Supreme King Hooded Varsity JacketBlack

Product Description

The Supreme King Hooded Varsity Jacket in Black is a premium outerwear piece that takes the varsity jacket's foundational American athletic and collegiate identity and elevates it through the specific and design-loaded addition of a hood, creating a silhouette that occupies genuinely new territory between the traditional varsity jacket's clean-cut preppy heritage and the hooded sweatshirt's street and casual authority. The King designation adds an institutional and slightly regal character to the varsity jacket concept that suits Supreme's ongoing engagement with imagery and language of power, authority, and status that runs consistently through the brand's most ambitious seasonal pieces across every product category. Black leather sleeves against a black wool body or single-material black construction creates the most serious and street-credible version of the hooded varsity concept, stripping the silhouette of the contrasting color combinations that conventional varsity jackets typically employ and replacing them with a unified dark authority that reads as simultaneously athletic and slightly menacing in the most aesthetically interesting way.

Supreme hooded varsity jackets occupy a specific and coveted space within the brand's outerwear archive as pieces that productively and visually interestingly challenge the varsity format's conventional proportions and associations while maintaining enough of the silhouette's foundational heritage to remain recognizable and design-historically honest in their reference. The King concept amplifies that productive tension between heritage and transgression, the regal naming and hooded construction together creating a jacket that carries more narrative and conceptual weight than a standard Supreme varsity release while delivering the material quality and construction investment that the four hundred and forty-eight dollar price tier demands and justifies for collectors who understand what they are acquiring. The FW20 black King Hooded Varsity is a genuinely significant piece in the Supreme outerwear archive.

The Supreme King Hooded Varsity Jacket in Black was released on October 22, 2020 with a retail price of $448.
