^{AMONG ALL THE COLORS CHROME HEARTS USED ON ITS APPAREL BACK THEN—BLACK, WHITE, AND OCCASIONALLY PURPLE OR RED—ONE STANDS OUT AS A TRUE ANOMALY: THAT INTENSE, DEEP, AND VIBRANT ROYAL BLUE, UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE THE BRAND EVER PRODUCED.
THE BLUE IS SO PURE AND SATURATED THAT IT EVOKES AMERICAN POLICE UNIFORMS—THE DUTY GEAR SEEN ACROSS COUNTLESS MOVIES AND TV SHOWS.
YET HERE, IT IS REIMAGINED BY CHROME HEARTS WITH AN INTENSITY THAT MAKES IT FEEL ALMOST SURREAL.
WHILE ROYAL BLUE IS AN ABSOLUTE RARITY IN ITSELF, THE XXL SIZE REPRESENTS AN EVEN GREATER STATISTICAL RARITY.
PRODUCTION VOLUMES AT THE TIME WERE NEGLIGIBLE; CHROME HEARTS MANUFACTURED VERY FEW XXL GARMENTS DURING THE 90S AND 2000S.
CLOTHING PRODUCTION WAS TAILORED TO A MARKET WHERE BODY TYPES ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY REQUIRED SIZES RANGING FROM SMALL TO LARGE.
THE COMBINATION OF A SIZE THAT WAS VIRTUALLY NON-EXISTENT AT THE TIME AND A UNIQUE COLORWAY MAKES THIS PIECE—IN ALL LIKELIHOOD—ONE OF A KIND.}
