    The Ocean Is Our Backyard

    When Fresh Clean Threads started in a San Diego couple’s guest room, sustainability wasn’t exactly built into the business plan. The primary focus was to simply get the company (then called Fresh Clean Tees) off the ground. Over the years, thanks to hard work and good fortune, we’ve grown into a notable apparel brand. These days, Fresh Clean Threads is still based in San Diego (now in an office, of course), which means we spend a lot of time enjoying the ocean’s beauty and bounty with our family and friends. So our beachside community means a great deal to us, and we’re continually excited to give back and look for new ways to help out.

Fashion & Sustainability

For us to be the clothing brand we want to be, Fresh Clean Threads needs to be part of the solution instead of the problem — and it’s a big problem. The fashion industry is one of the world’s largest polluters, and it doesn’t help that global clothing production has doubled since 2000.
