The newest Varsity silhouette to hit the market comes in the form of a hybrid piece by renown Japanese designer Junya Watanabe. Combining the traditional ribbed shawl collar, snap buttons and extra-heavy felted wool, the garment is not only a classic varsity jacket but every bit a blazer as well. Although very distinct and original, this finely executed piece retails for a pricey $1,500 USD at retailers including Bloomingdales.

    ^ Definitely dude. That’s what America is about. That said, the jacket isn’t for me.

    lol at the kanye west comment. I get what you’re saying but i dont think that you should sweat it.

    “Style of your own”? – you’ve already lost that battle cause you’re on a streetwear blog! Fear not, chances are that unless you have a big old busted jaw you wont look anything like him at all…If you like something, make it yours…

    It is a nice jacket. But I have to say. If I saw someone wearing this, I would think that they were doing a “Kanye West” thing. Which would then lead me to believe that they have no style of their own.
