Editors Notes

Grey varsity-style snap-front jacket with striped rib knit collar, cuffs, and hem, white contrast shoulder panels, welt pockets, quilted lining, and embroidered camp-style patches including 'Desert Challenge 1992 Tri Lakes Spring Camporee' and a '100+' badge.

Varsity jackets grew out of American school and collegiate athletic wear, becoming a symbol of team spirit and youth culture through the mid-to-late 20th century. Hang Ten is best known for its laid-back California surf heritage, so seeing the brand applied to a sporty letterman-style jacket gives it an interesting crossover feel. This piece shows the classic details collectors look for, including a wool-look body, striped rib trims, snap front, and souvenir-style embroidered patches. Today, vintage varsity jackets remain popular for their bold silhouette and nostalgic Americana styling, and they pair easily with denim, workwear, or streetwear looks.
