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.

Inside Label: AJD Chris Mullin, Golden State Warriors Snapback Cap
The crew cut, Brooklyn born Chris Mullin arrived in the NBA in 1986. His successful amateur play as a member of the St. John Redmen and 1984 gold medal winning Olympic team helped him earn a ticket to the Golden State. Mullin was taken in the first round of the draft by the Warriors and took his sharp shooting game from the Queens hardwood to the West Coast bay. Mullin came into his own in 1989 when the Warriors offensive play was nicknamed Run TMC, a play on the influential hip-hop artists Run DMC. Mullin was joined by Mitch Richmond and Tim Hardaway to form this potent offensive attack. In 1992 Mullin was selected to represent his country in the Olympics as a member as the original Dream Team. Mullin would finish his career as a 5 time all star, putting up close to 18,000 points.
This royal wool hat is an iconic representation of one of the games greatest outside shooters. It is a six panel cap with a royal plastic snap back. The American run AJD Company issued these style caps in the early 1990’s. Mullin’s autograph is electronically flocked to the front panel. The Golden State Warriors logo is embroidered on the front in white, royal and gold thread. The back two panels hold an embroidered self-fabric patch with Mullin’s name and number in white thread. The vertically arched patch, affixed to the back, simulates the look of a jersey nameplate. A white cotton band wraps around the inside of the hat and a printed nylon tag featuring the NBA logo is stitched within.
Mullin finished his career with the Warriors after helping the Indiana Pacers to the NBA Finals.
