Comme des Garçons esteemed designer Junya Watanabe has released his collection of American college-style Varsity Jackets for the Autumn-Winter 2011 collection. The leather varsity jacket is manufactured from Johnsons leather — a San Francisco company that supplies leather workwear to the US military and police force — and separates itself from the crowd via its 100% pattern jacquard wool body. The jacket also features tipping detail through collar and cuffs. With full cotton sateen lining, leather trimmed chest pocket with eye zip pull and two front handwarmer pockets with contrast piping as well as a covered placket with pop-stud closure, the jacket is another great addition to the AW 2011 collection. Act fast because the jackets are extremely limited and only available through End Clothing, even at a cost of $1,700 (£1,079.00).
