the human experience,
in all its forms.

hopeless mope is streetwear for fearless humans. we make heavyweight cotton with hand-drawn characters that look like the way you actually feel. not the way you're supposed to.

what we make.

tees, hoodies, crewnecks, caps. heavyweight cotton, embroidered details, screen-printed in los angeles. small batches. nothing made to be thrown away.

each piece is paired with one of our characters. each character is a feeling. we keep adding them.

what we don't.

we don't make clothes to fix you. we don't try to turn pain into productivity. no slogans you didn't earn. no positivity that pretends.

we make clothes to sit with you. on the loud days and the quiet ones. for the times you can laugh about it. for the times you can't.

a note from cj.

i started this brand because grief was loud in my head and quiet in every store i walked into. there was nothing to wear that got it. not in a depressing way. in a way that didn't pretend everything was fine.

so i picked up a pencil and drew what I was feeling. for the days you want to laugh or cry. and the heavier pieces. for the days laughing isn't the move. same brand. same feeling. just different volume.

thank you for being here. wear the hoodie. text your friend back.
