COMME des GARÇONS and Stüssy work in collaboration to celebrate the ladder's 40th anniversary -- the two honor this milestone in the form of a monochromatic varsity jacket design. The apparel features chenille patchwork throughout the arms and on the back.
These feature iconic insignia of both contributing labels including a bucket hat or fragrance bottle alongside an oversized patch of the Surf Guy by COMME des GARÇONS. The varsity jacket is constructed from melton wool as a premium foundation. It is lined with satin with ribbed details at the cuffs, hem, and the collar. In addition to the plethora of patchwork, there are embroidered branding details at the left chest as well.
