A women's varsity jacket, also called a letterman jacket, combines college-sport heritage with modern streetwear. At Avanzar Leather, our women’s varsity jacket collection includes nearly 30 leather styles.
You will find cropped varsity jackets in black, blue, green, pink and light pink; varsity bombers with contrast sleeves such as maroon and white, red and white, black and white and sea green and white; hooded letterman jackets; and unique combinations like brown with pink sleeves and beige with white sleeves.
Whether you want something sporty, cute or bold, there is a varsity jacket here to match your style.
Varsity jackets began in American colleges, where athletes earned letters for their achievements and wore them on wool and leather jackets.
Over the decades, the varsity jacket moved from campus into music videos, films and streetwear, becoming a symbol of youthful confidence.
Women's varsity jackets today come in cropped, fitted and oversized cuts, with bold colours and contrast sleeves that make them a fun, fashion-forward choice.
Here are the main varsity styles in the collection.
Black, blue, green, pink and light pink cropped varsity bombers.
Maroon and white, red and white, black and white and sea green and white.
Grey, black, and red with white sleeves in hooded letterman styles.
Pink and light pink varsity bombers for a playful look.
Brown with pink sleeves, black with pink sleeves and beige with white sleeves.
Black cropped and bomber letterman jackets for a sleek, sporty style.
Every women's varsity jacket in this collection is built around the details that make leather outerwear last. Here is what we focus on.
Cut from genuine cowhide, lambskin, sheepskin or suede, as stated on each product page. No bonded or PU leather presented as real.
Stress points at the shoulders, pockets and cuffs are stitched to handle daily wear without splitting.
Metal zips, snaps and buckles chosen to match each style, from polished biker hardware to antique finishes.
Smooth linings for easy layering, with shearling, quilted or fur-lined options on cold-weather styles.
Shoulders and sleeves cut for everyday movement, so the jacket looks sharp standing and feels right in motion.
Most styles come in XS to 5XL, and many offer a custom-size option tailored to your measurements.
Different materials suit different lifestyles. Use this guide to pick the right one for how you will wear your jacket.
| Leather Type | Feel | Best For | Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cowhide | Firm, dense | Bikers, riding jackets, everyday wear | Toughest option; softens and builds a rich patina over time |
| Lambskin | Very soft, light | Fashion jackets, slim fits, layering | Buttery hand feel and natural drape; needs a little more care |
| Sheepskin | Soft, warm | Shearling, aviator and winter jackets | Often paired with natural wool shearling for warmth |
| Suede | Velvety, matte | Casual jackets, truckers, western styles | Relaxed texture; best kept away from heavy rain |
Choosing the right jacket is easier when you know what to look for. Here are four things to check before you order.
Cowhide is the toughest and ages with a deep patina, lambskin is the softest and lightest, sheepskin is warm, and suede gives a relaxed, velvety texture. Each product page states the exact material.
Check the size chart on the product page and think about what you will wear underneath. Most women's varsity jackets come in XS to 5XL, and many have a custom-size option.
Look at the lining: smooth linings suit layering in mild weather, while quilted, shearling or fur-lined styles are built for winter.
Zips, snaps, belts, studs and pockets change both the look and the practicality of a jacket. Choose details that match how you will use it.
Women's varsity jackets in this collection are cut with a shaped waist and slimmer sleeves. The shoulder seam should sit at the edge of your shoulder and the sleeves should end at the wrist. Cropped styles finish at or just above the waist, while bikers and bombers sit around the hip.
Leather moulds to your body over time, so a jacket that feels snug at first will relax slightly with wear. Suede and lambskin feel soft immediately; cowhide and sheepskin take a little longer. If you like to layer knits underneath, size up or choose a custom fit.
Most styles are available from XS to 5XL, and every product page includes a size chart. Many women's varsity jackets also offer a custom option, so we can tailor the fit to your measurements.

Wear a cropped varsity with high-waisted jeans or a skirt and trainers for an easy, sporty look. Longer bomber varsities layer well over hoodies.
Contrast-sleeve designs look best with simple outfits in one of the jacket's colours. Hooded letterman jackets are perfect for relaxed weekends.

Real leather is tough and forgiving, and a little care goes a long way. Wipe surface dirt away with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then let the jacket dry naturally at room temperature. Never dry leather on a radiator, with a hair dryer or in direct sun, because heat pulls the natural oils out of the hide and leads to cracking.
Every few months, or after the jacket gets wet, apply a good-quality leather conditioner with a soft cloth. This keeps the hide supple and helps it resist water and stains. Test any product on a hidden area first, especially on light colours.
Store your jacket on a wide, padded hanger so the shoulders keep their shape, and use a breathable cotton garment bag rather than plastic, which traps moisture. Avoid folding leather at the same crease for long periods. With basic care, a well-made leather jacket lasts for many years and looks better with age.
