THE BRAND

Project Social T

Designed and sewn in Los Angeles since 2011 — started with one perfect tee, grew into a full range of California-cool knits, tanks and easy dresses.

LOS ANGELES · 2011

The stubborn contingent

Founder Mike Chodler grew up in his family's apparel-manufacturing business through the '80s and '90s, watching production trickle — then surge — overseas. He was among the ones who dug in and stayed put.

After an early juniors label called Realitee, he launched Project Social T in Los Angeles in 2011 with one goal: the perfect tee.

OUR PROJECTS

Compassion, tied to the cart

The range is still designed and sewn in the City of Angels, and it's grown from that one tee into curated collections carried at Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters and beyond.

'Our Projects' is the giving arm — a percentage of every purchase goes to a rotating set of charities nationwide.
