Heritage & History
Shaka Wear was founded in Commerce, California in 2007, entering the blank apparel market with a focus on heavyweight construction that differentiated their products from the thinner, lighter blanks that dominated the category. Commerce sits in Los Angeles County's industrial belt, historically one of the largest garment manufacturing regions in the United States, and Shaka Wear grew its business within that ecosystem.
The brand built its following in the screen printing and custom apparel industry, where the weight and printability of the blank substrate directly affects the quality of the finished product. Shaka Wear's 7-ounce and 8.5-ounce t-shirts — significantly heavier than the 5-ounce shirts that most competitors offered — provided a surface that held ink better, draped better, and lasted longer.
Made in Commerce, California
Shaka Wear manufactures its heavyweight blank apparel in Commerce, California, maintaining domestic production in the Los Angeles garment manufacturing ecosystem. California's apparel manufacturing heritage — built on generations of workers who brought textile skills from Mexico, Southeast Asia, and elsewhere — provides the production infrastructure that Shaka Wear's domestic manufacturing requires.
The brand's heavyweight basics are the preferred blank for custom apparel businesses, screen printers, and anyone who needs a quality foundation for printed or embroidered designs. Made in California with a weight and construction specification that the custom apparel industry trusts, Shaka Wear occupies a specific niche in American manufacturing that speaks to quality over the minimum viable alternative.
