How do I care for my Cal Bears letterman jacket?

Is this jacket suitable for California weather?

Yes! Our Cal Bears varsity jacket is perfect for Berkeley's mild climate. The satin option is particularly well-suited for California's temperate weather. The wool/leather option provides warmth for cooler Bay Area evenings and fog. Both options work great for game days and campus wear year-round.

Absolutely! Adding your graduation year is one of our most popular customization options. Whether you're a current student or proud alumnus, we can embroider your class year (e.g., '24, '25, '26) on the sleeve, chest, or back of your University of California Berkeley jacket.
