Varsity / Cruise Jackets
Cruise jacket sizing runs true to standard letterman fits. Check the size chart photo in each jacket listing for exact measurements.
How to measure: lay a shirt that fits you well on a flat surface. Measure across the chest from armpit to armpit (chest width) and from the highest point of the shoulder to the bottom hem (length), then compare to the chart.

Operation Desert Shield was the largest deployment of American military power since Vietnam. In August 1990, following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the United States led a massive coalition buildup in Saudi Arabia — hundreds of thousands of troops standing watch across the desert while the world watched. Navy warships enforced the blockade, carrier air wings flew combat air patrols day and night, and every Sailor stood ready. Desert Shield was the quiet before the storm, and the Sailors who deployed kept the peace and the pressure on. This sweatshirt honors their service.
