Stüssy and COMME des GARÇONS work in collaboration to celebrate Stüssy's 40th anniversary. The big milestone is marked by a joint capsule full of intricately designed pieces. The collection is made up of a limited edition varsity jacket, a tee, and a ring.
The IST varsity jacket is the base foundation to the design and has been a staple by the skate apparel by the 80s. The limited edition piece is a true testament to the brand's rich heritage and a display of how far along it has come. The back of the jacket is detailed with the International Stussy Tribe 8-Ball Globe that is done in a large patch accompanied by the classic "Earth in the corner pocket."
