[Stüssy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stssy-4) and [COMME des GARÇONS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-gdragon) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freeride-to) 8-Ball Globe that is done in a large patch accompanied by the classic "Earth in the corner pocket."
