I’m a Pepper 1977 Vintage Men's Hoodie

Description The “Be a Pepper” campaign began in 1977 continued until about 1983 and anybody that was old enough during those years knows the jingle which went “I’m a Pepper, he’s a Pepper, she’s a Pepper, we’re a Pepper, wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper, too?” by heart. It was a catchy tune that caused you to hum or sing along and even resulted in clothing and accessories featuring “I’m a Pepper.” By 1980, “Be a Pepper” was ranked as the third most popular of all advertising campaigns in the United States, proving that sometimes the most effective campaigns are the most simplistic. Details Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on super-soft Gildan 18500 hoodies via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. With a large front pouch pocket and drawstrings in a matching color, this hoodie is soft, stylish, and a perfect mid-weight for laying in cooler weather or keeping the chill off during summer nights at the beach. 50% preshrunk cotton, 50% polyester* Fabric weight: 8.0 oz/yd² (271.25 g/m²) Double-lined hood with matching draw cord Quarter-turned to avoid crease down the middle Air-jet spun yarn with a soft feel and reduced pilling 1×1 athletic rib-knit cuffs and waistband with spandex Double-needle stitched collar, shoulders, armholes, cuffs, and hem Front pouch pocket Sizing Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current sweatshirts, laying it flat, and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the hoodie laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the sweatshirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our sweatshirts are made using premium, preshrunk cotton/poly blends, there can be some slight shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence or just want to be able to layer over various shirts, we always suggest going up a size as hoodies are meant to be a little on the big side 😎 S M L XL 2XL 3XL 4XL 5XL Sleeves 24.77 24.77 24.77 24.77 24.77 24.77 26.74 26.74 Length 27.17 27.96 29.14 29.93 31.11 31.89 33.08 33.86 Width 20.08 22.05 24.02 25.99 28 29.93 31.89 33.86 All sizes are provided in inches! *Heather colors are 60/40 polyester/cotton. **Due to the nature of the printing process and different sizes offered, imprint position and scale may vary slightly from the product images, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible.
