Skateboarding brand Supreme, a streetwear player since 1994, has recently produced a series of collaborations, for example with Levi’s, Vans and Nike. This time it has gone cross-border though, teaming up with long-standing, classic and, last but not least, very chic UK brand Aquascutum: British style meets the world of skateboarding.

Aquascutum was founded in London's Mayfair district in 1851, and is chiefly renowned for its signature chequered pattern and its raincoats, worn by the British army at the start of the XXth century. The Aquascutum essentials, associated to the Supreme logo, are all featured in the labels' joint collection, which consists of a trench coat, a raincoat, a jacket, a shirt, a polo and a scarf.

Prices range between €108 and €660. The collection will be available online from 13th October on the two labels' e-shops, as well as at Aquascutum's London flagship store, in Marlborough Street, and at the Supreme stores in New York, Los Angeles and Paris. The skateboarding brand enjoys the backing of a considerable fan base, with 1.3 million Facebook followers and 2.8 million Instagram followers.
