Chessie chats with Landon about learning to screen print via YouTube, designing a queer themed Super Bowl T-Shirt & the merits of rainbow capitalism.

Ohio based Awarewolf Apparel was founded in 2015 by Landon Reed who had a vision of creating an LGBTQIA+ owned & operated clothing company inspired by street, skate & tattoo culture that broke away from the rainbow cliches.

Landon worked at US skate retailer Zumiez & although he loved the style of brands such as Stüssy, Obey & Hurley he noticed there was no brand that truly represented him & so Awarewolf was born.
