One Of A Kind
Selection of some of our first O.O.A.K drop, mix of vintage and early 21st Century crewnecks.
One Of A Kind (O.O.A.K)
First drop of our O.O.A.K program, pieces that fall outside of our grading system, too pretty or interesting to get re-dyed. Sold as is - one of a kind.
All In The Details
An array of tags from a rainbow of options. These classic typographic lock ups from timeless eras of American sportswear have inspired many – including our own trim package.
Nothing new here.
Everything you see is secondhand, each piece is sorted and graded in our LA warehouse. Because the world doesn't need another new T-shirt. It needs new ways of thinking. Live in AWE©.
Our Process
Secondhand shirts being sorted by color. The next step for them will be a trip to a commercial laundry and then back for sizing. At AWE we never manufacture new garments, and we never will.

Method To The Madness.
At AWE, we embrace imperfections, but we’re kind of perfectionists about our imperfections. Each product undergoes our rigorous grading process to ensure our modern size specs and quality standards.
