Product Type: This Di Bassetti electric blue terry sweatshirt from the 1970s is an ultra-rare piece of early European streetwear, blending sports heritage with standout design. Made in Italy, this garment represents a foundational era in casual fashion — long before streetwear became mainstream.
Crafted from soft terry cloth, the sweatshirt features a relaxed silhouette with a classic crew neckline, ribbed cuffs, and hem. The bold electric blue colour is elevated by twin white stripe detailing across each sleeve, giving it a distinctly athletic, vintage aesthetic. An embroidered logo on the sleeve adds an authentic branded touch.
Believed to be a prototype design for later production pieces, this sweatshirt holds significant value for collectors and vintage enthusiasts alike. It’s not just a garment — it’s a piece of fashion history.

Collector’s Note
Pieces like this rarely come to market.
Originating from 1970s Italian sportswear, this Di Bassetti sweatshirt represents a formative period in the evolution of modern streetwear. The use of terry cloth, combined with bold athletic striping and rich colour, reflects a time when sportswear began influencing everyday fashion in a way that would later define global style movements.
Garments of this calibre — particularly those believed to be early or prototype designs — are becoming increasingly scarce. This is not just a wearable piece, but a collectible with cultural and historical relevance.
