Stussy Vinatge Snapback, Adjustable Caps
Stussy is one of the brands which laid down the early fundamentals to this "streetwear" industry. Twenty-five something years later, Stussy has gone from surf, skate, punk, Hip-Hop to reggae, and everything in between while still being recognized and respected by many for their worldwide fashion appeal and independent operation. Right before the Soho Wooster spot closed, we were able to pick up these two gems dating back to the late 80's and early 90's. The first style is the California USA Bear cap, which is made in navy wool and utilizes an adjustable back strap. The graphic plays off the California State flag in straight flat embroidery. Next up is a vintage 80's Stussy Basketball All-Star cap with plastic snapback. The left and right sides feature Stussy b/ball allstars and is made in cotton twill with green undervisor. Both caps feature the Stussy Authentic labels and are made in the US with no collaboration. Search Ebay or Monster Vintage for these Stussy vintage, deadstock snapback caps.
