Condition: Beautifully worn vintage condition with natural fading, an incredibly soft, lightweight feel and visible distressing to both sleeve cuffs, including fraying, loose threads and small areas of wear. Some discolouration is visible around the cuffs. These details add wonderful character to this older collegiate piece. Please examine all photographs carefully.

Size: XL (estimated from measurements; original size label absent)

Chest Measurement (Pit to Pit): 24 inches

An exceptional piece of vintage American collegiate style, this Massachusetts Institute of Technology sweatshirt has the beautifully worn-in appearance and soft, lightweight construction that make older athletic garments so desirable.

Finished in classic heather grey, the front features bold faded red M.I.T. lettering above the traditional Massachusetts Institute of Technology seal. The simple collegiate design, naturally aged print and understated colour combination give this sweatshirt a timeless look.

Its raglan sleeve construction, ribbed crew neckline, cuffs and waistband create a classic athletic silhouette. The fabric has developed a beautifully thin, soft handle through years of previous wear, while the distressed cuffs add character that cannot easily be replicated.

Based on its construction, fabric characteristics and overall appearance, we estimate this sweatshirt may date from the late 1960s to the 1970s. Its exact production year and original manufacturer have not been independently confirmed.

A standout addition to a considered vintage wardrobe, perfect with worn-in denim, workwear trousers or layered over a favourite T-shirt.
