LETTERMAN SHOW The iconic varsity jacket’s origins trace all the
way back to Harvard University in the year 1865. Harvard’s baseball team at the time was the first known group of students to sew large old English “H” patches onto their uniforms. But these uniforms weren’t varsity jackets, they were basically a thick-knitted gray flannel pullover and soon came to be known as “letterman” sweaters. Cardigans gained popularity over pullovers, thus making it necessary to shift the letter over from the centre of the chest to the left. By 1930, the varsity jacket finally took on the form we’re so familiar with today. OFF-WHITE €3,800
