A wool-rich varsity jacket from across the pond
While the varsity jacket is primarily an American icon, English icons Gloverall built their very own Wool Varsity Jacket with inspiration from Daley Thompson, one of Britain’s greatest all-round athletes. Stitched with a wool-rich blend and a touch of cashmere, it has the sturdiness you want from a varsity jacket but with a luxurious feel and detailing. It features a button-down front with two angled hand pockets, a buttoned pocket, and a secret internal chest pocket.

About Gloverall
Born from postwar necessity, Gloverall began when Harold and Freda Morris were tasked with selling surplus Royal Navy duffle coats after WWII. The coats sold out so fast that the couple decided to make a civilian version of the duffel coat in 1951. From there, Gloverall would go on to become a major player in British culture in the decades that followed. They outfitted the British Winter Olympic Team in the 80s, and appeared on an Oasis album cover in the 90s. Today, Gloverall continues to be viewed as an undeniable part of British culture, relying on the fields, farms, and hard-working spirit of England to make the best menswear in every stitch.
