The varsity jacket was created in 1865 as the uniform for the Harvard University baseball team. At the time, it was only worn by select star players, and was a very proud jacket in American college culture.
The varsity jacket, which was once considered a star of the sport, became popular as a uniform for team sports. It was later adopted by fashion and became a staple of American casual wear, and is now an essential item for coordinating street fashion.
BAPE®Since the brand's inception, has released a wide variety of varsity jacket designs, which have adorned the costumes of many fashion people, as well as celebrities and artists.
The varsity jacket, one of the brand's signature items, is available in a variety of designs this season.
