About the original
Comme des Garçons SHIRT produces cotton knit crewneck sweaters as part of the elevated basics line within Rei Kawakubo's Paris-based house, founded in Tokyo in 1969 and headquartered in Paris since 1982. The SHIRT sub-label focuses on men's shirting, knitwear, and essentials, positioned below the main-line runway collections in price and conceptual intensity. The $220 figure is the last verified list price for the cotton knit crewneck; the house retires seasonal knitwear each season and its current carry-over crewnecks are lambswool rather than cotton. The FW2018 Supreme collab crewneck was produced in a heavy gauge cotton knit with a Supreme box logo embroidered on the front chest and the CDG SHIRT logo embroidered on the back, in black, navy, and burgundy.
