Made for Fince Up
A varsity jacket in five colorways, plus matching tees and shorts, for a US streetwear label.
Real talk, finding a manufacturer you can actually trust ain't easy. Sharknits came through for me heavy. I had a vision for my brand, and they didn't just get it, they executed it clean. The quality was solid, turnaround was quick, and they kept me in the loop the whole way. I ain't switching up, they're locked in as my go-to for every drop now.

Is a varsity jacket the same as a letterman jacket?
Yes. It is the same jacket. The name letterman comes from the school letter sewn on the chest. Tell us which look you want and we will match it.
What is the minimum order for custom varsity jackets?
Usually 25 pieces per style and color. You can mix sizes within that number. Tell us what you need and we will confirm.
Can you make the sleeves in leather?
Yes. The Fince Up jackets on this page have leather sleeves. Wool sleeves are an option too.
Can you add chenille letters, patches and names?
Yes. We make chenille letters and crests, appliqué letters, embroidered patches and names, and we place them where you want them: on the chest, the sleeves or the back.
When should I order jackets for winter?
Start early. Plan about 4 months from your first sample to delivery if you need several sample rounds. For jackets you want to sell in winter, start your sample in the summer.
Do I need a tech pack?
No. Send a sketch or a photo of a jacket you like. We make the tech pack and the pattern for you.
