About the original
Timberland's anorak is a half-zip pullover jacket built from a water-resistant cotton-blend shell, with a kangaroo front pocket, zip chest pocket, fixed hood with shockcord adjustment, and elastic-gathered hem. The Abington, Massachusetts brand was founded in 1973 by Sidney Swartz and his son Jeffrey when the Abington Shoe Company introduced the original injection-molded sealed-seam waterproof boot that gave the company its name. The Supreme SS2021 version adds two reflective shoulder stripes and a red Supreme-Timberland chest logo, offered in black, purple, rust, and stone. It retailed at $168 in May 2021.
