Full Zip Varsity Sweater – Classic Sport Refinement and Textured All-Day Comfort

Description

Infuse your cool-weather wardrobe with authentic collegiate spirit and vintage athletic heritage. The Full Zip Varsity Sweater by U.S. Polo Assn. bridges the gap between a casual letterman jacket and a refined, fine-gauge knit cardigan. Spun from an ultra-soft, breathable sweater knit, this long-sleeve zip-front layer delivers cozy thermal comfort with a smooth, non-bulky drape. Highlighted by classic colorblocked navy sleeves against a heathered gray body, an embroidered American flag badge on the right chest, crossed polo mallets with a heritage crest on the left chest, a full-length metallic front zip, and striped varsity ribbing at the stand baseball collar, cuffs, and hem, it brings quintessential Ivy League polish to your everyday rotation.

Why You Should Buy

The Full Zip Varsity Sweater is the definitive choice for anyone seeking a sporty, high-end upgrade to basic fleece zip-ups or heavy wool letterman jackets.

Its breathable thermal warmth, sporty baseball collar, and flexible knit make it an ideal option for stadium games, weekend travel, casual dining, or cool-weather commutes.
