Many people see shirts with the "Shawn" signature and assume they are Stüssy, but they are actually from the S/Double brand. This article summarizes who S/Double is, how it differs from Stüssy, and where you can buy it in Thailand.
What is S/Double?
- Owned by Shawn Stussy: The co-founder of Stüssy and the person who created the iconic handwritten logo. He left Stüssy in 1996 and has had no further involvement with the brand.
- Early era (2008–2016): S/Double was founded in 2008, with the first collection released in 2010. It had a studio in Santa Barbara and an S/Double Surfshop in Tokyo, selling mainly through BEAMS before going on hiatus in 2016.
- Returned in 2024: The brand marked its return with a large mural outside the Globe headquarters in Australia and collaborated with Peter and Stephen Hill, the founders of Globe. The first collection since its return was released in Fall/Winter 2024, and by 2026, it will have released seven seasons.
How does S/Double differ from Stüssy?
- Different companies: Stüssy is no longer owned or designed by Shawn Stussy, while S/Double is a brand he runs directly.
- Different signatures: S/Double uses the "Shawn" signature and the S/DOUBLE logo he designed himself, not the word Stüssy.
- More limited availability: It is now mainly available in Australia and New Zealand, with almost no stores selling it in Thailand.
- Style: It has the feel of early Stüssy California surf culture, featuring graphic t-shirts, football jerseys, flannel shirts, coach jackets, and caps.
How do S/Double sizes fit?
- Relaxed fit: T-shirts have a boxy fit. Wearing your regular size will give you a relaxed, comfortable look. If you prefer a closer fit, try sizing down.
- Measure against a shirt you wear regularly: Measure the chest width and length of a shirt that fits you well, then compare it to the measurements provided by the store.
- Compare with other brands: See how to choose sizes for Stüssy and other streetwear brands at How to Choose Streetwear Sizes
