Youth Machine

SHIPPING UPDATE: About half of the orders placed back in November have yet to be shipped. You can blame omicron, supply chain issues, bad luck, or just us, but we’re happy to announce that as of this morning, after 3 weeks of being held up in customs, our blanks are finally en route to the printer so that we can satisfy each and every order. To show our appreciation for your support and patience, we’ll be adding extra products in every order that we ship out. We’re moving this along as fast as humanly possible. We’re sorry for the delay, but promise it’ll be worth it. Thanks again!

Our last Black Friday ever. Who copped?

Somewhere around year 2 of Youth Machine a mutual friend made an introduction to Ian and Rob of Bixel Boys. Our first collaboration was the iconic FREELIFE Longsleeve, which quickly became the unofficial stage uniform of prolific artists such as Skrillex, DJ Snake, Cashmere Cat, Vic Mensa, and Dillion Francis. FREELIFE became a movement and an ongoing partnership, and we all became close friends. To this day, we are still working alongside Ian on other projects. We will always be thankful to everyone who supported FREELIFE in those early years, and how it became such an integral part of the culture of Youth Machine. Come grab our first FREELIFE styles as we restock them for the very last time. Available for pre-order now through November 30. So much love!

Who rebrands during their last year? We do. New logo, new website, new episode of Weekend Abuse, and everything’s on sale! Go poke around. Over the next few months, we’re going to be constantly updating the site with stories, unreleased projects, and more surprises. This will be our farewell tour.

ANNOUNCEMENT: What a f**kin’ ride! We’re equally sad and excited to let everyone know that after 7 amazing years, 2021 will be Youth Machine’s last. This project, which we never imagined would live for this long, reach so many people around the world, or frankly that anyone would even care about, has introduced us to lifelong friends, allowed us to collaborate with some of the most talented people on the planet, and given us a platform to always voice what we believe in.

We could not have been more humbled by this experience, and are thankful for every day of the last 7 years. We honestly lost track of how many times we woke up, read an email or saw something on Instagram that we were tagged in, and said to ourselves, “WTF can you believe this is happening?”.

To commemorate the end of this era, we’ll be producing 100 limited edition longsleeves that will not be available for purchase. To get yours, simply make a purchase from our website between now and the end of the year. You’ll be automatically entered into a drawing where 100 winners will be chosen at random.

There’s too many people to thank or tag in this post, so I guess we’ll do that later.

Love,
YM
