A Being a DIK jacket is one of the custom varsity jackets that brings the black and orange frat design from the game into real life. At Clothoo it starts as a real school jacket pattern, then you choose colors, materials, letters, and notes to match your own idea.
What Is a Being a DIK Jacket?
Being a DIK is a college story game set at Burgmeister & Royce. The main character reaches campus, meets new people, and gets pulled toward Delta Iota Kappa, the DIK fraternity. Full members wear a bold black and orange letterman jacket to show they belong.
When players talk about a Being a DIK jacket, they mean a real jacket based on that look. It usually has a black body, orange sleeves, striped rib knit, and stacked letters on the chest. Fans on Reddit and other places share photos of their jackets, many of them made through Clothoo.
Our version is built on the same pattern we use for school and team jackets in the United States. It is a serious outerwear piece first, and a fan nod second.
How the DIK-Style Jacket Looks and Feels
On screen, the frat jacket looks like something you would see at a real college. In real life it feels the same. Most people just see a sharp school jacket; only fans catch the deeper meaning.
Popular color and material choices
The most common build uses a black Melton wool body with orange Melton wool sleeves. This all-wool version is heavy and warm. The black body makes white letters pop. The orange sleeves and stripes give that loud, party-house energy from the game.
Some buyers switch the sleeves to orange cowhide leather. The leather has a smooth grain and a slight shine. Paired with the wool body it looks like a classic wool-and-leather letterman. Over time the leather softens and forms to your arms.
If you want to see all shell and lining options we offer across our jackets, you can explore the colors and materials page. It shows wool weights, leather types, and lining choices in one place.
Example fan build: DIK Jacket
Here is a real example of how a fan ordered their jacket. The design is saved as “DIK 3-8-22” and uses our regular varsity pattern in a unisex Large. Body and sleeves are Melton wool, with a black body and bright orange sleeves. The buyer picked a zipper front, straight pockets with white welts, and a smooth polyester satin inner lining instead of quilted padding.
The knit base on collar, cuffs, and waistband is black with orange stripe lines. In the builder the knit style shows two lines, but the fan wanted the in-game look with three. In the notes they wrote “All knit lines 3” and “Sleeves knit lines color white.” Our team followed those notes and changed the rib layout so every knit area has three stripes, with white lines on the cuffs.
For decoration they uploaded a stacked BR logo for the left chest. They asked us to remove the black background and set the height to around six inches, so it fills the front panel without looking too big. The size section on the form lists chest, sleeve length, shoulder, and back length so we can cut the jacket to the right shape for that Large.
Technical build: shell, lining, and hardware
Clothoo has made jackets since 2013. Each year we sew many thousands of pieces for schools, teams, companies, and individual buyers. The DIK-style template uses the same build as those group orders.
- Shell: High Quality Melton wool for the body, with either wool or full-grain cowhide leather sleeves.
- Lining: quilted for extra warmth or smooth polyester satin for a lighter feel, chosen in the design lab.
- Trim: tight rib knit on collar, cuffs, and waistband, with stripe patterns and colors you control.
- Front closure: strong metal zipper or snaps, sized for thick outerwear.
- Pockets: straight or slant styles with strong welts and an inside pocket for phone or wallet.
The heavy wool shell blocks wind better than basic sweatshirts. The lining traps warm air without feeling bulky. Rib knit helps seal out drafts at the wrists and waist. These details make the jacket comfortable for cold bus rides, late walks across campus, or winter game nights.
For letters and logos you can choose chenille patches, tackle twill, or embroidery. To see more options for artwork, sizes, and placement, check the Clothoo patches and embroidery guide. It shows how we build front letters, back names, numbers, and special logos.
Designing Your DIK Jacket in the Clothoo Design Lab
You do not need design training to get this jacket right. Our online tools show the jacket in the center and all your options down the side. Every change shows up on the art in real time.
Step-by-step design flow
You can start from the general varsity builder or go straight into the fan-favorite layout. Many people begin on the online jacket builder to test colors, then switch into the saved DIK-style layout at this DIK jacket template link.
- Pick your base: all wool, wool with leather sleeves, or other options shown in the materials menu.
- Choose colors for body, sleeves, pockets, and knit trim to match the look you want.
- Select front closure, lining type, and pocket style so the jacket fits your climate and habits.
- Add chest letters, back name or number, and any extra patches or logos.
- Enter your size using chest and length from the XS-6XL unisex size chart, and repeat for each person in a group order.
As you adjust options, the price and preview update on screen. You can save the design, share it with friends, or come back later before you place the order.
Using the Notes box for extra details
Below the jacket preview you will see a Notes box. This is where you talk directly to our production team. Fans use it to ask for details that are not in the drop-down menus.
Helpful notes include lines like “Please make 3 stripes on collar, cuffs, and waistband,” “Make sleeve cuff stripes white,” or “Stack BR letters on left chest like the reference picture.” Short, clear sentences work best. Our team checks the notes while setting up your pattern and artwork.
Common mistakes to avoid
Two mistakes come up again and again. The first is guessing size from a hoodie instead of using a tape measure. A varsity jacket should have room for layers but still sit well at the shoulders. Always look at your chest and body length on the size chart, and if you plan to wear a thick hoodie, go up one size instead of hoping it will stretch.
The second mistake is putting too much on the jacket. When every area has a logo or line of text, nothing stands out. Pick one strong chest layout, one clear back idea, and maybe a sleeve number or year. Leave some black space so the art can breathe.
Payment Safety, Shipping, and Support
Many buyers live in the United States or Europe and notice that Clothoo sews jackets in Pakistan. It is normal to think about payment safety when you work with a factory in another country. We design our system to make this feel simple and safe.
Clothoo does not store your full credit card number on our servers. When you pay, your card details go through secure third-party payment processors on encrypted checkout pages. We receive only a payment approval, not your full card data. If you prefer, you can choose other payment methods where your card is already saved with that provider.
After checkout you get an order confirmation by email. Our team then cuts and sews your jacket, adds your letters and patches, checks the size list, and ships with tracking. If you have a question about status, our support team can look up your order by name or number and explain where it is in the process.
How to Wear a DIK-Style Varsity Beyond the Game
A good DIK-style jacket works both as fan gear and as daily outerwear. On a college campus you can wear it with jeans, a plain tee, and sneakers. Most people will just see a strong school jacket with bold colors. Only other fans will ask if it is based on the game.
In colder states you can zip it over a hoodie, add gloves and a beanie, and stay warm during long walks or bus rides. The wool shell and lining keep out wind and light snow. In milder places you can leave it open over a T-shirt during evening hangs or late classes.
If you want to plan a group order for friends, a club, or a team, start by testing colors and patches in the design lab. Then send your favorite layout around, collect sizes using the same size chart page, and add any special patch notes after you review options from the patches and embroidery section. This keeps everyone on the same page before you place the full order.
