The city name, written the way the city actually writes. Our Los Angeles Handstyle sweatshirt puts Los Angeles in a raw graffiti script with a halo up front for people who know LA from street level. Wear it for churros on Olvera Street, a morning walk through Elysian Park before the heat, the Santa Monica Pier at dusk when the wheel lights up, or a taco crawl through Lincoln Heights with friends who know every stand. Heavyweight, oversized organic cotton for cool evenings near the water. A gift for neighborhood loyalists and a Los Angeles souvenir that came from the street, not a gift shop.

Colors may appear slightly different due to your screen and our printing methods. Due to our eco-friendly print process, prints may have a vintage look and feel.

Fight With Purpose

Automatic donations to related charities

What's your deal, anyway?

Fair ask. We’ve been creating anti-fascist and progressive art for over 25 years. Chicago made us, but now we’re full-time nomads making art and products that espouse our beliefs in human rights and social justice. We design things for the communities we come from and the ones we fight alongside, with a portion of sales donated to causes we support. We’re stubborn, loud, and allergic to neutrality. No fascists. No excuses.

I don't see the style I want.

Most of our items are available in a wide range of sizes. Additionally, most items are available in various styles. If you see a T-shirt design you like and want it on a hoodie, check the hoodies section or use the search bar. You can also customize the style and color of most designs in the custom section of our website.

Feel free to contact us if you can't find what you're looking for, and we'll do our best to make it happen.

What causes do you give to?

We donate $1 of each item sold to non-profits and organizations supporting progressive, humanitarian, and justice-oriented causes around the world. All donations are automatically calculated and transferred to our charity partner every month to ensure compliance and timely processing.

What is your return policy?

We want you to love your Strange Gang goodies! If you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, you request a return for a refund or exchange within 7 days of receipt. Please note that all returns must be unworn and unwashed. Simply contact us at info@strangegang.com and we'll guide you through the process. Read more here. Important: Custom items cannot be returned for any reason, but damaged items can be replaced.

L.A. Stays Unruly

Los Angeles gets sold back to people in the most boring way possible. Beige apartments. Wellness branding. Sunset photos with all the actual life cropped out. Strange Allies made Los Angeles Handstyle for people who know the city is way too chaotic, weird, territorial, and alive to be reduced like that. The design stacks Los Angeles in our original graffiti handstyle with a halo over the top, like the city got blessed for refusing to clean itself up for anybody.

This pushes against the polished version of Los Angeles people are constantly fed. Not the real city. The fake one. The one with no noise, no friction, no side streets, no helicopters, no murals, no cracked pavement, no corner stores, no smell of street food hanging in the air while traffic crawls and somebody blasts music two cars over.

Real Los Angeles is neighborhood-specific and a little defensive about it. Echo Park is not Highland Park. Koreatown is not Venice. Silver Lake performs one version of itself while Boyle Heights carries another. The Valley will forever demand respect. South Central, West Adams, Hollywood, and East LA all move with their own history and pressure. That is what this design understands. It treats the city name like something claimed, not packaged.

It is for the local who can spot fake LA energy instantly. It is for the transplant who came through UCLA, USC, Loyola Marymount, or Cal State LA and ended up arguing about neighborhoods like they were born into the zip code. That happens here. Los Angeles sneaks into your routines, your route preferences, your food loyalties, your opinions about who really gets the city and who absolutely does not.

The sports obsession folds right into that. Dodgers loyalty is practically civic religion. Lakers culture lives in people permanently. Rams, Chargers, Kings, and Sparks fans all carry their own version of city pride, loud or subtle depending on the day. None of it is detached. In Los Angeles, style, neighborhood, and allegiance all bleed together.

That is why the hoodie and crewneck work so well for this design. Regular fit. Midweight. Good for cool nights, art walks, flea markets, warehouse shows, food runs, and mornings when you want your clothes to say something before you do. Street art fans will catch the handstyle first. Real Los Angeles people will catch the attitude under it, which is the part that cannot be copied.
