Early 2010s; based on the green rectagular woven neck tag style and the modern plastic zipper pull design.
Material
Likely a Cotton/Polyester blend (approx. 80/20 or 60/40); mid-weight fleece with ribbed knit cuffs and hem. Plastic hardware.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The fabric shows minor surface lint and light wash wear. The black color remains saturated, but there is visible white lint/pet hair that needs removal. No visible holes or stains.
Demand Level
Moderate. While the brand has a cult retro following, modern basics like this sell steadily but not at a massive premium.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Depop, or eBay. Depop is particularly good for United Colors of Benetton due to its younger audience that appreciates 90s-heritage brands.
Selling Tips
Use a lint roller before photographing to ensure the black fabric looks crisp and clean. Use 'Y2K,' 'Streetwear,' and 'Euro' as keywords. Since it is a basic item, list it for $25 with 'Offers Welcome' to encourage a quick sale.
