About the original
Playboy was launched in Chicago in 1953 by Hugh Hefner with an $8,000 stake raised from family and investors; the debut issue featured Marilyn Monroe and sold out in weeks. Playboy Enterprises built a magazine, a club chain, and a global apparel licensing business around the rabbit-head logo designed by Art Paul in 1953. The Supreme/Playboy Rugby is a long-sleeve cotton-pique rugby shirt built for the FW2017 capsule with a twill woven collar, three-button placket, and contrast color-block panels across the chest and sleeves. An embroidered Playboy rabbit-head sits at the left chest with a co-branded Supreme/Playboy woven label at the back neck. Released in white, navy, and black at $148 as a Supreme exclusive; Playboy does not manufacture a rugby shirt of this cut under its own name.
