Early hip hop style fused practicality with aspiration. The combination of shearling jackets with tracksuits is an undeniably hip hop look that allowed b-boys and b-girls freedom of
movement and warmth on the street. Buying expensive shearling coats and leather jackets at a good price was a rite of passage for young hip hop fans who travelled downtown to market stalls on Delancey Street in Manhattan.
