Pop Goes the Planet: Unpacking the Crushed Can Sweatshirt
A discarded soda can. A flash of defiance. For some, it’s just litter. For us, it’s a relic. A tiny monument to a moment in time, a burst of energy, and maybe, just maybe, a little bit of beautiful chaos. In an era of polished perfection and curated feeds, there’s a raw, undeniable appeal to something… crushed. Something real. And that’s precisely where our latest piece, the Crushed Can Organic Sweatshirt, finds its pulse.
We sat down with Jax Retrograde, the visionary behind some of our most iconic designs, to talk about taking inspiration from the street, ethical threads, and why a crumpled aluminum shell is the perfect emblem for right now.

The crushed can. It’s such a specific, almost irreverent image. What was the spark behind choosing this particular motif for a fall sweatshirt?
It’s the snap. The immediate visual of something once perfect, now beautifully broken. Think back to the retro 90s, when pop art was still fresh, and street culture was finding its voice. There was a raw energy to that era, a rejection of the pristine. A crushed can isn't just waste; it’s a moment frozen. A statement against the disposable, ironically. We wanted that grit, that unapologetic vibe, but twisted it for today. It’s a nod to consumerism, sure, but also about finding beauty in the overlooked, giving new life to the forgotten. It resonates with that grown-up gamer who remembers pixelated worlds and wants something more substantial than just another logo.

Beyond the visual, this sweatshirt boasts GOTS-certified organic cotton and recycled polyester. Why was that material blend crucial for a design like this?
Look, you can’t talk about giving new life to something old if you’re destroying the planet to do it. It’s hypocritical. The organic cotton isn’t just about being ‘eco-friendly’; it’s about the feel, the breath. It’s chemical-free comfort against your skin. And the recycled polyester? That’s our direct action against waste, giving plastic another shot at glory. This isn't some cheap sticker on your chest; it's breathable, water-based ink pressed into fibers that actually feel good, wear well. It’s part of a larger conversation about how sustainability isn't just a buzzword, but a commitment to quality and conscience. It's about designing pieces that last, not just trends that fade. We believe in the power of organic cotton, for real comfort and real impact.

Who is this sweatshirt for, really? How do you see it fitting into the modern wardrobe?
This is for anyone who gets it. The person who appreciates a bit of irony, a splash of rebellion, but demands comfort and quality above all else. It’s got that relaxed, mid-weight feel – perfect for layering as the seasons shift. Think Y2K revival, but less frantic, more refined. It’s unisex, effortlessly cool. Pair it with vintage denim, some chunky sneakers, or even under a sharp blazer for that high-low clash. It's a statement piece that doesn't scream, it just… is. And because each one is made fresh to order, printed specifically for you, it’s not just a garment; it’s a deliberate choice. Printing queues are filling up as the cold front rolls in, so consider this your friendly heads-up.
