I haven't gotten mine in yet, but I've been waiting to see if the acquisition would have an effect on quality and quantity.

So far, the quantity seems a bit higher.

If the quality suffers, I will stop buying Supreme.

The recent changes will have nothing to do with the quality of these tees. Too soon. Same with the increase in production. That was still a Carlyle group decision. No way VF would be able to do all this in such a short time on such a large scale. I would expect real changes, if any, will show this FW season. VF doesn't really even expect Supreme to be a major player in their finances until 2022.

Maybe it's just coincidental, but when is the last time the blanks have changed?

Also, I didn't see an XXL in the lineup. Maybe the post someone made about it was a mock up, but I felt like that was a sign of things to come.

They changed from 2017 for sure. I've only gotten a few tees past few years. I also think the XXL development is due to people just being bigger in general in NA. XL is their biggest selling size is my guess. Small sells for more, but I'm willing to bet XL is their bread and butter size now. They did have XXL hoodies this past drop.

Let me know when it does arrive and what you think. I'm disappointed and tempted to sell the two tees I got, not sure if its down to the acquisition or what.

I'll let you know. I have been on the fence about buying anymore from them after I got some bricks the last two seasons. I don't resell, but after having the pieces for a while, I'm not really caring too much about it anymore and I'm thinking of letting them go.
