James Dant x Dehen - Varsity Jacket - Deep Navy, Rust

James Dant x Dehen 1920 - Varsity Jacket - Deep Navy, Rust

Excited is an understatement when it comes to this custom jacket cut just for James Dant. We've been eyeballing a collaboration with Dehen for about 8 months, and it's finally here. This is the perpetuation of a beautiful relationship we've been forming over the past 18 months. We wanted to develop a varsity jacket first because it's such an iconic piece. And for that reason, we made it with some nostalgic colors. We started with the deep navy melton wool base from Pendleton Wool Mills. We knew from the beginning that navy and rust was the combo we wanted. From there, we played with the design until we came up with the double red line ribbing design. This piece was made specifically for this jacket to match the deep navy body. Then, we had some decisions to make in terms of interior and hardware. Once we put the antique brass snaps on the mockup, there was no turning back. It created a nice contrast but also didn't steal the show. And, we had to go with the quilted interior liner. It's such a perfect addition to make this piece able to withstand even the coldest months. We sent off our Lucky Number 7 Clubs tag to eloquently stitch onto the interior pocket, and the piece was complete.

This is a limited, exclusive run for James Dant. If past experience has proven anything, it's that Dehen Varsity Jackets don't stick around, let alone a custom one. We've worked very hard to make this baby a sleek yet nostalgic piece to match our specific style. We hope you love it!

Fit Notes: Our first impression is that Dehen fits with a more American cut (i.e. larger). We've been proven wrong with the past few pieces though. We would say this brand has one of the truest fits on the market if that's possible. Shop owner Tommy is wearing a medium in the picture. The only way he can wear a small is over a tee-shirt, and while it has a more trimming look...it's much better for him to have the extra room. The medium fits spot on with a button-up or sweatshirt underneath. Keep in mind, this jacket is thick and lined....and all measurements are taken from the outside. So there's going to be a lot of padding there you need to account for. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs with a 40" chest.
