Undercover SS2003 “Scab” Stripe Tee

From Jun Takahashi’s legendary Scab collection (SS2003), this tee perfectly captures the chaos-meets-craft ethos that defined early 2000s Undercover. A playful yet subversive twist on Americana, the shirt features distorted horizontal stripes—some made up of repeating taco and hot sauce bottle graphics, others rendered in a warped, wavy print that adds to the disjointed rhythm of the design.

Classic Scab details are all here: a raw split hem, subtle distressing at the edges, and a slightly asymmetrical cut that feels more deconstructed than deliberately tailored. The cotton has softened over time, adding to the lived-in punk feel that defined the collection.

An incredibly rare and collectible piece from a season that shifted the language of street and high fashion.

Condition: 8/10 – Light fading, minor fraying at hem, consistent with design intent.
