Does anyone have experience with this piece? Or seen any photos of it being worn?

Has anyone purchased a Kapital 40s varsity jacket? I purchased one from Mercari JP, and I've noticed some issues with the felted patches. Are loose threads/patchy felting an issue anyone has had before?

Apologies, I purchased the 40s Wool varsity jacket with Bone patches on the front face and sleeves. I noticed some loose threads peeking from under the patches and the "K" insignia on the front patch seemed to be a little inconsistently felted. Just wondering if anyone else had experience with these.

I have no experience with other varsity jackets but I would expect Kapital anything to be a little raggedy, I think. Are there other produot shots where the patches look pristine?

Kapital's webshop.

Don't look quite as patchy as the one I have.

I know a couple of folks have been on the lookout for the Drunken Stripe pieces this season. I restocked the fleece top twice! fun to see what the public gravitates towards. I've still got just a couple of units left of the fleeces so wanted to plug.

Be in touch if you need anything at all.
