The Contraband Collegiate Letterman is a study in controlled contrast, where tailored authority meets athletic heritage. Constructed through couture upcycling, this piece fuses a classic varsity foundation with refined blazer elements, creating a jacket that carries both polish and practicality.
A sculpted padded shoulder sharpens the silhouette, while a structured peplum detail at the hem introduces architectural shape and quiet movement. Traditional button closures reference collegiate uniform codes, balanced by fully functional pockets designed for real wear. Ribbed knit at the collar and cuffs grounds the jacket in its varsity origins, offering comfort, warmth, and ease.
Wool construction provides natural insulation, making the piece warm without bulk. The jacket wears effortlessly open, allowing the layered construction and tailored lines to reveal themselves with intention. Each version is individually upcycled, resulting in subtle variations that honor the integrity of the original garments.
This is elevated uniform dressing.
Designed to move between environments without permission.
