and contrasting sleeves.
