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.
