Founded by the late Virgil Abloh in 2012, Off-White built its identity on reworking streetwear codes through graphic language, industrial references and high-fashion construction. This varsity jacket combines a wool body with leather sleeves, echoing a classic silhouette originally created for Ivy League athletes in the 19th century, where wool-and-leather construction symbolised achievement and team identity before later evolving into a broader youth and streetwear icon.
