Description
A visceral relic of the Ura-Harajuku streetwear movement. This Narcotic GDC pocket tee features the legendary "NO WAR" graphic—a potent visual protest that defined Takashi Kumagai’s early creative output. The design is masterfully integrated with a front chest pocket, showcasing the brand’s commitment to utilitarian aesthetics fused with social commentary. Constructed from heavyweight premium cotton with a "Peaceful Message" inner label, this piece captures the raw energy of late 90s/early 00s Japanese street fashion. It is not just a garment; it is a historical document of the era when Harajuku was the epicentre of global cool. ⸻ HISTORY & RELATED INFLUENCE Narcotic GDC, founded by stylist/photographer Takashi Kumagai, remains a pillar of the "Secretive" Japanese brand era. Similar to early Undercover and Neighborhood, GDC focused on quality and powerful messaging. The "NO WAR" series is their most coveted silhouette, often worn by cultural icons of the period. A mandatory asset for curators of Japanese archival streetwear. ⸻ DETAILS ERA: Late 90s / Early 00s Archive Identity: Narcotic GDC (Manufactured by GDC) Material: 100% Pure Cotton Feature: Functional Chest Pocket / Archival Graphic Print Vibe: Harajuku Street / Subversive / Military Protest ⸻ MEASUREMENTS (Flat Lay) Tag size: M (Medium) Chest (pit to pit): 20 inches Length (shoulder to hem): 27.6 inches ⸻ CONDITION Excellent Vintage Condition.
