We’ve been on the lookout for a burgundy slim fit (but not too skinny) varsity for months now and the results have been conclusive; this product doesn’t exist. While we wait for the varsity gods to bless us, we have to make do with this Mihara Yasuhiro jacket.

It’s not too shabby – shawl collar, leather arms and all that jazz. It uses deer skin, wool, nylon and even throws a little cashmere in the mix, just in case you don’t feel luxurious enough when your rocking it. You can’t order this online, so you’ll have to brush up on your Japanese and email the folks at Mindtrive to get hold of this. Rosetta Stone is your friend. (Mindtrive)

Take a leap to see the back of the grey varsity and the all black version.

While check prints are slowly, slowly dying out, there’s still a few good check print tops to be found. Despite the fact that this is labelled as a shirt/jacket, it’s basically a very English version of a varsity jacket. And it’s all the better for it. This won’t be to everyones tastes, but what is? All we know is that is the most original version of a varsity we’ve seen in a long time. Get it from Farfetch.

After seeing that killer JW x CdG Varsity Jacket a while back and seeing how our friends at R29 are on it as well today, we’re featuring out current favorite letterman’s jacket from Washington state’s Skookum. Bomb killer and made of 100% virgin wool, this letterman stands out with it’s grey/black/red colorway. Get it now from Hymns.

The classic Varsity Jacket is still today one of the best multi-season jackets out there. These days the issue usually is, that brands try to do too much with it, adding patches, embroideries and other things to it.

Japanese brand Uniform Experiment did it right, kept the jacket simple and concentrated on getting the materials right. The outcome is a Melton wool body and premium leather sleeves, with minimal logo embroideries that come tonal. They adjusted the fit of the jacket and made it slightly slimmer than the original. The jacket comes in two colorways and is now available at Ark.

We will not show you the complete collection here, just a jacket that is not leaving ourheads ever since we saw it a couple of months ago. And since Fall collections are getting into stores soon, it is certainly not too early to start thinking about this.

Junya Watanabe always manages to fuse styles, get inspired by classics and re-interpritate them, thus this Blazer x Varsity Jacket from his upcoming collection perfectly illustrates those skills. A Blazer body with Varsity Jacket pockets and sleeves. Just amazing! (Pic via Style.com)

Living Mutants we introduced to you a little white ago, when they released a leather down jacket. The brand has a strive to only work with the best materials and people out there and present something unseen from Germany.

That is also no different with their latest pieces – the Living Mutants Force Team Model #1 Varsity Jacket. The premium reversible wool/leather varsity jacket comes in 100% heavyweight premium combed Merino Wool and sleeves made out of premium French matted cow nappa leather. The lining is a 100% cotton with camo screen print and also cuffs and collar come in 100% cotton. You can trust us when we tell you that this kind of quality you can maybe find on a Japanese brand, but nowhere else in the the market where Living Mutants wants to have an impact. The artwork of the jacket has been done by Studioanti & R .Weinberg. The jacket comes nicely wrapped in a suit bag.

We are very impressed by brands such as Garbstore and Living Mutants, which are completely different from one another, but both set the standards very high and are both a new generation of European brands.

Expect a full line to come from Living Mutants soon. Until then you should already be excited about these special pieces. The varsity jacket is limited to 100 pieces and is now exclusively available through Am Firmament.

We have a series of exclusive pictures of the jacket that you can check out after the jump.

It seems like Surrender is opening up a little lately, as we see it pop up in some stores now. Among the first to also offer it online is DPMHI. They offer a range of t-shirts, hoodies, crewneck sweaters and also the latest Surrender Varsity Jacket in their online store.

For all those Surrender fans out there, that are not based in Singapore, here is you chance to get your hands on the line. After the jump more pictures of the current collection.
