About the original
Thrasher Magazine was founded in San Francisco in 1981 by Kevin Thatcher, Eric Swenson, and Fausto Vitello, and has operated continuously as skateboarding's magazine of record for over four decades. Thrasher has sold its own line of 100% cotton tees, most recognizably the Flame Logo and Skate Goat graphics, through shop.thrashermagazine.com since the 1990s. The Cross Tee graphic on this FW24 Supreme collaboration is original artwork by Neckface, the NYC-based graphic artist Thrasher has commissioned for magazine covers and apparel since the mid-2000s. The Neckface graphic is Supreme-exclusive; the underlying tee is built on Thrasher's standard Flame Logo blank body.
