Our Story

The Meaning Behind the Name

Growing up on the East Coast, the ocean was just minutes from my front door. It was a constant presence that shaped the way I saw the world. When I eventually moved inland, I realized something vital was missing. I started using the word "seasick" the exact same way most people use "homesick"—a deep, constant longing for the sea and the lifestyle that comes with it. That feeling became the anchor for Seasick Clothing Co.

From a Drop to an Ocean

The idea first sparked back in 2014 as a way to channel that coastal connection. After years of refining the vision, the concept finally came alive in 2017. I built our first e-commerce website, started sharing the aesthetic on Instagram, and officially launched the brand.

Creating a clothing brand from scratch is a massive grind. It took a full, relentless year of building the site, designing, and pushing content before a complete, random stranger made that very first purchase. That single order was a massive milestone—it proved that this vision resonated with other people who felt the exact same pull of the tide.

The Aesthetic: Tattoo Streetwear with a Nautical Vibe

Today, Seasick Clothing Co. is dedicated to crafting premium tattoo streetwear with a nautical vibe. Our designs are a collision of maritime history and a rebellious, modern edge. We draw heavy inspiration from the bold, thick lines of traditional tattoo style apparel, deep-sea legends, and the flirtatious, lighthearted charm of classic 1940s naval pinups.

Whether it's a mythical kraken pulling a ship to the depths or a vintage bombshell bringing the heat, our gear is designed for those who carry the untamed spirit of the ocean with them—no matter how far inland they roam.
