Chicago Gang Book: Page 249 - Sets - Crewneck Sweatshirt
This crewneck sweatshirt features a design inspired by "The Gang Book" (often referred to as the Chicago Gang Book), specifically referencing page 249, which likely details "Sets," or the smaller factions within larger gang alliances. The artwork aims to capture the essence of this intricate and complex subject matter.
Design Elements and Meaning
The central element of the design is a stylized representation of a page from the Gang Book itself. This element immediately establishes the source of inspiration and the subject matter. The text "Page 249 - Sets" is prominently displayed, acting as a direct reference point and a key detail for those familiar with the book.
The design incorporates elements hinting at territorial boundaries and gang structures. Subtle visual cues such as fragmented lines and overlapping shapes suggest the localized nature of gang identity, and how the old structures of large super gangs have fractured into smaller, independent sets. The overall composition creates a visual representation of the interconnected and sometimes competitive relationships among the sets themselves.
The design aims to evoke a sense of mapping, analysis, and information. It subtly communicates the book's purpose as a detailed catalog of gang factions and their locations, as well as the ever-changing landscape of gang culture in Chicago.
Unisex Heavy-Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt
A clean, dependable crewneck engineered for everyday wear. The cotton/poly blend keeps prints bright and the fit approachable — neither too boxy nor too snug. It's the sort of sweatshirt you reach for when comfort matters.
Product Highlights
Built from a balanced cotton and polyester mix, this crewneck gives you the soft hand of cotton with the color-keeping and shape retention polyester offers. That fabric combo helps printed artwork look crisp and vibrant, wash after wash.
Practical construction details — a ribbed knit collar that holds its shape and the absence of side seams — remove common annoyances so the sweatshirt feels smooth and lasting during everyday use.
- Cotton/poly blend for softness, durability, and color retention
- Ribbed knit collar to prevent stretching and keep a neat neckline
- No side seams for a cleaner feel against the skin
- Midweight construction — warm without bulk
- Made to hold print detail and color after repeated washing
Fit & Style Notes
The cut is unisex and intended to be versatile — choose your normal size for a classic fit or size up if you prefer a relaxed, contemporary silhouette. The length and sleeve proportions are tuned for easy layering.
Style it with high-waist jeans for a clean look, throw on a lightweight coat for chilly commutes, or match with joggers for a comfortable set. Works well with bold prints or minimalist branding.
