About the original
Strathmore Writing is a cotton-fiber business-grade letterhead paper produced by Mohawk Fine Papers, manufactured continuously since 1892 when founder Horace Moses named the line after Scotland's Strathmore Valley. The paper is the most widely specified cotton-content sheet for corporate identity, legal stationery, and financial communications in the U.S., and is made in Cohoes, New York with windmill-generated electricity. The FW21 Supreme version is a 500-sheet ream of 24 lb, 8.5 x 11 inch Strathmore Writing in white, watermarked with a custom Supreme mark in place of the standard Strathmore watermark. It released November 18, 2021 at $58 and was packaged in a Supreme-branded ream box.
