Let me start by saying, this jacket is a head-turner. The moment I slipped into the Mount Helicon Two-Tone Leather Varsity Jacket, I could feel the premium quality. The combination of 100% pure wool and thick cowhide leather gives it a sturdy yet comfortable feel.
The design is classic with a modern twist. The black-on-black color scheme is versatile enough to pair with almost anything in my wardrobe. I've worn it to casual outings, football games, and even semi-formal events – it never fails to impress.
One of my favorite features is the quilted lining. It provides exceptional warmth without making the jacket bulky. The inside pocket is surprisingly spacious – perfect for storing my phone and wallet securely.
However, I did notice some minor threading issues around the cuffs after a few weeks of wear. While not a deal-breaker, it's something to keep an eye on. Also, pay close attention to the sizing chart – I found it runs slightly snug, so consider sizing up if you prefer a looser fit.
Despite these small drawbacks, this jacket has become my go-to outerwear for winter. The quality-to-price ratio is excellent, and it's held up well through daily use. Just be prepared for potential shipping delays if you're ordering last-minute!
