From inspiration to finished tee — crafted locally in San Diego

inspiration

Everything vintage inspires us. From a worn collegiate tee with a beloved mascot to the charm of retro signs, we draw inspiration from the past. Each graphic embraces nostalgia, distinctiveness, and the unique character of days gone by.

To create a truly authentic vintage look, some tees are hand-distressed to mimic years of wear. Check each product description for details.

block printed

Our designs are hand-carved from wood blocks, inked, and pressed onto each tee. This traditional method takes time, patience, and a true appreciation for craftsmanship.

screen printed

Designed to capture the look and feel of our block printed tees, our screen printed designs feature faded, slightly imperfect graphics for that vintage-inspired character.
