Alexander Wang collarless letterman jacket on sale

I must admit, Alexander Wang is not an obvious choice for me for online shopping, but when I clicked on an email link and saw this heavyweight cotton collarless letterman jacket, I had to stop what I was doing.

What interested me? Mainly the color (currant) and cut (regular loose fit but with ribbed cuffs and waistband). I like how sporty truly meets preppy in this piece (a worn-out term in the industry) via the removal of the collar and the addition of the breast pocket. And the usual metal snap closure, but on fleece!

From $154 now down to $93, available on Alexander Wang
