About the original
Comme des Garçons SHIRT produces 100% 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, wearable product positioned below the main-line runway collections in price and conceptual intensity. 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. It was released in black, navy, and burgundy on September 13, 2018 at $188 retail and sold out online within minutes.

Questions
Is the Supreme x Comme des Garçons SHIRT Sweater just the regular Comme des Garçons SHIRT Knit Sweater?
The Supreme x Comme des Garçons SHIRT Sweater, released in Fall/Winter 2018, is based on the Comme des Garçons SHIRT Knit Sweater. Supreme collabs sometimes change the colorway or materials; the description on this page covers the original's specs and any notable differences in the Supreme version. If you want the product without the box logo, the Comme des Garçons SHIRT Knit Sweater is the one to buy.

No — Supreme priced this one below the original's retail: the Supreme x Comme des Garçons SHIRT Sweater sold for $188, while the Comme des Garçons SHIRT Knit Sweater lists at $220.

Either way, the Comme des Garçons SHIRT Knit Sweater is the version that doesn't require catching a Supreme drop.
