We all know you weren’t athletic or socially competent enough to get a letter jacket in high school (except those homeschool kids whose moms made cringe varsity jackets with a letter in “being my bestest boy”).
Now it’s your chance to become a real cool dude, a bad dude, the jock of all jocks: Jed Eckert. It’s 1984, and you’re a hick-adjacent high-schooler leading the Wolverines through the Colorado Rockies, fighting off Soviet subhumans with nothing but grit, an AK, and a Calumet High varsity jacket. Your eyes see red, you’re wearing Hoppe’s No. 9 cologne, and you’re slinging x39 brass into the next county.
Say hello to the Red Dawn Calumet High Letterman Jacket—straight from the cult classic where Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen made guerrilla warfare look like a high school pep rally (we have shared fantasies, dear reader).

Why Red Dawn?
Red Dawn (1984) is the ultimate ‘80s action flick. Directed by John Milius, it follows a band of Colorado teens—the Wolverines—who form a guerrilla resistance after Soviets, Cubans, and Nicaraguans invade the U.S. Swayze’s Jed Eckert rocks this varsity jacket while leading ambushes, stealing gear, and turning Calumet High into a symbol of defiance. This jacket’s your ticket to that legacy—perfect for reenacting the drive-in scene, being subtly autistic, and getting funny looks from jerky vendors at the gun show.
Sizing
Our letterman jacket follows standard US sizing, with a fit true to size. We recommend going with your regular t-shirt sizing if you plan on wearing the jacket with thin layers like a t-shirt underneath. For heavier layers underneath such as a hoodie or fleece, we would recommend going one size up.
Care Instructions
Handwash or Machine Wash on Delicates, Cold Wash Settings. No Bleach. Hang Dry.
