vintage 1990s Adidas Basketball wool and leather varsity jacket featuring striking orange nappa leather sleeves and a classic heavyweight black wool body. Lovely boxy fit in an extra large size! I’m 6.2 large broad build and it fits me slightly oversized and I can fit a large hoody under it. My girlfriend also wears it oversized and she significantly smaller than me. It’s a lovely piece and I’m sad to see it go! But someone should give it another life as in probably too old for it now!
Sizes (photographed approximately) 29inch top to bottom. 25inch chest area. 28inch from around the shoulder area to end of sleeve.
From Google lens it says it genuine and authentic as it has all the hall marks of a genuine item!

It does have wear and tear on the leather sleeves (including fading, spotting, scratches and a few small holes) which I have tried to photograph the majority of. But please message and I can show more but it never bothered me as it’s all quite small and unnoticeable! I think it adds to the vintage of the piece!
