That is a modern small, and short in the body, so it wears cropped rather than oversized. There is no shoulder measurement because a raglan has no shoulder seam to measure across.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost 50\/50 sweatshirts are cotton and polyester. This one is cotton and acrylic, which is a softer, loftier hand, closer to a knit than to a jersey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree things date it, and they agree.\u003c\/strong\u003e The tag is black: Wrangler ran cream Blue Bell tags into the late sixties and moved to black Wrangler tags around 1970, so a black tag puts this in the seventies at the earliest. The hems are \u003cstrong\u003esingle stitch\u003c\/strong\u003e, which American manufacturers abandoned for twin-needle work through the nineties. And it is made in USA, before Wrangler's production moved offshore. Seventies or eighties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWrangler was launched in 1947\u003c\/strong\u003e by Blue Bell of Greensboro, North Carolina, which had bought the Casey Jones work-clothes company in 1943 and the little-used Wrangler name with it. Blue Bell ran the brand for nearly forty years, until VF Corporation bought the business in 1986.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA raglan sleeve is cut in one piece from collar to cuff\u003c\/strong\u003e, with no shoulder seam, which is why these move the way they do and why they drape softly rather than sitting square. It was an athletic construction before it was a casual one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModern size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits like a modern Women's S or Men's XS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition is good.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of one.
