What to know about Deus Ex Machina
A bike shop that sells clothes
It started in 2006 as a Sydney custom-motorcycle workshop, and the apparel still runs on surf and moto motifs — graphic tees, fleece, workwear and racing outerwear.
The stores are the marketing
Deus sells through "Temples" — combined workshop, shop and cafe spaces in Sydney, Bali, Los Angeles, Milan and Japan, alongside surfboards and bikes.
Graphics carry the mid-price range
Most of what people buy is printed tees and hoodies; the moto and surf logo work, not construction, is what you're paying mid-tier money for.

How Deus Ex Machina fits
Overall fit
slightly small
Deus pieces are generally described as fitting close to true to size but on the leaner Australian/European side, so larger or in-between builds often prefer one size up.
Tip: Most shoppers find their usual size works, but size up if you are between sizes, broader through the chest, or want a looser drape.
Medium confidence · based on 14 sources
By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | true to size | regular to relaxed, casual streetwear cut | Stick with your usual size; size up only if you plan to layer heavily. |
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly small | regular to slim, workwear and camp-collar styles run a bit fuller | Consider sizing up if you have a broader chest or prefer room over the shoulders. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | regular to straight, workwear-leaning | Order your measured waist size; the cut is generally not slim enough to require adjusting. |
| Jackets | slightly small | moto- and coach-jacket cuts sit fairly close to the body | Size up if you want to wear knitwear or a hoodie underneath. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly small | regular with a slightly trim chest and shoulder | Take your normal size for a fitted look, or size up for a modern relaxed drape. |
