John Varvatos is a brand that brilliantly "unites old-world craftsmanship and refined tailoring with modern innovations in textiles and a rock 'n' roll sensibility." Launched in 2000, the label offers a full line of casual wear, shoes and accessories for men—plus luxury skin care and fragrances. John Varvatos Star USA, a younger, edgier collection, was launched in 2006.
I love this jacket. It's fitted, but not confining (I wear a medium). The lining is a different type of denim which stretches, so the jacket has a very soft feel. The zipper at the opening of the sleeve is a nice, edgy and stylish touch.

Tight fit
I’m 6’1” 205, athletic build. Sleeve length is absolutely perfect but the rest is too tight and far too short for a size large. Going to buy the XL. Fabric and color are phenomenal.

Very nice jacket!
I just received this jacket and I love it. Material is very soft and made of high quality. Sleeves are a little long in length for me but not bad. I am 5' 10" and 203 lbs. and normally wear XL in John Vavratos Star USA and got this jacket in XL as well so it is True to size for me. As for the color, this jacket is more like very light olive-green color than grey color like in the photos with model. I was excepting more like grey color that the model is wearing in the photos, but I still like the color and the jacket. It is very worth it!

Stylish jacket with long sleeves
Stylish jacket, warmer than it looks. But we warned the sleeves are very long. It is made for a 5'9"+ man. If you're shorter you will need to shorten the sleeves. I had to shorten them 3" and I'm 5'6".

Nicely unique early winter jacket
I was looking for a track jacket as the one I have was very old and showing lots of wear. I actually tried this on at a different store, but for the price, couldn't justify it. I saw Nordstrom had it at 25% off, so I decided to get, in the black color. I am a small female; 5'4", 120, with slim waist and broad shoulders. Wearing a size 4 or small in most women's gear. This in size small, surprised me at how small it is. It's very fitted but not tight , and very flattering on my form. It's not something I would wear for athletics, it's kinda heavy, but casual outings in the mid fall, early winter it will be nice. I think there is enough give in the material that you could layer it with at least a sweater or light sweatshirt and of course T's or other close fitting tops. The only thing I will say is that yes, the sleeves are quite long- but I'm not usually fussy about that. These are long enough that I noticed. If it bugs me enough I'll have them shortened. The double zip on the body seems a little stiff, and doesn't slide real nice, but hopefully that will get better with use. That's where these double zip jackets usually fail. Anyway, overall happy with this unique jacket that reminds me of the best rock vocalist of all time- Chris Cornell; who used to model for Varvatos.

Runs small
Very cool jacket and substantial feeling, great fabric. I purchased this for my son’s birthday. We had to return it because it runs small. I ordered a large and it fit him like a medium.
