Stussy Tribe Hoodie Black

Stussy Tribe Hoodie Black is a piece worth understanding before you buy, because the detail is in the construction rather than the branding. Tribe refers to the International Stussy Tribe, the chapter network that spread the brand across London, New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo. Black holds the print at its sharpest and hides everyday wear, which is why it sells first across almost every Stussy line. Heavyweight cotton fleece with ribbed cuffs and hem that keep the boxy silhouette sharp. Stussy is widely credited as the first streetwear brand. Shawn Stussy was shaping surfboards in Laguna Beach in 1980 and signing each one by hand, and that signature became the logo.

Fit. Stussy cuts to a 1990s pattern: wide through the body, short in the length, with the shoulder seam dropping past the shoulder bone. That is deliberate rather than an oversized version of a normal hoodie. Order your usual size on the US chart, or size down one for a closer fit.

Styling. It layers under a varsity jacket without bunching at the collar.

Care. Wash cold at 30 degrees, inside out, and skip the softener, which flattens the fleece over time. Air dry rather than tumble, since heat shrinks a cropped pattern where you notice it most. Fold rather than hang, as heavy cotton on a hanger pulls the shoulders out.
