Short-Sleeve Shirts & Button Ups
Button-ups and shirts have transcended their traditional roots to become staples in skateboarding and streetwear culture. Initially embraced in the 1990s skate scene as a counterpoint to the baggy t-shirt aesthetic, these pieces brought a distinctive crossover between casual wear and functional skate apparel. Brands like Xlarge, Polar, and Pass~Port have since reimagined the classic button-up through a skate lens.
The evolution of these garments in skateboarding reflects the culture's broader influence on fashion. From workwear-inspired flannel shirts that dominated early street skating to the Cuban-collar styles that gained popularity in the mid-2010s, each iteration offers both versatility and function. This collection at Brick + Mortar features selections that balance durability with the relaxed styling that has become synonymous with contemporary skate culture.
