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.

By 1971, America was drawing down its presence in Vietnam, but the work of protecting South Vietnamese forces continued. USS Enterprise (CVAN-65) deployed to the Western Pacific as part of Task Force 77, flying missions in support of South Vietnamese ground forces under President Nixon's Vietnamization policy. The 1971-72 cruise saw Enterprise threading the narrow space between military mission and political reality — doing the job with skill and commitment even as the exit strategy took shape around them. The men who served on this cruise represent the quiet professionalism that kept the Navy's reputation intact through a difficult chapter of American history.
