Here we have an incredibly unique, gently used and extremely well maintained Vintage 50s Hickory Basketball Champion Doran Acrylic & Rayon Blend V Neck Sweater. This sweater is in excellent, lightly used condition with a little bit of creasing and fading to midsection from a long period of being folded. Outside of that, which isn’t a big issue in my opinion, there are absolutely no rips, holes, tears, snagging, stains, markings or other blemishes. This sweater is like new and doesn’t show any signs of excessive wash, wear or use such as pilling, pulling or other failures. Crisp flock graphic at chest along with unstretched collar, cuffs and waist. Even the interior looks to be unused. Very clean and ready to wear or display. Unique piece from the 50s or 60s, this one is kind of a head scratcher. There is a real high school in North Carolina named the Hickory Red Tornadoes, I am unsure of their history. The movie Hoosiers was produced in the mid 80s and the basis of the story was based around a real high school team from Indiana who won the state tournament in 1954 but for the movie the teams name was fictionally changed to the Hickory Huskers, they wore these colors. The Indiana Pacers have since retrospectively wore “Hickory” jerseys in the NBA for specialty games to pay homage to the film. This item is most likely from the real high school but could potentially be a movie prop, either way it passes as a “Hoosiers” item and would look great as a Halloween costume or dressed up at a game. Well made of a 50/50 Acrylic and Rayon blend, it features the original Doran Champion tag and is referred to as a “casual” sweater. Lighter in weight, it’s breathable and would look sharp over a button up dress shirt or tee. Has seen little use, has been well kept and shouldn’t disappoint. Made in the USA, Mens size Large. This is a vintage garment, please message if measurements are needed or if they are going to be of any concern. Won’t last long so don’t wait. I will ship via USPS Priority Legal Flat Rate Envelope with tracking and added protection for your item. Please ask any and all questions prior to purchase as returns are not accepted. U.S and Global Shipping Program buyers only please. Thanks for looking and God Bless
