The Afterlife is your one-stop-shop to trade in your TREW outerwear, shop lightly used + repaired TREW at great prices, and explore unique upcycling projects from recycled TREW garments made by TREW-trusted makers.
Keep scrolling for a good time, and help us keep TREW out of the landfill one bib and jacket at a time!
We're always scheming on ways to turn old, ratty TREW into something fresh, new, and fun.
Every month, we drop a new project featuring one-of-a-kind upcycled items for you to shop and enjoy.
From one-off backpacks and vests to custom camping utensils, fanny packs, and mittens, we've had an absolute blast getting to work with insanely talented humans across the country to bring fresh life to recycled TREW items.
Looking through the awesome products and deals on our Afterlife Store, but have some questions before you pull the trigger?
Well, you're in the right place. Below you'll find answers to frequently asked questions (FAQ) and additional info about how we choose what products to list online, how we price each item, what sort of warranty coverage is included with each item, and more....
The Afterlife is currently only open to TREW outerwear (jackets, pants, bibs) products at this time.
The Afterlife is open to all, regardless of location. Those outside of the US are welcome to shop The Afterlife Store as well as trade in for store credit.
Pricing has been determined based on the overall condition and age of each garment, so you will notice that similar products may have variations in total price.
One of our primary goals with our upcycling partnerships is to ensure that we are compensating makers fairly for their hard work, which will be reflected in the final list price on the items you are shopping on our site.
The level of skill and amount of specialized equipment needed to work with our technical fabrics is very high. Many of the recycled garments also need to undergo small repairs and deep cleaning before they can be cut, patterned, and sewn. In all, the total cost of creating these products can add up very fast.
All Afterlife outerwear items available on the Afterlife Store have been lightly used, and are in good, great, or like new condition - as mentioned in each product name - and any necessary repairs have been completed by our trusted repair shop, Rugged Thread.
Each item is unique, and online photos will show the full item as well as any areas of repair, damage, or wearing that we deem essential for you to see before purchasing. If you have any questions before purchasing, please don't hesitate to contact us.
All upcycled Afterlife products available on the Afterlife Store have been designed and hand-made by our TREW family of independent US sewers using fabrics and components from recycled TREW Gear items. This includes all hats, chalk bags, totes, sandwich savers, or any other items that we felt made good use of old jackets and bibs.
You can learn more about past projects and Meet the Makers here!
Each item is unique, and we do our best to show it well in the online photos so that you know what you are getting. Again, if you have any questions before purchasing, please don't hesitate to contact us.
