About the original
Thrasher is a skateboarding magazine founded in San Francisco in 1981 by Kevin Thatcher, Eric Swenson, and Fausto Vitello as the in-house publication for Independent Truck Company. Its Skate Mag pullover hoodie is a 50% cotton, 50% polyester standard-fit hood with a drawcord, kangaroo pocket, and the magazine's flame-script logo screen-printed at center chest; the flame logo was drawn by an unknown freelancer in the early 1980s and has been the masthead since. The hoodie sells for $75.95 through Thrasher's San Francisco shop and skate-shop network. The Supreme FW21 version uses the same pullover pattern with a co-branded Supreme / Thrasher Multi-Logo graphic printed across the chest, released September 23, 2021 at $168.
