It All Starts with the Fabric
When Jasmine picked up her senior jacket for the first time, she couldn’t stop smiling. It was soft, warm, and felt like it was made just for her. That’s what the right fabric does—it makes the jacket feel like more than just outerwear. It becomes a memory, a badge of pride, and something worth keeping long after graduation.
At Jacket Authority, we believe every school jacket should feel that special. And it all starts with choosing the right material.
Wool: The Time-Tested Classic
Wool has been the heart of varsity jackets for decades. It’s warm, durable, and holds embroidery and patches beautifully. Wool gives off that traditional school pride feel—it’s the one you see in yearbooks and alumni photos.
If you want something timeless that screams “senior class” or “varsity athlete,” wool is hard to beat.
Real Leather Sleeves: Built to Impress
Add genuine leather sleeves to a wool body and you’ve got a jacket that turns heads. Leather is smooth, sleek, and long-lasting. Over time, it develops a unique look as it ages—something students love.
These jackets aren’t just worn—they’re treasured. Perfect for milestone moments, all-star athletes, or high-achieving graduates.
Faux Leather: Practical with Style
Want the leather look without the price tag? Faux leather delivers. It’s lightweight, weather-resistant, and easy to maintain. It also looks fantastic paired with wool or cotton.
This is a great option for schools working with larger orders or tighter budgets, without sacrificing that polished finish.
Cotton & Cotton Blends: Casual and Comfortable
Cotton is a top pick for lighter, more relaxed styles—especially zip-up or hoodie-style school jackets. It’s breathable, soft, and feels great all year round. Cotton blends also make it easy to print or embroider logos and names.
If your jacket is meant to be worn every day, cotton might be the coziest route.
Polyester: Built for Performance
For teams and active groups, polyester gets the job done. It holds its shape, resists wrinkles, and stays looking sharp even after a full school day. Plus, it’s great for printing designs and logos in bold, lasting color.
It’s the go-to choice for travel jackets, warm-ups, and school events.
Fleece: The Warmth Everyone Wants
Ask any student what makes a jacket their favorite, and “comfort” is usually at the top of the list. Fleece brings that warm, cozy feeling students love—especially during colder seasons.
Whether it’s used as a lining or as the main fabric, fleece adds unbeatable softness without the bulk.
