A Guide to Leather Jackets

Within Canada, most engineering schools have their own Engineering jackets; all in various colours and styles. The University of Toronto Engineering Jacket has gone through several renditions over many decades, including a corduroy style! For the foreseeable future, our Engineering jackets are a black leather, available in either a bomber style fit or a tailored fit! You can customize your jacket with unique designs, patches and other options to add your own style!

This guide is meant to be a summary of what you need to know about customizing your own jacket, and to give you an idea for what you want to put on yours!
