This week’s Supreme drop, slated for Thursday, May 22, 2025, rides in with serious heat as the brand teams up once again with the legendary American motorcycle outfitter Vanson Leathers. This Spring/Summer 2025 release marks a bold continuation of the longstanding creative relationship between both brands, blending streetwear dominance with raw, road-tested craftsmanship. The spotlight of the drop is on two rugged staples: the Supreme x Vanson Leathers Cordura Cotton Jacket and its matching Cordura Cotton Pants. Together, they strike a fierce balance between form and function, appealing to both fashion aficionados and performance wear purists.
The Cordura Cotton Jacket is crafted from heavy-duty Cordura cotton canvas and lined with mesh for added comfort. Its details lean heavily into Vanson’s utilitarian DNA, featuring a full zip closure, double welt hand pockets, a snap collar, zip cuffs, and a leather card pocket at the placket. What really sets the piece apart are its bold leather appliqué logos on the chest and back, plus embroidered patches on the sleeves, ensuring it turns heads whether on the street or the speedway.
Complementing the jacket are the Cordura Cotton Pants, made from the same tough material and available in white, black, and denim colorways. Priced at $577 for the jacket and just $71 for the pants, the collection offers surprising range across both premium and entry price points, especially for a collaboration of this stature.
At the heart of this drop lies the heritage of Vanson Leathers, a brand founded in 1974 in Fall River, Massachusetts. Built on a legacy of high-performance motorcycle apparel, Vanson quickly became a symbol of durability, quality, and rebellious flair. Their gear, typically handmade from competition-weight leather, has earned a cult following among bikers, racers, and more recently, fashion-forward urbanites. Known for their timeless silhouettes and rugged appeal, Vanson jackets embody authenticity and American craftsmanship. It’s no surprise that Supreme has tapped them repeatedly for collaborative capsules that reflect both brands’ shared love for bold visuals and cultural edge.
Previous Supreme x Vanson efforts include the iconic Bones Leather Jacket, which mimicked skeletal armor; the striking Leather Star Jacket; and a workwear-inspired Hooded Jacket. Supreme also once brought Hysteric Glamour into the mix for a punk-laced, triple-branded edition that now commands thousands on the resale market. These earlier drops have grown into grails, sought after by collectors and streetwear enthusiasts alike, and this week’s release is poised to follow in that tradition.
With its high-impact graphics, premium build, and deep roots in both fashion and function, the Supreme x Vanson Leathers SS25 collab is an instant classic. As the pieces hit Supreme’s online store and select locations this Thursday, expect swift sellouts and a fast track to resale glory. This isn’t just another drop–it’s a crash course in what happens when streetwear meets American legacy.
