Independent Trading Co. 4000 hooded sweatshirt. Series One blank.

Garment-dyed heavyweight cotton. The shade goes in before cutting and runs through the fabric.

Double-needle hems, taped neck, ribbed collar that holds. Pre-shrunk — the fit stays where it starts.

Decoration is one mark: MilkMan, embroidered chest-left on the finished garment. Thread over ink.

Series One will not be restocked.
