The varsity jacket reimagined—where heritage meets bold contrast.

The AC-13 BURGUNDY YELLOW from American College is not just another varsity jacket. It’s a statement piece that blends the timeless appeal of a teddy varsity with a striking two-tone design. The body is crafted from 100% wool, offering warmth and texture, while the sleeves are made from 100% genuine leather, adding a touch of edge and durability. The burgundy and gold colourway gives it a rich, autumnal feel, making it versatile enough to wear across seasons. Whether you’re dressing it up with tailored trousers or keeping it casual with jeans, this jacket brings a sporty yet refined energy to any outfit.

A fusion of materials, built for all-day comfort.

This jacket is designed with a straight, regular cut that flatters all body types, ensuring a comfortable fit without sacrificing style. The front and back are made from soft, insulating wool, while the leather sleeves provide structure and a hint of ruggedness. The combination of a zip and button closure offers flexibility—wear it fully zipped for a sleek look or leave the top buttons undone for a more relaxed vibe. Practical details like side pockets add functionality, while the embroidered patches and motifs on the front and sleeves give it a distinctive, retro-inspired character. It’s a jacket that doesn’t just keep you warm; it tells a story.

Today, American College keeps that spirit alive, blending vintage aesthetics with modern manufacturing. Their pieces are designed to be lived in—durable, comfortable, and full of character. Whether you’re a purist or someone who loves to mix classic and contemporary, their jackets are built to become wardrobe favourites, evolving with you over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of leather is used for the sleeves?

The sleeves are made from genuine leather, though the specific type (e.g., lamb, cowhide) is not detailed. The leather will develop a unique patina over time, enhancing its character with wear.

How should I care for the wool and leather combination?

For the wool, dry cleaning is recommended to maintain its shape and texture. The leather sleeves should be cleaned with a damp cloth and conditioned periodically to prevent drying or cracking. Avoid exposing the blouson to excessive moisture or direct heat.

Is the wool lining soft or itchy?

The wool used is typically a high-quality blend designed for comfort, so it should feel soft against the skin rather than itchy. However, sensitivity to wool varies, so consider wearing a base layer if you have particularly sensitive skin.

Does the blouson provide warmth in winter?

Yes, the combination of wool and leather offers good insulation, making it suitable for cooler weather. However, it is not designed for extreme cold, so layering may be necessary in harsher conditions.

How does the straight cut fit different body types?

The straight or regular cut is designed to be versatile, accommodating most body types comfortably. It provides a relaxed fit without being overly loose, making it suitable for both slim and broader frames.

Can the leather sleeves be repaired if damaged?

Yes, genuine leather can often be repaired by a professional cobbler or leather specialist, depending on the extent of the damage. Minor scratches or scuffs can usually be buffed out or treated with leather conditioner.

Are the decorative patches and embroidery removable?

The patches and embroidery are stitched onto the blouson, so they are not designed to be removable without altering the garment. Removing them may leave visible marks or damage the fabric.
