Personal Joint
Personal Joint Clothing
Personal Joint operates as a grassroots Sydney-based brand that hand-prints their apparel locally, maintaining the DIY ethos that built Australian skateboarding before corporate involvement sanitized everything for mass consumption. Their graphics reference vintage adult entertainment and underground comics, creating clothing that definitely isn't appropriate for workplace environments or family gatherings. The hand-dyed and hand-sewn details add authenticity that mass-produced alternatives can't replicate, appealing to skaters who appreciate actual craftsmanship over factory efficiency. Their aesthetic serves as cultural gatekeeping against people who don't understand skateboarding's historically irreverent relationship with mainstream sensibilities. Personal Joint demonstrates that Australian skateboard brands can maintain underground credibility through local production and refusing to compromise their vision for broader commercial appeal.
