Vintage 1997 The X-Files - XL
Vintage 1997 The X-Files - XL
Description
The restraint pulled me in first.
The front barely speaks, a thin X-Files wordmark, the X held inside a red circle in the middle of all that black. The back answers with a blurred logo and the line that defined the series: “The Truth Is Out There.”
Dated 1997. It feels less like television merchandise and more like a transmission somebody kept for nearly thirty years.

RELIC NOTES
This piece had a life before it got here. The fade, the wear, the softened fabric and the small imperfections are all part of where it’s been. We don’t erase the story. Look through the images. Check the laid-flat measurements. Know the relic before you claim it.
CARE INFO
Some pieces may be missing their original care tags, a trace of their age and a life already lived. When an original care label remains, follow its instructions first. Otherwise, use the guide that best matches the garment.
COTTON + GRAPHIC TEES
Machine wash cold, preferably inside out, using a gentle cycle. Hang to dry to help preserve the fabric, color and graphic. If needed, tumble dry on low. Avoid bleach and never iron directly over printed artwork.
POLYESTER + SYNTHETIC FABRICS
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid high heat, which may damage the fabric or graphic. Hang to dry whenever possible. If needed, tumble dry using the lowest heat setting.
HAND-WASH PIECES
Recommended for delicate knits, lace, crochet, lightweight wool and other fragile fabrics when appropriate. Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not wring, twist or aggressively agitate. Carefully press out excess water using a clean towel. Lay knitwear flat to dry; lightweight woven pieces may be hung to dry.
DRY-CLEAN PIECES
Professional cleaning is recommended for structured or fully lined coats, blazers and suits; delicate wool, velvet, silk or acetate garments; heavily embellished pieces; and fragile vintage clothing. Whenever possible, use a cleaner experienced in handling vintage garments.
LEATHER + SUEDE
Do not machine wash or submerge in water. Leather and suede should be handled by a professional cleaner who specializes in these materials.
