Puffer jackets, track jackets, cargo shorts, shirts and tees. FUBU's one of the defining labels of late 90s hip hop clothing, and the pieces that come back through us are the ones people genuinely wore: heavy outerwear and oversized cotton.
FUBU was cut deliberately oversized, and sizing from that era runs far bigger than the same letter does today, so an old XL sits closer to a modern XXL. That's the appeal, but it means the label's a poor guide and the flat measurements we've listed are the reliable one. On the outerwear, it's the zips and the lining that fail rather than the shell, and we check and photograph both before listing. Embroidered branding survives beautifully, while printed and rubberised logos crack with age.
For outerwear, browse vintage jackets, and for the rest see vintage shorts.
Common questions
How much bigger does 90s FUBU run?
Roughly a size, sometimes more. Late 90s hip hop clothing was cut oversized by design, so an old XL sits closer to a modern XXL. Use the flat measurements we've listed rather than the labelled size.
What should I check on a vintage puffer?
The zip and the lining. Both go before the outer shell does, and a jacket can look sound from outside while the lining's torn. We check and photograph both.
Does the branding hold up?
Embroidered logos survive almost anything. Printed and rubberised ones crack and lift with age, which is normal on a piece this old, and we photograph the branding close up so you can see which you're getting.
