Reality is a motorsport-inspired apparel brand building toward a full lifestyle catalog (rebrand). We're evolving from graphic tees and hoodies into a complete cut-and-sew line: pants, jackets, longsleeves, knitwear, elevated basics. Think alo-yoga + abercrombie & fitch combined. We're a fast-moving team and this is a founding-level design hire with real ownership over the product. We've shipped over 100,000+ orders and would love for you to be apart of our team and the future of the brand.
The Role
You'll own product creation end to end. Not just designing, but developing: taking a concept all the way to a finished garment our factory can actually build. You'll design the line, choose blanks and materials, write tech packs, and work directly with our overseas manufacturer alongside the founder to bring pieces to life. If you've only ever handed off graphics and let someone else handle production, this isn't the role. If you've shipped real cut-and-sew product and understand how a fashion product is made, keep reading.
