If you haven’t had the chance to wear a Supreme hoodie, you’ve been missing out. No, we aren’t talking about the brand, but the hoodie itself: the dense and weighty fleece, the industrial-strength ribbed panels at each side, and hems deliver a healthy amount of giving, which makes it perfectly proportioned. So if you don’t have an extra grand to blow on the resale market, then there’s another you should consider, the Reigning Champ, which turns out to have the same heavy-duty athleticwear minus the branding and highly limited supply.
