Vintage 2001 Marlboro Cowboys Chronicles crewneck sweatshirt, complete with its original Marlboro promotional hang tag.
Black pullover sweatshirt with contrasting red interior at the neckline and a clean, completely unbranded exterior. Features a hidden zippered utility pocket on the upper sleeve. Original hang tag reads āMarlboro Cowboys Chronicles ā Celebrating a Special Way of Lifeā and is dated Ā© Philip Morris Inc. 2001.
The lack of Marlboro branding on the sweatshirt itself is an interesting product of tobacco advertising restrictions introduced around the turn of the millennium. Under the 1998 Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement, participating tobacco companies were prohibited beginning in 1999 from distributing apparel and other merchandise bearing their cigarette brand names or logos. At the time, approximately 30% of 12ā17 year olds reportedly owned at least one tobacco promotional item, and branded clothing was among the forms of advertising targeted by the agreement.
Marlboro continued offering promotional merchandise, but pieces from this period could be deliberately unbranded on the actual garment, with the Marlboro association instead documented through removable tags and promotional materials. This 2001 sweatshirt is a particularly interesting surviving example because its original Marlboro Cowboys Chronicles hang tag remains attached.
Made in Turkey from an 80% cotton / 20% polyester blend. Original interior tag is marked Adult Size XL.
