Details

Super soft vintage overdyed striped mechanic work shirt. Each piece carries the marks of labor + repair. No two are exactly the same, that's a good thing ;) Wear the work. This isn’t a new shirt. It’s a rescued one, that is upcycled through our system in Los Angeles. Why it matters Most clothing doesn’t get recycled. It gets dumped, exported, or forgotten. We do the work in between. Sorting. Cleaning. Repairing. Keeping textiles in circulation and supporting garment workers. When you buy this, you’re not just wearing it. You’re funding that system. This PRE ORDER ships in late-October. 
Size and Materials

Relaxed, boxy fit. Short Sleeve. Sourced from second hand workear. No two are exactly alike in fit, wash, and color. Signs of previous life are intentional.

One of a Kind Product

By buying remade, you are choosing to reuse and getting a one-of-a-kind piece upcycled from post-consumer, deadstock, and other recycled materials. Remade is a choice to support reuse over consuming new, mass-produced monotony. Upcycling is an art, so pieces may vary in size and color within a style.
