About the original
True Religion was founded by Jeffrey Lubell in Vernon, California in 2002 and built its identity on the horseshoe stitch, a rounded double-row contrast stitch drawn from the curve of Buddha's smile in the original logo. The Big T Horseshoe Polo is an all-cotton pique shirt with a two-button placket, Big T stitch appliqué on the chest, and a woven logo label at the back neck. It retails for $29.99 through True Religion directly. The Supreme version uses the same pique construction with Big T stitch appliqué at the chest and sleeve and comes in Black, Navy, Red, Olive Camo, and Woodland Camo.
About True Religion
True Religion is an American denim brand founded in 2002 by Jeffrey Lubell and designer Kym Gold in Los Angeles, California. The first collection of about 14,000 pairs introduced the thick contrast stitching, oversized horseshoe back-pocket arch, and Buddha-and-guitar logo that defined the brand's look through the mid-2000s, when the jeans became fixtures on Angelina Jolie, Jessica Simpson, Megan Fox, and Jennifer Lopez. Production was originally done in Vernon, California using selvedge and ring-spun denim. TowerBrook Capital Partners acquired the company in 2013, and ownership has changed hands several times since. Supreme has collaborated with True Religion on co-branded denim and graphic apparel.
