This Wecnom varsity jacket is designed with a focus on high-impact visual style, featuring a black torso and contrasting sleeves. The body is crafted from a polyester "wool-touch" felt, which provides a classic collegiate look while remaining much lighter than authentic wool. The sleeves are constructed with a 0.8mm synthetic polyurethane (PU) coating over a polyester base, offering a water-resistant surface that handles light mist well.
The interior is finished with a 190T polyester taffeta lining, which provides a smooth feel when putting the jacket on. The front closure uses painted zinc alloy snaps that contribute to the jacket's sleek aesthetic. Because the materials are entirely synthetic, the jacket does not have the moisture-wicking properties of natural fibers and is best suited for mild temperatures rather than extreme cold. Practical features include:
- Lightweight chassis that is comfortable for long periods of wear.
- Water-resistant sleeve surfaces that are easy to wipe clean.
- A high-contrast aesthetic suitable for casual outings and photography.
Over time, the synthetic coating on the sleeves may show signs of wear at high-motion areas like the elbows, and the felt torso can develop pilling if it frequently rubs against bags or rough surfaces. To preserve the appearance of the painted snaps and the synthetic fabric, it is helpful to handle the closures gently. This garment is an objective choice for someone seeking the "letterman" look for seasonal fashion without the weight of traditional materials.
For those who need a more durable, all-weather option for commuting, the Giisam waterproof shell offers enhanced environmental protection.
