From the Nike Sportswear site ....
"Back in 2006, Nike designers began a mission to re-craft iconic sports apparel in the most technical materials they could find. The ubiquitous American varsity jacket was an obvious choice for the experiment that would become Nike Sportswear. Raiding the All Conditions Gear (ACG) innovation cache, they found fabrics, laminates, and bonding methods that could brave nasty weather but still look fresh.
The first Nike letterman's jacket was for an imaginary team called the Dunk High Destroyers, and limited numbers were produced. The next version got even more technical, but the Destroyer name stuck."
Well Nike has now started doing some NCAA versions of the Destroyer jacket and they look quite nice (Duke sample pictured). Here's the problem ... you can't buy it from Nike.com. I think that your best bet is to call the Nike Sportswear store in NYC and see if they have the product and ask if they will take a phone order and ship to you.
Nike Sportswear - 21 Mercer St NY (212) 226-5433.
Check out the Nike sportswear site to see what teams they have created .... Duke, Kentucky, UCONN, Arizona.
