About the original
Coogi was founded in 1969 in Toorak, a suburb of Melbourne, as Cuggi by Jacky Taranto, and produced mercerised-cotton and merino-wool knitwear for the Australian market before changing its name permanently in 1987. The brand's three-dimensional multicolor jacquard became a cultural touchstone in the 1990s after Notorious B.I.G. wore Coogi sweaters on magazine covers and name-checked the label in multiple songs. Taranto sold the brand to US investors in 2002 for a reported $25 million. The SS2023 Supreme Basketball Jersey applies Coogi's signature dense jacquard knit to a sleeveless basketball cut with a V-neck and Coogi and Supreme logo knits at the chest, merging the brand's knitwear construction with a mesh-tank silhouette.
