About the original
A flat pry bar is a forged or stamped steel lever used for light demolition, nail pulling, and opening crates, typically around 18 inches long with a beveled wedge at one end and a nail claw at the other. The tool is unpatented commodity hardware produced by dozens of manufacturers (Stanley, Estwing, and a long tail of unbranded imports) to the same basic specification, and sold at every hardware store for under $15. The FW15 Supreme version is an unbranded flat bar painted red, with the box logo and "NEW YORK NY USA SHIT HAPPENS" printed in white along the handle. It retailed for $48.
About Unbranded
Some Supreme accessories are produced without a disclosed manufacturing partner, using generic or custom-sourced items as the base product. In these cases the original manufacturer is either contractually undisclosed, sold under a house brand by the original supplier, or assembled from components without a single branded origin. Examples include items where Supreme applies its logo to a stock product category rather than collaborating with a named maker. For catalog purposes these entries are grouped as Unbranded, with product type and specifications documented where verifiable even when the OEM is not public.
