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.

The Vietnam combat deployments were behind you by 1974 — but USS America (CVA-66) still deployed, and the families still waited. The Paris Peace Accords hadn't ended the Navy's forward presence; if anything, it reinforced just how much the world depended on ships like America being out there. After years of wartime deployments, this one came with a measure of relief — but the separation was real, and the strength it took to hold things together at home was the same as always. This cruise shirt honors the families of CVA-66 through peace and war alike — the steady hearts that never wavered.
