Varsity vs Bomber: What Is the Difference?
A varsity jacket (letterman jacket) has a wool or felt body, contrast sleeves (traditionally leather), striped rib trims and snap buttons. It is built to carry chenille letters and patches. A bomber jacket is lighter, usually in satin, nylon or felt, with a zip front and plain or striped ribbing. Many brands now sell a “felt bomber” that sits between the two: varsity-style patches on a zip bomber body.
Materials Compared
| Material | Look and feel | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Wool body + leather sleeves | Classic, heavy, premium | Highest cost; best for school and team jackets |
| Wool body + faux-leather sleeves | Same look, lower price | Popular for streetwear brands and vegan ranges |
| Felt (wool blend) | Lighter, smooth surface | Takes chenille and embroidery well; good value |
| Satin | Shiny, retro “tour jacket” look | Light; ideal for crews, bands and events |
| Nylon | Flight-jacket look, water resistant | Good for outdoor and workwear-style bombers |
Patches and Lettering
- Chenille patches: the fluffy, raised varsity look. Best for letters, mascots and numbers.
- Embroidered patches: fine detail for logos and small text.
- Chenille + embroidery combined: chenille fill with an embroidered outline for crisp edges.
- Direct back embroidery: large script or arc text across the shoulders.
- Name and year: individual names, graduation years or player numbers on the chest or sleeve.
We can also supply loose custom patches if you want to add them yourself. For flat logos on other garments see embroidery vs screen printing vs sublimation.
