What to know about Mishka

Two logos do the work

The catalogue runs on graphics: the bloodshot "Keep Watch" eyeball and scrawled bear appear across T-shirts, hoodies, caps and accessories.

Punk, metal and B-movie horror

Artwork pulls from 1980s punk and metal, horror films, comics and skate culture, which puts it closer to grunge-goth than clean minimal streetwear.

More label than clothing line

Founded in Brooklyn in 2003 by an illustrator and now based in LA, it also runs a record label and sells seasonal drops and artist collabs through its own store.

How Mishka fits

Overall fit

true to size

Most shoppers report Mishka's graphic pieces fit close to standard US streetwear sizing, with a slightly boxy, skate-influenced cut that reads roomier than contemporary slim tees.

Tip: Order your usual US streetwear size, and consider sizing down one if you want a modern, fitted look rather than the classic roomy skate cut.
