Varsity Style
Custom varsity jackets, varsity hoodies, teamwear tops and club shirts for university communities, alumni groups, college societies and student organizations: five current pieces, all printed as flat panels before assembly, so a chest crest, a sleeve stripe and a back number are dyed into the fabric instead of stitched on as a patch that peels at the corner.
What makes a varsity piece look right? The proportions and the trims: a ribbed collar, cuffs and hem in a contrast color, a two-tone body with the sleeve in the second color, and lettering that sits square across the chest. Because each panel is printed flat, the stripe on the sleeve meets the shoulder seam where the artwork puts it, and a reorder needs confirmation against the approved artwork, fabric and sample.
Who orders here? A student society ordering a varsity club jacket for new members each term, an alumni group ordering a commemorative hoodie, a campus sports club ordering a varsity team shirt with names on the back, a school ordering letterman-style tops for a graduating class. Youth and adult sizes, from 5 pieces per design and color, under the club’s own label, with woven labels and hang tags as private label options.
A lined bomber cut is in the unisex bomber jacket, the hoodie blocks in full print hoodies, retro jerseys in mesh jerseys, and the wider retro streetwear range carries the same throwback styling. Zip-front layers for the sideline sit in full-zip and half-zip jackets. Akilex has manufactured since 2008 and inspects every run to AQL 2.5.
