The blue Holloway label reads “Holloway – Original College Jacket – Made in U.S.A. – WPL 11783.” The Original College Jacket was Holloway’s traditional heavyweight varsity/letterman-style jacket line. Period references document this style of USA-made Holloway jacket with wool-blend construction, metal snaps, leather trim and substantial lining.

Estimated to date from approximately the late 1980s through 1990s, based on the period Holloway label, USA manufacture and construction. Exact year is unknown.

Excellent vintage pre-owned condition overall. The navy exterior presents exceptionally well for its age. Michigan embroidery remains bright, dense and crisp. Rib-knit trim retains strong color and shape. Quilted interior is very clean. Metal snaps remain intact. Maize leather pocket trim shows light natural age/wrinkling. Please review all photographs closely for exact condition.

Important: The original fiber-content tag is not present, so the exterior is described as having a wool/wool-blend feel rather than claiming a specific wool percentage. No official University of Michigan licensing tag is present, so no claim of official university licensing is being made.

A striking piece of vintage Made-in-USA Holloway collegiate outerwear with classic Michigan colors, old-school varsity construction and an exceptionally clean minimalist embroidered design.
