Chenille

Chenille is the fuzzy, textured embroidery technique used on classic varsity/letterman jackets. The tufted yarn creates a plush, dimensional surface that's been a symbol of American prep culture since the 1950s — now reimagined in modern streetwear silhouettes.

01

What is Chenille?

Chenille embroidery uses tufted yarn to create a fuzzy, raised surface on fabric. The technique was originally used for varsity letters on American college jackets. The soft, plush texture creates incredible visual and tactile contrast against smooth wool or cotton base fabrics.
02

The Varsity Jacket Heritage

Varsity jackets with chenille lettering have been a cultural icon since the 1950s. They represent achievement, belonging, and premium craftsmanship. In streetwear, brands like Off-White, Louis Vuitton, and Supreme have elevated the varsity jacket into a luxury statement piece — often retailing above $1000.
