What to know about Flea-T
Reproductions of Squarzi's flea-market finds
Founder Alessandro Squarzi, also behind Fortela, collects rare 1950s American sportswear tees secondhand and reissues them; the name itself points to flea markets.
Tees and sweats, nothing else
The range is deliberately narrow: midweight and heavyweight 100% cotton crewnecks in plain, pigment-dyed and collegiate-graphic versions, with washed finishes and rubber prints.
Vintage-repro detail at accessible prices
Made in Italy, with some sweats produced in Turkey, and sold through heritage-denim shops like Cultizm, Son of a Stag and stuf-f rather than at designer prices.

Flea-T is an Italian T-shirt and sweatshirt label from Alessandro Squarzi, the vintage collector and entrepreneur behind Fortela.
