What to know about Ksubi
Heavily treated denim is the core
Collections are built around distressed jeans, denim jackets and cut-offs, with the box-cross logo carried across graphic tees, sunglasses, underwear and kids' wear.
Sydney label, now run from LA
Started in 1999 on Sydney's Northern Beaches as Tsubi, renamed in 2006 after a trademark dispute, and relaunched from Los Angeles under US ownership since 2013.
Priced through music-scene visibility
The mid-high pricing tracks its rap and pop following — Travis Scott, A$AP Rocky, Doechii and Charli XCX — with Y2K and punk-grunge cues rather than plain denim basics.

Overall fit
slightly small

Tip: Take your usual size in tees, but consider going up one waist size in the rigid or lightly-stretched jeans, especially the slim silhouettes.
