About the original
The Champion Puffy Jacket is a water-resistant polyester shell with quilted synthetic fill and a contrast black hood, produced as a Supreme make-up by Champion Athletic Apparel for Fall/Winter 2015. Champion was founded in 1919 in Rochester, New York, as Knickerbocker Knitting Mills by Simon Feinbloom and his sons Abraham and William; after Simon's death in 1922, Abe and Bill ran the business and later renamed it Champion Knitting Mills. They applied for a Reverse Weave patent in 1938 (granted 1952) and supplied every on-court NBA uniform from the 1990-91 through 1996-97 seasons before the league split licensing across multiple brands. The jacket is detailed with Champion's outsized script C appliqué in white tackle twill at the front chest and a Supreme spellout across the back, both original to the collaboration. It released in red, black, and blue colorways at $198, part of Supreme's Week 14 drop on November 19, 2015.
