The Chicago Gang Book Page 272 - Sets - Crewneck Sweatshirt
This crewneck sweatshirt features a design inspired by the secretive world of the Chicago Crime Commission's Gang Book. The central element is a bold graphic referencing "Page 272 - Sets," a hypothetical page from the book that, based on available information, would likely detail the fragmented landscape of Chicago's gang scene.
Design Elements
The artwork may depict a stylized map of Chicago, possibly highlighting areas known for gang activity. Intersecting lines and bold typography emphasize the territorial nature of gang operations. The term "Sets" is prominently displayed, perhaps in a font reminiscent of a vintage guidebook or official document, further reinforcing the concept of documentation and record-keeping.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents the complex and ever-changing reality of Chicago's gang structure. The reference to "Sets" symbolizes the evolution of large gangs into smaller, localized factions. The use of map elements conveys the importance of territory and control in this environment. The overall aesthetic hints at the secretive nature of the Gang Book, a resource used by law enforcement to navigate this intricate world.
The design acknowledges the challenge in understanding something that is not public, it is an allusion to the hidden information and constant change of gang alliances.

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.

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.
