What to know about Sourpuss

Graphic tees carry the line

T-shirts are what the brand is known for, so the graphics do most of the work — expect the prints, not the cut, to be the reason you buy.

Punk, goth and Y2K mixed

The look pulls from punk, grunge and goth subculture dress with streetwear and Y2K cues, rather than sitting cleanly in any one of them.

Long-running, mid-priced alt wear

Operating out of New York City since 1998, it sits in the middle price tier — subculture clothing at everyday cost, not designer interpretation of it.
