About the original
The Supreme/Playboy Wool Varsity Jacket is a 24-ounce melton wool letterman jacket with satin lining, snap front closure, striped rib-knit collar, cuffs, and hem, and a leather Playboy bunny-head appliqué on the chest with contrast piping on the sleeves and pockets. Playboy was founded by Hugh Hefner in Chicago in 1953; Art Paul designed the rabbit-head logo for the second issue, and the mark has appeared on licensed apparel since the 1960s. The FW17 collab released September 21, 2017 in black, brown, and dusty blue at $398. The wool body and satin lining follow standard American varsity jacket construction; the bunny-head leather patch is the collaboration's defining detail.
About Playboy
Playboy is an American men's magazine founded in 1953 by Hugh Hefner in Chicago, Illinois, produced from his Hyde Park kitchen with $8,000 in seed capital. The first issue carried no date (Hefner was unsure there would be a second) and led with a Marilyn Monroe centerfold from a previously published calendar shoot. The Rabbit Head logo, designed by art director Art Paul for the second issue, became one of the most-licensed marks of the twentieth century. Playboy paused its print magazine in 2020 and now operates as a licensing business under PLBY Group. Supreme has collaborated with Playboy on Rabbit Head T-shirts, hoodies, and outerwear.
