Constructed with a heavyweight wool body and contrasting golden yellow leather shoulder panels, the jacket also features striped ribbed cuffs and waistband in matching school colors. The sleeves include a varsity star patch and “VC” lettering, giving the jacket strong visual character from every angle.

The back is the true showpiece, showcasing oversized script lettering spelling West Hempstead, executed in traditional varsity chain-stitch embroidery. Interior tag reads Huntley’s – Tailored by Landmass, a label often associated with mid-century school athletic garments.
