Supreme vs. Original
About the original
Eagles Nest Outfitters was founded in 1999 in Asheville, North Carolina, by brothers Peter and Paul Pinholster, who began selling parachute-nylon hammocks out of the back of a van at festivals before building the brand into a portable-camp-goods company. The Islander is a 6'1" x 6'1" picnic and beach blanket cut from 70D quick-dry ripstop nylon taffeta, with a zippered stash pocket, four reinforced corner stake loops, and a sewn-in stuff sack that compresses the blanket to roughly the size of a water bottle. The SS22 Supreme version uses the same Islander construction in a printed nylon pattern with a Supreme box logo. Released June 16, 2022 at $198.
About ENO
ENO, short for Eagles Nest Outfitters, is an American outdoor brand founded in 1999 by brothers Peter and Paul Pinholster in Asheville, North Carolina. The company built its first parachute-nylon hammock prototypes that summer and sold them out of a van at East Coast festivals and craft shows. Core products include the SingleNest and DoubleNest hammocks, Atlas suspension straps, and Guardian bug nets, all designed for backpackers and festival use. ENO operates independently from Asheville and is one of the most widely distributed hammock brands in U.S. outdoor retail. Supreme collaborated with ENO on a co-branded DoubleNest hammock.
