Which sleeve material should you choose?

Choose Classic Wool & PU Leather if you prefer synthetic leather sleeves with a wool body. PU is a faux leather option. Choose Classic Wool & Genuine Leather if you specifically want real leather sleeves and pocket trim.

Review the current price on each product page before choosing. Compare the same size and your preferred colour combination, and use the adult size chart to check measurements.

Is a wool and PU varsity jacket vegan?

The sleeves are synthetic, but the body contains wool. A wool-and-PU jacket should not be described as a fully vegan jacket.

Does genuine leather mean full-grain leather?

The current G Jackets listing identifies the sleeves as genuine leather. It does not specify the leather grade or animal source. If you need a particular leather grade or animal source, contact G Jackets before ordering.

How should you care for your jacket?

Follow the care label supplied with your jacket. A cleaning method for synthetic sleeves may not suit the wool body, lining or trim. Confirm the appropriate method before cleaning the complete jacket.
