Est. Yorkshire · drawn by hand

Clothing for people who know what a clean transfer looks like.

Hand drawn by Dan Skez in Yorkshire and run like a culture library: every garment is a strain, batch coded, limited cuts, isolated before it ever touches cloth.

01The originals

Every line starts on paper

Two drawings by Dan Skez, ink on paper, are the genetics behind everything in this library. We trace each one so it prints sharp at any size, and every wobble of the hand comes with it.

02The library

New items

Every item carries a batch code, a phenotype and a cut count. When the cuts are gone, they are gone.

03Field notes

Read the label

If you have ever labelled a plate at two in the morning, you already speak this. If not, here is the translation.

  1. 1

    Strain

    The design

    One drawing, done by hand by Dan Skez. That is the genetics.

  2. 2

    Batch

    The code

    BAG-001 and counting. Its place in the library, for good.

  3. 3

    Phenotype

    The colourway

    Same genetics, different expression. Pick the one that suits you.

  4. 4

    Cut

    One garment

    Runs are limited. Your basket is called the cut list for a reason.

  5. 5

    Flush

    The drop

    They come up when they are ready, not when a calendar says so.

  6. 6

    Keeper

    What made it

    Anything in the library survived selection. The rest never left the bench.

04Protocol

Agar to garment

We run the brand the way you run a clean bench. Start wide, cut hard, and only the keeper goes to cloth.

  1. 01

    Spore

    Every piece starts as a sketch. Pen on paper, nothing generated.

  2. 02

    Plate

    The ideas go down side by side, so we can see what is really growing.

  3. 03

    Isolate

    We take the strongest sector and bin the rest. No filler, no contam.

  4. 04

    Transfer

    The keeper moves from paper to cloth, printed big so the line work survives.

  5. 05

    Flush

    Batch coded and released in limited cuts. When a flush is picked, it is gone.

05Evidence

On the back

Photographs from Dan's own earlier clothing runs, not B.A.G stock. Proof the artwork looks right on cloth.

06Posters, on sale now

The print room

Posters, and nothing to do with the drop. Giclee prints of the original drawings on A2 and A3, printed and sent out now. A couple are limited releases.

07Where it comes from

Cut in Yorkshire

Two lads from Yorkshire. One draws, the other builds. Nothing in this brand was made by a machine guessing at what art looks like.

The white rose is not a sticker slapped on at the end. It is the reason anything gets made here: do it properly, do it yourself, and do not go on about it.

“Stop AI slop. Support human artists.”

Dan Skez

God's own county, every last bit of it
