Surf Trip Supply published the Surfrider Jacket on September 19, 2026 — two days before we wrote this. It's priced at $145, which puts it above every hoodie in the brand's regular lineup, and the product description reads less like standard marketing copy and more like a founder's note. We're not going to claim we've handled it ourselves, but we can tell you exactly what the brand itself says is in it.

How we chose

We read Surf Trip Supply's full live catalog on September 21, 2026 and sorted by publish date. The Surfrider Jacket was the newest item in the catalog by two days at the time of writing.

What the Brand Says Is In It

Surf Trip Supply's own product page describes the jacket in the founder's first person, not the usual third-person listing copy:

"I spent the past year designing and redesigning this chain stitched jacket. The Surfrider Jacket features over 250,000 stitches, imported Japanese plaid lining, and meticulous fading on both the arms and shoulders. Each stitch is meant to represent the spray the surfer makes as he/she rides the wave. This batch of jackets took nearly four months of production, many details being finished by hand."

We can't verify the stitch count or the year-long design claim ourselves — this is the brand's own stated account, not something we measured. What we can confirm from the catalog data directly: it's priced at a flat $145 across every size, sized S–XL, and — as of the time of writing — every size was in stock (4 of 4 combinations).

How It Compares to the Rest of Surf Trip Supply's Catalog

Surfrider Jacket Typical Surf Trip Supply hoodie
Price $145 $75–98
Construction Chain-stitched, hand-finished details Standard screen-print/embroidered fleece
Size range S–XL S–XL (consistent with the rest of the brand's catalog)

At $145, this is one of the more expensive single pieces in Surf Trip Supply's catalog — priced closer to Silva Espadas's denim jackets than to anything else Surf Trip Supply sells. If the hand-finished construction the brand describes holds up, that positions it as a genuine step up from the rest of the lineup rather than just a pricier hoodie.

Frequently asked questions

When was the Surfrider Jacket released?
September 19, 2026, per the catalog's publish date.

Is the jacket true to size like the rest of Surf Trip Supply's catalog?
We haven't seen a specific model-fit note on this listing the way many of the brand's other pieces have (see our Surf Trip Supply sizing guide for the brand's general pattern) — check the product page directly before ordering.

How many were made?
The brand describes it as "this batch," consistent with Surf Trip Supply's small-batch production pattern across the rest of its catalog — we wouldn't expect an unlimited restock.

Methodology and limitations

This is a new-release breakdown based on Surf Trip Supply's own published product description, read from its live catalog on September 21, 2026. Claims about stitch count, design timeline, and production process are the brand's own stated account — we have not independently verified them and have not physically handled this jacket. Stock, pricing, and sizing reflect a single snapshot and change constantly.
