About the original
Comme des Garçons SHIRT is the menswear diffusion line launched by Rei Kawakubo's Comme des Garçons in 1988, producing premium basics and tailored shirting typically made in Portugal, Italy, or Japan. Cotton tees from the line run $80 to $150 at standard retail. Comme des Garçons itself was founded in Tokyo in 1969; Kawakubo's Paris debut in 1981 helped establish Japanese avant-garde fashion as a force in European ready-to-wear. The Supreme FW18 tee carries the split box logo, the Supreme wordmark halved and mirrored across a vertical center seam, applied to a 100% cotton crewneck body. It retailed for $54 and dropped September 13, 2018.
