What is the Factory Cost of a Supreme and Palace Hoodie?

Joe and I cut up a supreme and palace hoodie and tell you about which factories it’s made in. We filmed a similar video for Stone Island and CP Company on his channel.

Do this yourself with the right tools:

Hey! I've got a content suggestion : I think many of us wouldn't know where to buy good quality basics : great jeans, white cotton shirt, trench coat, leather perfecto or timeless handbag. Maybe you could help out with your brands & factories knowledge ?

[calebmorgan]

As someone starting a label, this content is genuinely some of the best I’ve come across. Super thankful for the detail and information, that is so often gate kept. Super dope. 🙏🏻

Can you pull apart an Arcteryx Veilance jacket or coat. Maybe the Isogon MX

the undercut to skaters and the attention to detail is funny. skate culture provides so many style notes to fashion for a reason. skaters are tasteful people and pay crazy attention to detail, especially in their craft, media, and fashion (quality included). skating alone needs so much attention to detail.

The reason for the double knit rib should be clear.

The rib look on the outside is substantial - and what you have to go with to look big and chunky - but it also has a tendency to spread as it is much more sweater like. to stop that some people put a small amount of lycra yarn into the knit - to have it bounce back, but that is almost always visible - and gives a plastic feel. If you double knit with the much less elastic single jersey on the back side, it will keep its taughtness and shape better during wear and wash.

I've made millions of sweats all over the world, and all of these are stylistic choices, accommodations, and just like one of you said, sometimes something the factory experimented with once, and then just started pushing out to their customers as a special aspect.

Often the buyers and product managers don't like to get into that level of understanding - and they end up just sticking with the factory because - stuff from them just feels different.

Another thing is how often the choices are made based on whatever inspiration sample the buyer had in that moment. The supreme very clearly has every hallmark of a 1990 Champion Reverse Weave - which would have cost $49 retail even back then - which they may have picked up at a vintage shop - and the dryness, weight and details just made the entire thing seem "perfect"

The blue marks on the inside are from the factory and are to line up where the embroideries should go - and tend to go away in the wash.

The one guy should know you don't really have any minimums on garment dying - maybe 50pieces depending on what size tubs you are working with - but also what your tolerances are on consistency.

I do have to say I am very impressed with hitting the 500 exactly on such a light colorway - I would be interested to know what a dark color comes out at, my guess would be 512gsm.

The grey heather marl - looking from outside is not YARN DYED - it is fibre dyed usually...can also be achieved with yarn dying a blended yarn (Meaning CVC) where the cotton takes on the color more than the poly. But the classic Grey Heather that is used on so many sweats is dyed at cotton fibre level in a blow room BEFORE it is spun into yarn - with big books of what color shades you are looking for. If you are not picking a yarn and color that is on stock - this could increase minimums tremendously - as these blow rooms are a pain in the kiester to clean up and set up.

Supreme hoodies are perfect for NY winters. The thickness and stiffness is necessary

[grzegorzlewandowski]

That horizontal weave you are talking about is the hallmark of Champion's classic premium sweatshirts. It was Champion that introduced this technique, patented I think back in the 1930s, and it's called Reverse Weave - shrink resistant, durable, and made to last. All things in this line are clearly marked on the label.

This Palace hoodie is their "premium" line, with the white tag on collar. Their hoodies or tees don't always have the white Palace tag, they sometimes have the Triferg logo printed on inside of the collar instead. These one are less expensive and are a bit less quality, from my experience. I am always very satisfied with Palace though.

I like your content a lot, keep it up ! 😊

I buy the only buy the stiff feeling hoodies from Supreme. I love the comfort and the feel. Also, the are super warm and last forever!

[skeedotreed]

Great video. I’m interested to see if you guys could do a Spring/Summer hoodie from Supreme. This was a Fall/Winter one so they’re typically thicker to combat the NY cold, but the Spring/Summer ones are SLIGHTLY less thick

[SupremeRockSki]

Love my supreme hoodies. Especially older heavyweight crossgrain cotton ones

[frozenwalkway]

would love to see your takes on "rugged" and "work gear" type clothing.

[RedMarble.Studio]

Your video quality and editing is amazing man. Really educational and engaging. Keep it up

[louissamuel]

A Polo Ralph Lauren Hoodie and their clothing I would be interesting

[phin]

I think you also need to consider which season collection that the hoodie belong. Some brand made their fall winter item heavier and summer thinner. That supreme looks like it from FW and the Palace is from Summer

[hughmcneillie]

Another great video. Invaluable insights for anyone considering starting up their own brand. Thank you

[urnan]

This was actually such a great fun way of learning fabric processes, maybe I didn’t need a uni degree
