Material
Likely 100% Cotton or a Cotton/Polyester blend; mid-weight jersey or thermal knit with fleece-like interior texture.
Condition
Fair to Good. Visible pilling across the body, fading to the charcoal fabric, and significant fraying/distressing on the white applique logo patches.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, or Depop. These platforms are best for mid-tier mall brands. Locally, it may sell at a buy-sell-trade shop like Plato's Closet, though they may pass due to wear.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Y2K', 'Vintage Aeropostale', and 'Preppy'. Use a fabric shaver to remove the pilling before photographing to significantly increase the item's appeal. Bundle with other similar items to save on shipping for the buyer.
