About the Collection
The Merced 209 Collection is twenty original graphic tees built around the landmarks, culture, agriculture, and after-hours energy of Merced, California and the broader 209 area code.
Each design starts on a garment-dyed, heavyweight blank - the kind of shirt that looks better after a hundred washes. Warm, earthy colors. Strong vintage typography. Printed here in Merced.
Garment blanks, colors, sizing, and pricing are still being confirmed. These products are not available for purchase yet. Sign up below to be notified when the collection launches.
