About Recession Clothing

We started Recession Clothing in 2007, in the midst of the economic downturn, with the belief that it’s time to go small.

When you pick up a piece of Recession Clothing, you know where it came from: our small studio in West Oakland where we make our clothes from start to finish. First we meticulously design every garment. Then we collect the most comfortable, sustainable, and reliable fabrics we can find. We cut all the patterns, print the pieces, and carefully sew them up.

The end result is a collection of streetwear and undergarments for men and ladies that is responsibly produced, good humored, and will leave customers with their new favorite clothing.
