Berkeley Apparel

Berkeley is a college town that happens to be a city, or a city that never quite stopped being a college town — depending on which end of it you live in.

This collection is the Hella Cali Berkeley design — California bear flag styling with Berkeley's name on it — on shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, hats, mugs, enamel mugs, wine glasses, totes, blankets and stickers.

What makes Berkeley Berkeley isn't the university, exactly. It's that the town organized itself around the argument. Telegraph and the campus at one end, the hills and the fire trail above, the flats running west toward the bay, and a food culture that changed how the whole country eats without ever making much noise about it. Walk south on College and you're in Oakland without a sign telling you so — the two cities blur at the edges and everyone here knows it.

Printed on demand in the US, shipped in a few days.
