Is this an official Prince jacket?

It is marketplace merch printed with Prince artwork, not a licensed or officially branded release. Treat it as fan apparel rather than collectible band merchandise.

Is it warm enough for cold weather?

No. It is a lightweight baseball-style jacket meant for layering in mild weather. For winter, wear it over a hoodie or choose a heavier outerwear piece.

It follows a standard varsity cut with ribbed collar, cuffs and hem. Print-on-demand jackets often run close to size, so check the listed measurements before ordering if you plan to layer.

How should I wash it to protect the print?

Turn it inside out and wash cold on a gentle cycle, then hang or line dry. Heat from a dryer is the main cause of cracked, fading graphics.

How does it compare with a plain varsity jacket?

A plain varsity from a sportswear brand usually has heavier fabric and better stitching. This one wins on the Prince graphics and loses on build quality and warmth.
