Unmatched Craftsmanship and Iconic Details

Every element of this jacket speaks to its premium construction and thoughtful design. The body is a rich navy blue Melton wool, offering substantial warmth and a classic feel. The sleeves are a contrasting cream, made from supple, genuine leather that softens beautifully over time. On the left chest, the crisp white ‘NY’ Yankees logo is meticulously embroidered in chenille, providing a tactile, textured finish. The right chest proudly displays ‘HEART OF THE CITY’ text, a direct nod to Jay-Z’s anthem. An American flag patch is stitched onto the right sleeve, alongside various New York-themed text, adding layers of civic pride. The left cuff features ‘Yankees Team’ stitching, a subtle yet powerful detail. The jacket includes a quilted lining for comfort and warmth, along with front slip pockets and striped rib-knit collar, cuffs, and waistband for that authentic varsity silhouette.

This jacket is perfect for cool evenings at the ballpark, city strolls, or any occasion where you want to make a statement. It pairs effortlessly with dark denim or tailored trousers.

Care for Your Investment

To maintain the pristine condition of your varsity jacket, dry clean only. Avoid machine washing to protect the wool and leather components. Store it on a wide hanger to preserve its shape, especially across the shoulders. For minor spills on the leather, gently wipe with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
