About the original
The Supreme/Vanson Leathers S/S Work Shirt is a short-sleeve pinstripe cotton button-up with a camp collar, single chest pocket, and embroidered Vanson, Wiseco, Klotz, and Supreme racing sponsor patches referencing Vanson's road-racing roots. Wiseco manufactures forged pistons in Mentor, Ohio and Klotz produces racing lubricants in Fort Wayne, Indiana; both are longtime motorsport sponsors. Vanson Leathers was founded in 1974 in Fall River, Massachusetts by Mike van der Sleesen and has hand-made motorcycle leathers in the same factory for over five decades, outfitting AMA Superbike and road racing teams. Its retail catalog is almost entirely leather and waxed-cotton outerwear; the pinstripe cotton shirt with motorsport patches was made exclusively for Supreme. Released Week 8 of Fall/Winter 2025 at $178.
About Vanson Leathers
Vanson Leathers is an American motorcycle apparel manufacturer founded in 1974 by Mike van der Sleesen and Jamie Goodson in Boston, Massachusetts. The company's name is a portmanteau of the founders' surnames. Production moved to Fall River in 1987, where it still operates from the Laurel Lake Mill. Vanson made its reputation building racing leathers for Daytona 200 winner Dale Singleton in 1979, and has since outfitted riders including Freddie Spencer, Giacomo Agostini, and Nicky Hayden. Each jacket is cut and sewn by hand, with up to 126 steps per garment. Supreme has collaborated with Vanson on leather jackets and racing suits.
