Meet the Happy Mess Sweatshirts: rescued sweatshirts given a second life with a whole lot of color, creativity & happy little faces.

This black crewneck is a little grungy, a little rebellious & a LOT messy. Bleached-out marks, scribbles and abstract shapes mix with colorful paint splatters across the front and sleeves.

And sitting right in the middle of all that chaos is a little READ BANNED BOOKS patch because sometimes your sweatshirt should have opinions too. 📚

The back has a less chaotic look with some simple bleach spots for those who prefer their clothes a little more statement and a little less weirdo.

Read banned books. Wear weird shirts. Question authority always.

SIZE + FIT: Medium/Large

ABOUT ONE OF ONE: Every piece in the One of One collection has been painted, dyed, altered or otherwise made extra WEIRD and given extra LOVE by hand, which means there will never be another one exactly like it. Each one is created by me, Kylie (Head Weirdo at Wear Your Weird), and my ridiculously creative friend Caitlin, who just happens to have the exact same shade of pink hair. We spend our art days in Caitlin's garage creating like mad scientists, combining our ideas, experimenting & seeing what kind of weirdness we can dream up together. I’m so grateful for her natural creative spirit and the magic she brings to everything we make. Most pieces start with one of my original designs before we add even more LOVE, but sometimes we find a curated piece that simply MUST re-enter the universe with a whole lot more flair & pizazz. 

CARE + PLEASE KNOW: One of One pieces are wearable art and should be treated with a little extra LOVE. To help preserve the added paint and dye, wash only when needed. When it is time for a wash, turn your piece inside out and wash it alone on a gentle cycle in cold water, then air dry. While every piece has been washed after completion, we cannot guarantee how long paint or dye will remain exactly as it looks today. Some fading, cracking or changes over time are part of owning a hand-altered piece, and the less you wash it, the longer those colors are likely to stay vibrant. (This particular hoodie does not have paint added and can be washed normally)

Because these pieces begin with different garments, sizing and fit can vary from item to item. The size listed is the size on the garment, but we cannot guarantee a specific fit. If you’d like measurements before purchasing, please reach out and I’m happy to measure the piece for you!

One of One pieces are all about the artwork, creativity & individuality that make them special rather than the expectation of a perfect, brand-new garment. And here’s a bonus: all that color, paint, dye & creative chaos makes GREAT camouflage for the normal stains and wear that happen when you actually live your life in your clothes. Chances are any little imperfections will be virtually undetectable to the civilians you encounter out in the wild, who will be far too busy wondering where the hell you got your shirt anyway.

ALL ONE OF ONE SALES ARE FINAL. Due to the completely unique nature of these pieces, they cannot be returned or exchanged.
