The varsity jacket, also called a letterman jacket, started as a symbol of pride in American universities. But today, it has gone global. In India, it’s no longer just for athletes — colleges, startups, and corporates are embracing varsity jackets as premium team wear.

At Alma Mater Store, we’ve seen varsity jackets rise as one of the most requested bulk orders in 2025. Here’s why varsity jackets are becoming the next big thing in team apparel.

1. Premium Look & Feel

Varsity jackets immediately stand out with their contrasting sleeves, button-up style, and bold designs.

• They look luxurious and stylish.

• Perfect for teams that want to make a statement at events.

• Works equally well in college culture and corporate branding.

Why it works: A varsity jacket is more than clothing — it’s an identity marker.

2. Symbol of Unity & Pride

Whether it’s a college batch or a startup team, varsity jackets create an instant sense of belonging.

• Teams wear them at fests, sports meets, and cultural events.

• Corporates use them for employee recognition and offsites.

• Startups adopt them as a symbol of their youthful, energetic culture.

Why it works: Just like hoodies, varsity jackets turn a group of individuals into a team that looks and feels united.

3. Long-Lasting Durability

Varsity jackets are made with premium blended fabrics (cotton + polyester with fleece lining).

• Thick, warm, and stylish — perfect for India’s winter season.

• Retain their shape and style for many, many years.

• Embroidery or patches look stunning on them.

Why it works: Varsity jackets aren’t disposable apparel — they’re designed to last.

4. Perfect for Customization

A varsity jacket is a canvas for creativity.

Options for customization include:

• Front chest embroidery → Company/college logo.

• Back panel design → Bold slogan, event branding, or batch year.

• Sleeve patches → Numbers, initials, or crests.

Pro Tip: Keep designs bold and minimal for the most premium look.

5. Premium Yet Affordable in Bulk

At Alma Mater Store, varsity jackets start at just ₹999 per piece (100+ units).

• MOQ = 10 units, bulk discounts from 10 onward.

• Embroidery and printing available.

• Lower than imported jackets but with equal premium finish.

Why it works: Affordable enough for large groups, premium enough to feel exclusive.
