Nostalgia meets design

This piece brings back the 80’s in a huge way but we didn’t go overboard with the costume look. Red and brown are very true to that which was seen in the past, at the same time there is a modern edge to it. Also the fact that it is associated with a big show and a key character in that show which adds to its appeal.

Subtle but expressive

What to check before you buy

Fit & sizing: Sweatshirts for layering should be of a large enough size check chest width and sleeve length.

Material quality: For a pop culture piece it goes without saying that materials will vary. What we do ask is that the fabric hold up (cotton blend, fleece inside, strong stitching).

Colour accuracy: Because red and brown go well together but also can be very different in color, check out the pictures to see which brown you prefer (warmer like chocolate, or a more subdued shade?.

Authenticity vs. inspired version: This is not an official show piece rather a fan version. See for yourself if screen accuracy is what you require.

Care instructions: With bright colors note that washing may cause loss of vibrancy or color bleed check care label.
