A bold fusion of heritage and streetwear in a single jacket

The AC-10 RED BEIGE from American College isn’t just another teddy jacket—it’s a statement piece that bridges the gap between classic collegiate style and modern urban edge. Designed for those who appreciate the quality manufacturing of wool and the timeless appeal of leather, this jacket pairs a vibrant 100% wool body in striking red with long sleeves in genuine beige (cream) leather. The result? A look that’s as versatile as it is eye-catching, effortlessly transitioning from casual outings to more polished ensembles.

A design rooted in practicality and detail

Beyond its striking bi-material construction, the AC-10 RED BEIGE is built for everyday wear. The regular (straight) cut ensures a comfortable fit without sacrificing style, while the combination of a zip and button closure offers both security and a nod to retro aesthetics. Practicality meets personality with two side pockets and two interior pockets—perfect for stashing essentials or keeping your hands warm. The tricolour ribbed cuffs and hem add a sporty touch, a subtle homage to the athletic roots of American College’s design philosophy.

Embroidered with history

What truly sets this jacket apart is its attention to detail. Six embroidered logos and patches adorn the front and sleeves, each one a testament to the brand’s rich streetwear heritage. These aren’t just decorative elements—they’re storytellers, evoking the spirit of American campus culture and the rebellious energy of 90s street style. Whether you’re layering it over a hoodie or pairing it with a crisp shirt, these details ensure the jacket remains a conversation starter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of leather is used for the sleeves?

The sleeves are made from genuine leather, specifically a soft and supple variety that provides a comfortable fit while maintaining durability. The beige (cream) colour gives it a versatile, understated elegance.

How should I care for the wool and leather parts of this jacket?

For the wool body, dry cleaning is recommended to preserve its shape and texture. The leather sleeves should be cleaned with a damp cloth and conditioned occasionally with a leather-specific product to prevent drying or cracking. Avoid exposing the jacket to excessive moisture or direct heat.

Is the wool lining warm enough for winter?

The 100% wool body provides substantial warmth, making it suitable for autumn and winter. However, in extremely cold conditions, layering with a thermal garment underneath may be advisable for added insulation.

How does the jacket fit around the shoulders and chest?

The regular fit offers a straight, relaxed silhouette, allowing for comfortable movement. The shoulders are designed to sit naturally, neither too snug nor overly loose, while the chest provides enough room for layering without appearing bulky.

Can the jacket be worn in rainy conditions?

While the wool body can handle light moisture, it is not waterproof. The leather sleeves may also absorb water, which could lead to staining or stiffness. It’s best to avoid heavy rain or use a protective spray designed for wool and leather if necessary.

What are the tricolour ribbed cuffs made of?

The tricolour ribbed cuffs, waistband, and collar are typically made from a blend of elasticated materials, such as cotton and elastane, to ensure a snug fit while maintaining flexibility and comfort.

Are the interior pockets secure for storing valuables?

The two interior pockets are deep and positioned close to the body, making them relatively secure for small items like a phone or wallet. However, they do not feature zips or fastenings, so it’s advisable not to carry high-value items in them for extended periods.
