ACT UP Silence = Death, Limited Edition, Levi’s® Vest

Genuine Levi Strauss & Co. limited edition, stonewashed black denim vest with embroidered “Fight Stigma” patch and classic “ACT UP” button on its front and bold, graffiti-style "Silence = Death" graphic on the back. Limited edition. Once these are gone, they’re gone! Made from heavyweight 98% cotton and 2% Elastane non-stretch denim. Machine wash cold, tumble dry medium, no dry cleaning. Note: These vests run large.  The style of this vest is a men's and it's meant to be worn slightly oversized. We recommend that you choose a smaller size down if you are looking for a tighter fit. Consider that for the stated size, you could wear a sweater or sweatshirt underneath. Please scroll down to the bottom and click on "SIZE GUIDE" below before placing your order as you will have to pay the return and exchange postage if you get the wrong size and want an exchange (but we are happy to accommodate).
