Gap Pullover Appraisal

Vintage GAP Athletic Half-Zip Sweatshirt

This is a grey, long-sleeved, half-zip sweatshirt from the brand GAP. The main body of the sweatshirt is a medium heather grey, consistent across the visible fabric. It features a ribbed knit collar and cuffs, and a ribbed hemline which is partially visible. The pullover style has a metallic zipper extending from the top of the collar down to approximately the upper chest, suggesting a stand-up or mock-neck collar when fully zipped. The zipper pull is small and also metallic. Prominently displayed on the chest are the letters 'GAP' in a large, dark navy blue, collegiate-style font, outlined with a lighter, possibly white or light grey border. Below the 'P' and centered within the 'A', the word 'Athletic' is embroidered in a smaller, script-like font, also in navy blue. The interior appears to be a lighter color, likely white or off-white, as seen through the open zipper. The fabric appears to be a soft, fleece-lined material, typical of comfortable athletic wear. There are visible creases and folds in the fabric, indicative of the item being worn or stored. The overall condition appears good with no obvious tears, stains, or significant pilling, although a full assessment would require closer inspection. A label is visible inside the collar, though its details are not legible. Based on the style of the logo and garment construction, it likely dates from the 1990s to early 2000s, aligning with a vintage or retro aesthetic. The craftsmanship appears standard for mass-produced apparel from a major brand, with even stitching and consistent fabric quality. The oversized fit implied by the drape suggests a relaxed style common in that era.
