The back of this warm winter vest is crafted in a textured, stretchy rib knit with colorful stripes, while the smooth stockinette front features a knitted-in 1980s Soviet children's superhero—Donald Duck. He achieved iconic status through the wrappers of chewing gum illegally smuggled into the USSR, which kids collected, highly valued, and even traded as a form of currency
