Vintage Street Wear Triple Five Soul Sweater VTG Deadstock SZ XL Unisex NWT

Description

Triple Five Soul Sweater VTG Deadstock Abbie Hoffman Revolution Street Wear XL.  New with tags still attached.  I tried to find this sweater online so I could determine the year and if it is a men's or women's and I had no luck.  I am guesstimating that this is a 1990's piece ( as side arm patch is similar to Ralph Lauren patches of that era).  It is marked XL but seems a bit small for a men's XL.  I am going with this is a unisex piece.  Please go by measurements in description. Black rib knit wool sweater with grommets and canvas accents.  Colorful bullion style logo patch on left sleeve and a Revolution quote done in black suede on right front shoulder going down the chest. Please note the black suede quote does blend with the black knit of the sweater.  I have lightened the photos a bit to show quote up close.  Marked XL the measurements are 22" from underarm to underarm, 27" sleeves top of shoulder to end of wrist and 27" total length.
The bullion patch on the left shoulder reads Hasta Victoria Siempre ( Ever Onward To Victory) and the full quote on chest reads " Revolution is not something fixed in ideology nor is it something fashioned to a particular decade it is a perpetual struggle embedded in the human soul."
Born in 1989, Triple five Soul originated as a humble storefront in New York City’s Lower East Side. Originally entitled with a tongue-and-cheek reference to one of the then-popular telephone party lines, Triple five Soul quickly became focal point for a multi-faceted, quickly emerging cultural movement. In 1997, only months after opening its flagship store on fashionable Lafayette Street, Triple Five Soul began expanding it’s international wholesale business. Exponentially increasing coverage in a wide range of fashion magazines, an uncanny and genuine popularity amongst this generation’s cultural heroes, and the unorthodox establishment of a base of operations in Brooklyn’s then upcoming Williamsburg neighbourhood all contributed to Triple Five Soul’s broad and fashion-forward visibility as a leader of the street wear industry.
