We're excited to announce that we've produced some throwback A&B Sound hooded sweatshirts, on the heels of the t-shirt we released.
Proudly printed in East Van, this is the latest in a number of nostalgic garments we've made available including Beaver Lumber and Luvafair t-shirts, and many others.
A&B Sound was an institution for decades and had a huge presence in B.C. in the 90s. If you listened to music you no doubt bought CDs from them, and there's no way you could avoid the hype around their legendary Boxing Day sales.
At one time viewed as too big to fail, the company went bankrupt in 2008. Some blame it on the rise of digital downloads and streaming services, and the business not being able to adapt.
Some details about the garment:
- Proudly printed in East Vancouver
- 50% pre-shrunk cotton, 50% polyester
- Fabric weight: 8.0 oz/yd² (271.25 g/m²)
- Double-lined hood with matching drawcord
- Quarter-turned to avoid crease down the middle
- Air-jet spun yarn with a soft feel and reduced pilling
- 1×1 athletic rib-knit cuffs and waistband with spandex
- Double-needle stitched collar, shoulders, armholes, cuffs, and hem
- Front pouch pocket
