Hey all,

So I’m in the search for good quality skate style t-shirts, preferably not black and white. In the past I was a big fun of the Animal brand but in the recent years they’ve turned mainstream.

Any recommendations are much appreciated!

    maybe try grundstoff.net (German company). their stuff is rather plain but t-shirts are available in very heavy fabric. i like them but I’m not sure whether it’s any good for when you work out (i sweat a lot when I’m skating).

    “Skateboard style” as in intended to be worn while doing activities that will rough up the material? If so, I’d do the opposite of BIFL and buy the cheapest stuff I could…like a 12 pack of Walmart-tier stuff

    Strong disagree. I am a skater and it’s not by chance that skaters started to wear Dickies work pants. Durable materials from blue collar working clothes are mostly cheap (except Carhartt now hehe) and make a difference.

    In my experience, Vans has some good shirts as well but it varies depending on the product. Also, skate shops (support your local!) have better (as in more durable) options than bigger stores. If they don’t sell skateboard parts, go somewhere else if you live in a bigger city.
