The varsity jacket reimagined—where heritage meets modern quality manufacturing.

The AC-17 Navy Beige from American College is not just another varsity jacket; it’s a piece of Americana reworked for today’s wardrobe. This iconic teddy varsity blends two timeless materials—wool and sheepskin leather—into a jacket that balances warmth, structure, and effortless style. The body is crafted from 100% wool, offering a soft yet durable foundation, while the sleeves feature genuine sheepskin leather, prized for its supple, velvety texture and natural insulation. The result? A jacket that feels as good as it looks, whether you’re layering it over a hoodie in autumn or wearing it as a statement piece in spring.

A design rooted in tradition, built for versatility.

The AC-17 stays true to the varsity jacket’s sporting origins while adapting to contemporary tastes. The straight, regular cut ensures a flattering fit for all body types, and the ribbed cuffs and hem—striped in contrasting colours—provide both structure and a snug seal against the elements. The front closure combines a zip with snap buttons, a nod to classic varsity designs, while the satin-lined interior adds a touch of luxury, ensuring the jacket glides smoothly over layers. With its mix of navy and beige (or cream), this jacket bridges the gap between casual and polished, making it a go-to for everything from weekend errands to nights out.

Crafted for comfort, designed to last.

Sheepskin leather isn’t just about looks—it’s a material that evolves with you. Over time, the leather will develop a unique patina, softening further while gaining character. The wool body, meanwhile, retains its shape and warmth, making this jacket a year-round staple. Whether you’re braving a chilly morning or adding a layer of sophistication to a simple tee and jeans, the AC-17 Navy Beige delivers on both form and function. And with its thoughtful details—like the contrast stitching, embroidered patches, and practical side pockets—it’s a jacket that doesn’t just keep you warm but tells a story.

American College has been a staple in the world of varsity jackets since the 1970s, drawing inspiration from the golden age of American collegiate style. The brand blends vintage aesthetics with modern manufacturing, creating pieces that feel both nostalgic and fresh. Known for their use of premium materials—like wool and genuine leather—American College jackets are designed to last, evolving with the wearer while maintaining their timeless appeal. Whether you’re a fan of classic varsity designs or looking for a jacket with a story, the brand delivers on authenticity and quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of leather is used for the sleeves?

The sleeves are made from genuine sheepskin leather, known for its exceptional softness and velvety texture.

How does the ribbed cuffing affect the fit?

The ribbed cuffs and hem provide structure, help retain warmth, and ensure the jacket sits snugly without restricting movement.

Is the wool lining warm enough for winter?

The 100% wool body combined with the satin lining offers good thermal regulation, making it suitable for all seasons, including mild winters.

How should I care for the sheepskin leather sleeves?

Avoid exposing the leather to excessive moisture. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dirt and apply a leather conditioner occasionally to maintain its suppleness.

Does the jacket stretch over time?
