/ 02 — Collection
Pieces that follow practice.
Garments for film study, late meals, travel days, and the quiet reset after competition. Inventory is pulled directly from Shopify — so what you see is what's actually shippable.
/ 03 — Process
Rest without losing your edge.
Merit is designed for the space between sessions: warm-ups cooled down, phones on silent, shoulders dropped. Durable for team travel, quiet enough for everyday wear.

Garment-first
Cut for the body, not the photo.
Heavyweight 14oz cotton. Brushed inside. Drop shoulder, longline body, ribbed cuffs that hold after a season of travel.

Quiet branding
MA monogram, chest. Nothing else.
A club mark, not a logo wall. Visible in a team room. Invisible from across the cafeteria.
- 03 / 04
Made-to-order
We don't run inventory we can't sell.
Production opens for short windows. Garments ship in 14–21 days. The waste profile is a feature, not a footnote.
