Intro: Living your Best Plant-Based Life

Look, we all know how it is. There was a time where there was a clear-cut idea of what “going out” looked like. Nowadays, it seems more people are waking up and deciding to take better care of themselves. Whether you’re fully sober or just trying out that plant-based middle ground, chances are you’ve used your wardrobe as a means of expressing those intentions.

Donning premium sober apparel isn’t about buying just another shirt – it’s about publicly embracing your newfound lifestyle and holding yourself to the boundaries you’ve set. At Hectares, we pride ourselves on enhancing moments when you’re able to be 100% present. We use transparency as our guide and uphold the highest standards across all of our products. That includes our clothing line – we believe your gear should be an extension of your daily ritual no matter what you have planned.

Shirts: The California Sober Shirt Explained

If you haven’t heard of the “California Sober” trend yet, chances are you will soon. Flying off shelves from LA to NYC, the california sober shirt is a newfound style of sober living. Free from the confines of tradition and standard social pressures, the california sober lifestyle has found a happy niche for folks who want to take a cleaner, more intentional approach to feel good without the booze.

Navigating the world of sober apparel can be difficult. No one has time to sift through tiny font from brands who use mystery fabric and pay their workers unfair wages. Hectares has kept things simple. Our California Sober T-Shirts are premium quality designed for nuanced individuals like you. That sweet balance of ultra-comfy and plant-based conscious living.

Premium Sober Apparel: Clean Living, Classic Style

Sober apparel has been around for quite some time. Traditionally, sober t shirts were categorized by the medical vernacular or associations with recovery. As mentioned above, folks who practice plant-based rituals are no longer confined to "scene-y" clothing. The style is shifting, and we are here for trends that give you wardrobe options for every occasion.

That being said, here are a few staples we focus on when designing:

• Simple: We opt for clean cuts and powerful typography that speak volumes without being overpowering.

• Premium: All of our shirts are high-quality blends of cotton that fit true to size and will last you for years.

• Classic: You shouldn’t have to risk flashing half of your shirt when you put on a sober t shirt. We design for all body types.

Our goal is to help you build a complete rotation of sober gear, starting with that perfect tee.

Crafting the Perfect Cannabis T Shirt

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that for years cannabis t shirts have been bombarded with loud graphics and passed over puns. As the culture develops, so does your wardrobe. Cannabis enthusiasts are smart, and when they shop for apparel they want it to reflect that.

Nobody wants to wear the same old graphic tee they’ve had since high school, but you also shouldn’t have to pretend that being a cannabis aficionado is some far-fetched “spiritual journey.” At Hectares we focus on the details—down to the weight of the fabric and ensuring our prints will last. We aren’t trying to ride “hype” waves like other brands – we want you to wear our california sober t-shirt and feel confident that it was crafted with care.

Premium Products: Our Approach to “Classic” Design

We take pride in every part of our process. Because we create our apparel in-house, we’re able to check and double-check every detail before you checkout. That doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy having some fun with our designs. One of our best sellers is this simple rec wardrobe staple.

If you’ve ever worn a shirt that claimed to be “sh***e tear-proof”, you know how bad ones look. Our shirts are vibrant without being overly distracting and fit true to size. Wondering how to care for your new shirt? Read on! When it comes to quality apparel, there’s no excuse for cutting corners.

Maintenance: How To Care For Your New Shirt

Did you know that how you wash your clothes matters as much as what you wash? Just like you wouldn’t sprinkle vape salt on your dinner from the pantry, you shouldn’t ruin your favorite shirt from poor maintenance. Garments can only last as long as you take care of them.

Here are a few of our laundry tips:

• Always wash in cold with other dark colors.

• Tumble dry on low. And ALWAYS hang cannabis apparel to dry!

• Don’t iron directly on graphics.

Follow these few steps, and your shirt will look brand new for years to come.
