True to our “better than new” ethos, we’ve reimagined this former meatpacking warehouse as a community space for environmental and social justice events, too. On the Worn Wear side, you can trade in your gear, buy used and repair what you’ve got to keep it in play. When it’s time to buy new, you’ll find our latest clothing and gear, most of it Fair Trade Certified™ sewn and made with organic and recycled materials.
