Seller Description
■ ABOUT THE BRAND
Founded in New York in 1892, DeLONG is a historic American sportswear giant. Renowned primarily for its premium Varsity Jackets (Letterman Jackets), the brand spent over a century crafting authentic, custom team-ordered outerwear for high schools and colleges rather than generic mass-market apparel.
■ ITEM DETAILS
An incredible, historically rich 1970s (70s) DeLONG varsity jacket.
Crafted with a heavy-duty, thick melton wool body in deep purple and premium split-leather sleeves. This is a fully custom-ordered time capsule piece reflecting authentic 70s American school sports culture.
The chest features the original "NR" letterman patch, the numbering "00", and an individual name patch near the hem. The back showcases impressive custom chain-stitch patches for "ROYALTON - CROSS COUNTRY / WRESTLING / TRACK", proving the original student athlete competed in multiple sports—a highly unique detail that tells a genuine story.

■ VINTAGE VALUE
Unlike modern fashion reproductions, 70s DeLONG varsity jackets are actual records of sports history. The combination of thick 70s wool, heavily detailed genuine leather sleeves, a highly desirable oversized XL fit, and the fascinating combination of cross-country, wrestling, and track patches makes this an absolute grail for Americana collectors.
