Thrasher Skate Wear Clothing & Accessories - UK Store

Thrasher is, first and foremost, a skateboarding magazine that many consider as the 'skateboarding bible'. With over 250,000 readers, it's only natural for the publication to launch its clothing and accessories brand to cater to a vast market.

The skate apparel and accessories brand came around soon after the foundation of the magazine. The latter was founded in 1981 by Kevin Thatcher, Eric Swenson and Fausto Vitello, under the publishing company High Speed Productions, Inc. in San Francisco. The magazine features photography, reviews and interviews with pro skaters and emerging artists in the music scene.

All Things Skateboarding

Of course, Thrasher clothing and accessories are influenced and inspired by the numerous skaters that the magazine features. From tees, caps, sweatshirts and pants, to griptape, wallets and belts, there's always a dash of edge and cool based on what many skaters are looking for in apparel and other items.

Thrasher the magazine has featured plenty of skateboarders and their tricks over the last three decades. And perhaps the styles they have come up with were based on the common necessities of the skaters. Though the trends in skating apparel and accessories have evolved over time, Thrasher's signature logo and wordings are renowned all over the globe. They are a fashion statement on their own and whoever wears a piece of clothing and accessory with a bold logo exudes an edgy and cool vibe altogether.

On-going Debate: Who Should Wear Thrasher?

While it is a challenge to find exclusivity in the client side of the business, Thrasher products have found their way in the hands of street wear enthusiasts and celebrities. While some do not agree with this, it is the extreme popularity that brought these individuals to try and love the brand.

Some skateboarding enthusiasts in forums are divided in their opinions on whether celebrities should wear Thrasher clothing and accessories. Even the editor of Thrasher magazine is not enthused by this reality.

Thrasher the brand may have solely focused on producing apparel and other products for skateboarders, but the fashion industry have caught on after seeing models and celebrities wearing them as part of their casual streetwear style.

To the non-skating, Thrasher brand-loving individual, wearing a t-shirt or cap with a bold lettering and logo means being fashionable or being with the 'it crowd'. However, as many members of skateboarding forums and online publications have mentioned, Thrasher (both the brand and the magazine's yearly award given to deserving skaters) is like a status symbol that emphasises the ideal skater who is resilient, resourceful and carefree.

Well-known Collaborations

Thrasher and numerous brands have collaborated to produce many of the capsule collections, limited editions and seasonal items that brought excitement in the skating community.
