Mister (Mr.)

To all our old and new supporters: When we started the INVS line our goal was to produce garments that we felt every man should have in their closet. As cliche as it sounds we wanted to update classics with a more modern fit and add our own details. We knew the name would change as we wanted to have a name that better fit our mission.

We never liked the idea of "disposable fashion," Uniqlo, H&M, and Zara. We feel that todays consumer deserves quality and lasting style at a fair price. I don't want to say affordable because that is relevant to how much you make. By a fair price we mean that depending on the cost of whatever we are producing we don't mark it up to an unnecessary price.

So the line is OFFICIALLY called Mister, abbreviated as Mr.

The whole concept is that we are making such plain and classic garments that we are going back to a time when YOU the MAN really wore the clothes. We don't want a cool guy image or the image of some guy who dresses "proper" all the time. We just want you to be you, whatever sort of man you may be.

Thanks everybody, here are the Mr.(Basics: Henley). It is part of our (basics) line which will always be available in-store and like everything we're always improving and switching it up.

Retail - $18 OR 2 for $30
Available - Instore or Online

Button Front Cable Knit

Here's a preview of something coming this winter. This is just a sample though it is actually gonna be 100% black wool. But the wool is really nice not that itchy kind of wool, it will be good for layering and not too thick or thin. The fit is like a modern fit so it won't be too slim so you can wear something underneath.

It is super premature and we are working on it now, but just wanted to show you guys.

Introducing GEMS

I wanted to personally thank our creative director Gem Mateo for all he has done for INVS and as a big thank you we have decided to name the toddler brand after the designer himself. I hope you all can agree with the change and see how this is the last piece to the puzzle.

For our first design under the newly named Gems toddler brand is "Boom Boom Pow" which is printed with a water based uv changing ink. When you go out into the sun the explosion behind the words appears.

60% Cotton 40% Poly for a nice soft feel.


Made in San Francisco.

Thank you Kaliya for looking adorable and Robert of City Picture Productions for taking the photos.

Leather Jacket Series: 02

Here is the first look at our Series: 02 for our Leather Jacket. We added a hood to the jacket over the 4" high rib collar.

Here is the dilemia, we are torn between releasing this in May when it is spring or wait till September when it is the right time of season. Since we have been getting a lot of people asking about how soon we are going to release it, we thought about pushing the release for May but at the same time September is such a great time of season yet so far away!?! What do you think?

With everything that we are doing with the men's collective, we can't forget the kids! Since we are now making our own blanks here in the city we will be introducing a v-neck for toddlers. Here are some fit pics of Kaliya, she is a cute four years old and her eyes remind me of a japanese anime princess. In the near future we will release our first design using our v-neck blanks and as always we will use some cool inks!!!

New Year...New Gear

Here is a look of whats to come for all of our kids tee from now on. With our kids shirts growing to where it is now we have decided to take it a few steps further and respond to the feedback we have recieved over the past year.

We know parents like to see colors on their children, so we are introducing these fresh and prismatic colors throughout the brand. The biggest and most exciting change is that these will be made here in San Francisco, even though it costs more to produce, we are happy to keep the retail the same. Since we will are making our own cut & sewn shirts, we changed the fit of each size to last with wear, wash and age. The shirts are made with a 60% cotton/40% poly blend for a heathered look with an extra soft feel. We believe in providing a dope product at a dope price.



With all of these changes we are still staying true to INVS and keeping the same look and style. Our kids tees also come with a free temporary tattoo, and we are still using special inks like color changing ink, glow in the dark, 3-D, ect!

Endless Ammo

Our newest brand that we added to the shop is Endless Ammo. The brand was founded in San Francisco and creates an Utilitarian and Adventure gear with a contempary feel. Military inspired functionality and a clean look makes Endless Ammo the perfect gear for that daily grind.

What makes the brands stand out is their patent pending pocket design which is call the "F-Stop" pocket. The F-Stop is made to be silent, fastener free and a secure pocket.


Here is my favorite piece the Long Range Patrol Hoodie which is a waterproof soft shell fleece lined jacket. The shell is treated with Nanoshpere technology by Schoeller.


Endless Ammo: Recon Thermal


Endless Ammo: Duty Polo
