About the original
The Hanes Realtree Tagless Tees are 100% cotton ComfortSoft crewneck T-shirts printed with Realtree camouflage, made by Hanes under license from Realtree Outdoor Products, the Columbus, Georgia company founded in 1986 by Bill Jordan that pioneered photorealistic camo for hunting apparel. Hanes, founded in 1901 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina by brothers Pleasant Henderson Hanes and John Wesley Hanes, is the largest manufacturer of mens underwear and basic tees in the United States; the tagless construction uses a printed neck label instead of a sewn-in tag. The shirts ship in multipacks through mass retailers and have been a Hanes staple for hunters for over a decade. The FW17 Supreme version is a two-pack in the Realtree Woodbine colorway (the name Supreme catalogued the drop under, applied to the same Realtree tree-bark print) with a small box logo and Realtree branding printed on the lower front.
