What is the minimum order quantity for custom varsity jackets?

Our standard minimum is 25 units per design. Orders below 25 are reviewed case-by-case — contact our team at concierge@alphajacketsonline.com to discuss.

How fast can you produce a bulk order of 100–500 jackets?

Orders up to 500 units ship in 14–21 business days after artwork sign-off. Larger 500–2,000 unit runs typically run 28–35 business days.

Do you provide a free design mockup before we commit?

Yes. Our 14-person in-house design team delivers free, unlimited mockups within 24 hours and revises them until you sign off — at no charge and with no setup fees.

What materials do you use — and how is this different from sublimated jackets?

We build with genuine wool melton, real cowhide leather sleeves, and hand-cranked chenille letter patches. We do not substitute sublimated prints for chenille or leather — the tiers are distinct crafts.

Who manages my order from start to finish?

Every order is assigned one of our nine dedicated account managers, who handles your project from initial sketch through production, quality check, and delivery — a single point of contact end to end.

A note on craft

Wool, leather, chenille.
Not sublimation.

The phrase "custom jacket" has been quietly widened to include digitally printed polyester — fast, cheap, and absolutely not what you've been picturing. We don't work that way. Every Alpha jacket is cut from 24-oz wool melton, finished with full-grain cowhide sleeves, and lettered in hand-cranked chenille thread. The snap is hand-set. The cuff is ribbed, never printed. The difference shows up the moment a player puts it on, and again fourteen seasons later when it still fits.

— The Alpha Atelier, since 2008

Macro detail of cream wool melton fabric, showing the weave and nap — 01
24-oz Wool Melton

Sourced from heritage mills, cut and pressed in-house. Heavy enough to drape, soft enough to break in.

Detail of full-grain cowhide leather sleeve showing natural grain — 02
Cowhide Sleeves

Full-grain, never corrected. Marks and tone variation are kept — they age into the jacket.

Hand-cranked chenille letter patch in navy and cream — 03
Chenille Letters

Hand-cranked, never sublimated. Each letter is built from twisted yarn and stitched on by hand.

Three finished varsity jackets hanging on a brass rail in soft studio light — 04
The Finished Piece

Three recent commissions from our Spring 2025 book — schools, an NFL alumni capsule, a streetwear drop.

02
Single Account Manager

One human, one inbox, one phone number. From material selection through delivery, your manager owns the order end-to-end.
03
14–21 Day Production

Up to 500 units ships in 14–21 business days. 500–2,000 units in 28–35. 98.4% on-time delivery over the last 24 months.
04
Rematch-or-Refund

If a single piece falls short of the sign-off proof, we remake it or refund it — your call. 93% of clients reorder within 18 months.

"I've ordered letters for three different programs now. The mockup turnaround is honestly faster than my in-house designer, the wool still looks new after two seasons, and the chenille doesn't fuzz. Nothing else is even close."
