GATZapparel is not a graphic T-shirt company, or a clothing line. We are not concerned with the latest trends or neon colors. We dont listen to any certain kind of music, or hang out with one type of crowd. We do not represent what most try to be, because we do not follow the status quo. We have our own way of thinking and doing things. We are the grinders, the shakers, the movers. This is as close to "members only" as it gets. We just happen to make clothes...
