US Vintage Sweatshirt: What Makes a Vintage Sweatshirt Worth Buying?

emmashaw
I’m interested in US vintage sweatshirt styles and would love to hear from people who collect or regularly wear vintage American clothing.

What do you look for when buying a vintage sweatshirt? Is the age, fabric quality, faded finish, original graphics, brand, stitching, or overall condition most important? I’m also curious about how to tell whether a sweatshirt is genuinely vintage or simply designed to look vintage.

For anyone who shops for vintage American apparel, where do you usually find good-quality sweatshirts? Any tips for checking sizing, condition, and authenticity before buying would be appreciated.
