The Vanson CUB JACKET is a varsity-style jacket in wax cotton with self-edge knit cuffs and waistband. This mens jacket is a lightweight textile, all wax cotton, that looks great, is easy to wear, and is incredibly comfortable as you wander the metro avenues.

The self-edge knit waistband and cuffs use a single ply, so they are not folded, heavy or bulky. The result is a light and elegant elasticity that enhances the fit and comfort of the jacket. Self-edge waistbands are made one at a time, by hand in Minnesota.  Knitted flat on a slow machine, watched over by an experienced operator, controlled by punch-card type paper tapes, each piece is a little different from the next one. In contrast, modern knitting is done on ultra-fast circular, robotic machines which can spit out so many thousands of parts that the completed knit is sold by the pound.

The waxed cotton body and the cotton plaid lining allow the jacket to breathe, so it will keep you from getting sweaty or clammy. We all know how a typical modern textile jacket will get damp on the inside from your natural perspiration and can become uncomfortably cold. The materials used in the Vanson CUB JACKET will not get damp and then cold because they breathe. At the same time, the waxed cotton is water-resistant, virtually impervious to the elements. These are some of the great advantages of waxed cotton, along with the cut and construction we have incorporated into the Vanson CUB JACKET.

Lightweight, easy to wear, water-resistant, breathable, year-round comfort brought forward from the past with superior materials and details in a modern jacket – another timeless Vanson classic.
