Varsity Jacket - Brown, Black
Dehen 1920 - Varsity Jacket - Brown, Black
The Varsity Jacket is an American Icon. No one does it like Dehen. The supple leather and wool body on this sleek, streamlined jacket are nothing like the one you probably had 20 years ago. This is the real deal. Dehen crafts each one of these pieces by hand using time-honored methods in their factory in Portland. If you love rocking high-top sneakers and raw denim, you can't go wrong with a varsity jacket. This color combo is super unique and unlike anything we've seen them do before. We're really digging the black leather on the sleeves and the chocolate goodness of the melton wool body.
- Pendleton 24 ounce melton wool body
- Premium leather sleeves, pocket welts, and locker loop
- 100% worsted wool trim
- Roll collar
- Quilted Lining
- internal patch pocket
- Snap front closure

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 small in this picture, more as an experiment rather than a true attempt at sizing the jacket. If you pop over to the oxford variation, you'll be able to see what a Medium looks like. The only way Tommy was able to fit a small was by wearing only a tee-shirt underneath, and even then the range of motion in the arms was lacking. If you plan to layer at all with this jacket, stick with your true size. Tommy is 5'10," 162lbs with a 40" chest.
Apparel
The last time we saw this flannel it was dyed with Kakishibu. We didn't think that could be topped, but you know how much we love mud. Amami Dorozome is an age-old process done on the island of Amami-Oshima in Japan. It's a blend of mud and vegetable oil that creates rich earth tones in a washed-out, well-worn pigment only achievable through this process. In a traditional cotton check pattern such as this, it shines its brightest. We didn't get our hands on this personally last time, but we aren't going to let this one slip through our fingers.

These guys keep one-upping the Sashiko game every year. We didn't get a chance to see these in person, but we're so glad we picked them up. They are so much better than we could've even imagined. At first sight, they look like a denim pant lined with a hickory stipe screen print. Then, we got close up and realized it was the vertical sashiko creating that line work. The hand-feel after the one-wash is beyond soft, but they're still packed with so much color you're still going to get those incredible highs and lows in the knees. The great part about sashiko is you get varied high points throughout the garment that catch wear in a different way. The inspiration for sashiko garments derives from the Japanese sashiko which never truly died. They would use pieces of the last garment to create the new, hand stitching throughout. Well, they've taken this concept and created a modern work of art. They've used a combination of No.6 warp and No.5 weft yarns on specially calibrated Jacquards looms. Their hope is to replicate the Sashiko stitchwork of the kimonos, and we'd say they've accomplished that pretty damn well.

The only thing that could've improved this serge western was a new color. This one was originally called Mocha Brown, which we think is very suitable. It's this rich color that suits this now iconic shirt. It used to be that we rarely saw green from Iron Heart, but now green is a staple. So, we've been super stoked to see khakis and browns rearing their pretty heads. You can't go wrong with the western cut, unless you don't size up, as it has some absolutely gorgeous details. We love the yokes and Permex buttons the most on these beauties.
