How Much Do Custom Letterman Jackets Cost in Bulk?
If you're ordering custom letterman jackets for your school, team, or brand, one of the first questions you'll ask is: how much is this going to cost?
The short answer is: it depends on several factors. But we're going to break it down so you know exactly what to expect before you send a single email.
What's the Average Cost of a Custom Letterman Jacket?
For a bulk order, here's what you can typically expect:
- 25 pieces: Starts around $190 per jacket
- 50 pieces: Around $180 per jacket
- 100 pieces: Around $170 per jacket
- 250+ pieces: Custom pricing — contact us for a quote
- Single sample jacket: $225 (includes one fully customized jacket and your logo vector files)
These prices include DDP shipping — meaning shipping, customs, and taxes are all included. What we quote is what you pay.
What Affects the Price of a Letterman Jacket?
Several factors determine the final cost of your jackets. Here's what to know.
1. Materials
The body and sleeve materials have the biggest impact on price.
- Wool body with synthetic leather sleeves: Lower end of the price range
- Wool body with genuine cowhide leather sleeves: Higher end
- Cotton twill or satin: Varies based on quality and weight
We use 24oz and 32oz Melton wool for the body, and genuine cowhide or premium vinyl for sleeves.
2. Customization Level
The more customization, the higher the cost.
- Chenille patches: Add to the price per jacket
- Direct embroidery: Adds to the price per jacket
- Names and numbers: Adds to the price per jacket
- Custom back artwork: Adds to the price per jacket
3. Order Quantity
The more you order, the lower the per-jacket price. This is because we spread the setup costs across a larger run. A 25-piece order costs more per jacket than a 250-piece order.
4. Sleeve Materials
- Synthetic leather sleeves: More affordable
- Genuine leather sleeves: More expensive
For example, a 25-piece order with synthetic leather sleeves starts at $190 per jacket. The same order with genuine leather sleeves starts at $192 per jacket.
5. Shipping Destination
All our prices are DDP — Delivered Duty Paid. That means shipping, customs, and taxes are included in the quote. No hidden fees, no surprises at the door.
How Much Does a Sample Cost?
