The inside of the hood is gold colored cotton and has two gold rings stitched at the base (neck) for a drawcord. The back bottom of the hoodie has four thin slits in the fabric of the ribbed yoke. The costume was worn in scenes of Cage breaking up a drug ring in Mariah Dillard's Crispus Attucks complex in Harlem.
