Varsity Jackets for the Whole Family

The classic varsity jacket is a fun blast from the past, back for the 2011-2012 cool weather season. It came back to the future from 1950 and takes its rightful spot among motorcycle jackets, denim and boyfriend sweaters. What makes the varsity jacket so unique is that it seems to usher in the return of playful fashion, and works for men, women, teens and babies alike. Few fashion trends can boast that fact.
