The Varsity Jacket is much more than a piece of outerwear. It symbolizes transition and evolution from one stage of life to the next. We like to think of Dehen's Varsity jacket as the final style transition into true adulthood. Every guy should own one of these and wear it until the day they cross the rainbow bridge. We decided we weren't done with this silhouette just yet, and decided to revisit it for this year's collaboration.
This time, we wanted something truly different. It's our first time playing with black leather in this style, and we found ourselves falling in love with its camel pairing. These colors look super rich together and elevate this piece from a sporting jacket to a car coat. It's both super sleek and has the potential to pair with streetwear as you can see from the photos.
The interior is one we feel matched perfectly with that black ribbing. We always opt for a quilted liner as it's the warmest and most visually striking to us. It's sleek and sexy and all the things we want the interior of a jacket to be.
We can't forget the beautiful collaboration tag featured just below the inner, leather welt pocket. In this round, we decided specifically to go with a satin finish patch to mimic the interiors of the jacket with just a little pop of color for the Gargoyle. This is the first thing we designed with the new Dant branding in hand.
It's a limited, exclusive run for Dant as part of the "Black & Tan" collection. 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 large in the pictures. He can wear a medium if he so chooses, but for a roomier look he always goes with a large. We would recommend sticking with your true size on this jacket unless you want a boxy fit. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs with a 40" chest.
