So, forever and a day we’ve been asked to drop a range of merchandise. It seems you lot have been hungry for us to lend our creative eye to tees and bags you can actually sport.
It’s always interested me, and we’ve finally succumbed.
As always, if we’re going to do this, we’re going to do it the foureighty™ way: source the very best we can find. With the expert guidance of master screen printers Done Print Company in Woolwich, we kicked off the journey.
Tees
Finding the right manufacturer for our tees was never going to be simple. I didn’t want to go with the usual suspects — I wanted quality I’d be proud to wear myself.
We searched hard (kissed a few frogs, as they say), but in the end Earth Positive was the natural choice.
Not only do the tees look killer, with a fantastic cut and made from organic cotton — a super-durable, premium material — they feel great too. Quality that looks sharp from the start and wears in even better over time.
As the name suggests, Earth Positive is a fully sustainable company. Launched in 2007, they set out to prove cotton clothing could be produced without harming the Earth’s soil, water, climate, or inhabitants — whether people, plants, or animals.
A perfect partner that fits the foureighty™ ethos, and one we’re excited to keep working with to bring you the very best garms.
We’ll be dropping tees of our own design and also collaborating with friends to bring the heat — always fresh, always different.
Penfold
Our first collab out of the blocks? None other than Tim Gresham A.K.A. Mr Penfold. Tim is raw talent, and we’re massive fans.
We’ve teamed up many times before — Tim’s painted two huge pieces for the shop (one in the garden, one inside), and in the summer of 2024 he even live-painted a Porsche Carrera outside the shop over two days.
For this collab, Tim has produced four exclusive designs for us. Each will drop in limited runs only — no reprints. When they’re gone, they’re gone.
Totes
When it came to tote bags, we weren’t about to just grab the first canvas sack we could find. We wanted something sturdy, sharp-looking, and — most importantly — something you’d actually want to sling over your shoulder every day, whether you’re picking up coffee beans, vinyl, or a couple of bottles of something nice.
We searched high and low, tested a bunch, and let’s just say… not every bag made the cut. But eventually we landed on the ones that tick every box.
Our totes are made from heavyweight organic cotton, built to last with reinforced handles, and cut to a size that’s genuinely practical — big enough to carry your gear but not so oversized it feels like you’re off on holiday. They age beautifully too; the more you use them, the better they look and feel.
Sustainability was key here too. We partnered with a supplier who puts people and planet first, delivering quality without compromise. The result? A tote that’s stylish, useful, and built to last — exactly what foureighty™ should be putting out into the world.
Like with our tees, we’ll be rolling out our own designs on these bags and teaming up with friends to make them even more special. Expect limited runs, bold prints, and totes that tell a story.
Totally different designs for shopper and beach bags are also in the pipeline — always more to come.
Launch
Printing is already underway, and we’ll have everything up for sale at the end of the month to coincide with the launch of our new website.
She’s had a long-overdue total overhaul: a slick new look, smoother browsing, and a shiny new webshop to boot.
Keep an eye on our socials towards the end of the month — we think you’re going to love it.
Big LOVE
Matt
