About the original
The Thrasher Knitted Crewneck Sweater is a knit pullover in a 55% cotton, 45% polyester yarn, with the Thrasher logo at center chest. Thrasher is a skateboarding magazine founded in San Francisco in January 1981 by Eric Swenson and Fausto Vitello, who had co-founded Independent Truck Company three years earlier and started the magazine partly to promote it; Kevin Thatcher served as its first editor. The magazine still publishes, and its logo now runs across a wide line of Thrasher-branded clothing, of which this sweater is one piece. Supreme has re-released the co-branded knit across seasons, adding its own front graphic to a garment that is otherwise Thrasher's product.
About Thrasher

The publication is known for its annual Skater of the Year award, established in 1990, and the flame-logo merchandise that broke into mainstream fashion in the mid-2010s. Thrasher remains independently owned by High Speed Productions. Supreme has collaborated with Thrasher on T-shirts and hoodies built around co-branded flame and box-logo graphics.
