" I&amp;#039;ll be the first to admit: I can be somewhat fastidious about the details. I have, for instance, taken steam, sweat, and, quite nearly, tears to a sport coat&amp;#039;s left lapel, which sat just a bit differently than the right, all in an attempt to press into congruency with its mate. So, yes: I am, more often than not, a fan of symmetry. But a new riff on the classic varsity jacket by Toronto-based Needs/Wants has me rethinking my position. The brand&amp;#039;s heritage varsity ($325) features the a melton wool body, ribbed hems, collar, and cuffs \u2014 all the trappings of your standard-issue letterman. Where it breaks from the mold, though, is the sleeves. Only the left arm is made from contrasting leather as you&amp;#039;d expect; the right is rendered in tone-on-tone wool. The result is a little bit off-kilter, yes, but also surprisingly stylish, and it&amp;#039;s a great way to break away from the varsity jacket-wearing pack, if you&amp;#039;re so inclined. If that&amp;#039;s not different enough for you, Needs/Wants also offers a &amp;quot;varsity peacoat,&amp;quot; an elongated take on the style with an open hem and a body that hits mid-thigh. Like the heritage varsity, it features just one leather sleeve. And like everything from Needs/Wants, it&amp;#039;s made right in the company&amp;#039;s hometown of Toronto. Thanks, Canada.
