OUR STORY

Born Defiant . Built with Purpose .

We started Smith Carlos from home with a small SBA loan, zero industry experience, and a memory we couldn't let go of. Named for Tommie Smith and John Carlos - the men who raised their fists from an Olympic podium in 1968 - every piece we make carries a little bit of that history.

Teena Marie Classic Fit T-Shirt

Since Sade is being inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, I had to get something to commemorate the occasion. This shirt is exactly what ai was looking for! From her iconic magazine cover from “I-D” magazine that help push her stardom, what better shirt to wear for the occasion! The print is bright with vibrant colors on that pristine white shirt! A great purchase, I’m very pleased!

Sade Heavyweight T-Shirt

Love the short overall but disappointed that on one side the seam has an approximately 1 inch hole. Not a rip but an area seam was not finished in is my guess.

I needed to refresh my beloved old Whitney shirt and this was a perfect replacement. Super cool design and a nice hearty shirt. LOVE!
