Skate Tees & Tops

Graphic tees anchor skate style because they’re practical and they show where you’re from. The history tracks through shops, brands, and crews printing their own cuts for tours, premieres, and local scenes. Weight, cut, and dye matter more than tags: a heavier blank holds up to slams and washing, garment-dye fades right, and ribbed collars keep shape after sweaty sessions. Over time, tees from skate-linked labels have crossed over, but the core idea stayed the same — shirts that work on the board and still look right when you’re off it. If you’re building out the basics, start with durable blanks and prints that mean something to you.
