PLAID UNISEX VARSITY JACKET - MONTAUK PLAID
The verdict
Fit
Varsity cuts run relaxed and boxy, typical for the silhouette. Expect a cropped body with roomy shoulders; size up slightly if layering.
Quality
At this price, the brand delivers construction and materials consistent with its contemporary sportswear line. Plaid versions often use heavier suiting fabrics, warranting durability if stored dry.
Price check
USD 875 is premium-tier pricing. You are paying for the Aviator Nation label and archive pattern more than fabric weight or finishing tech.
Best for
Shoppers who dress intentionally around vintage Americana and can carry a high-visibility piece as a layering anchor.
Care
Wool or wool-blend plaids require dry cleaning or delicate hand wash; check tag for fiber before water washing.

What owners report about Aviator Nation jackets & outerwear
Coverage of Aviator Nation's outerwear centers on its tri-blend fleece pieces — hoodies, half-zips and zip jackets. Owners consistently describe the fleece as very soft and comfortable, hand-sewn in the brand's Los Angeles factory, and some report pieces holding up through months of frequent wear. Recurring complaints are about care and quality control: reviewers report dye bleeding in the wash, shrinkage, fabric that stains easily, defects on arrival, and a frustrating exchange policy — problems buyers find hard to accept at the price. Verdicts split between repeat purchasers who call the pieces worth the cost and owners who feel they paid for the name.
- Strengths
- Softness, comfort and the distinctive made-in-LA stitching are what owners praise most and what drives repeat purchases.
- Watch out for
- Dye bleed, shrinkage and easy staining in the wash are the most repeated failures, compounded by high prices and a strict exchange policy.
- Sizing
- Sizing is unisex; blogger fit reviews call the fleece true to size, with petite buyers staying at the smallest end of the XS-XXL range rather than sizing down further.
