SAMUEL ZELIG - VARSITY 1/4 ZIP - FADED BLACK

Drawing inspiration from the forgotten corners of old yearbooks - the margins, the doodles, and private jokes scrawled between classmates.  We combed through school archives from the 1920s to the 1950s, inspired less by the posed portraits and more by what students left behind.  From exaggerated mascots to cartoon-strip sketches about school sports, SZ was drawn to the personal expressions that turned ordinary pages into time capsules.  Inspired by these artifacts of friendship and rivalry, they built their own cast of characters, invented crests, and created a fictional school spirit of their own.  Each piece in the group carries the feeling of something lived-in and passed down - designed to feel like it once belonged to someone real.

Features:  15oz loopback heavyweight cotton french terry, standard set in sleeves, silver riri zipper at center front, twill tape at neck, flatlock seam construction, and this garment has undergone a vintage wash to remove all shrinkage and give it a unique sun faded look.

Model wears a large, measuring 6’1" and 140 lbs.
