Memphis sits on a bluff above the widest river in the country and has never once tried to be anything other than itself. Beale Street still runs blues out of open doors every night of the week. The Hernando de Soto Bridge throws a lit-up M across the Mississippi to Arkansas, and Big River Crossing lets you walk across the water on the old Harahan rail bridge. Overton Park holds a real old-growth forest in the middle of the city, Shelby Farms is bigger than Central Park several times over, and the ribs come dry-rubbed unless you ask, and you should not ask.

Our Memphis collection is built around that bridge over the river. The crewneck sweatshirt carries an M-bridge-at-sunset badge in blues indigo with a barbecue-sauce accent, warm enough for an October night on Beale or a damp spring morning at the river. The tee is a cleaner cut, a bold Memphis wordmark over the 1819 founding year, made for a June afternoon at Cooper-Young. The mug and sticker pack use the same artwork so the set holds together.

Everything is original art from independent designers, printed to order in the USA and shipped in days. It is for people born in the 901, people who came for the music and stayed for the people, and anyone who has left Memphis and still argues about barbecue with strangers.

Why we love Memphis

  • ✦Beale Street has had live blues spilling onto the sidewalk for over a century
  • ✦The Hernando de Soto Bridge lights up as a giant M over the Mississippi every night
  • ✦Overton Park protects an old-growth forest ten minutes from downtown
  • ✦Memphis dry rub is a whole school of barbecue, not a seasoning

Best time to go: May for the barbecue contest crowds and warm river evenings; October for cool nights on Beale and sunsets over the Mississippi from the bluff.
