Origins of POS
Sophomore year of high school, summer of 2024, I needed to make some money. That was the whole idea.
Piece of Stitch started with $200 and zero clue what I was doing.
First haul was pure instinct — grabbed what looked good (it was not good), got back up and started learning.
What started as a summer hustle turned into something that couldn't be put down. The more that was learned, the higher the standard was raised. There was no going back to just grabbing anything off a rack.
The name is exactly what you think it is. P.O.S. When you're wearing something nobody else can find, not everybody's going to be able to handle that. Some will call you a P.O.S. out of pure envy. Let them. That's the whole point.
Hundreds of pieces get looked at every week. Most get left behind. Only the rarest, hardest-to-find, highest-quality pieces will ever touch the site.
This isn't just a shop. It's being built into a community for the ones who are tired of fast fashion slop. Every time a week of inventory sells out, the daily uploads double. This thing will only scale because the demand is real.
Started as a summer side hustle. Watch what it becomes.
scum of the earth
Fast fashion is one of the most destructive industries on the planet. It produces over 100 billion garments a year, poisons water supplies, exploits labor, and deliberately engineers clothing to fall apart — because a product that lasts is a product you only buy once. That's bad for their business model.
So they made everything cheap. Thin fabric. Weak seams. Trend-chasing designs with a three-month shelf life. They convinced an entire generation that clothes were disposable — something you wear twice, toss in a donation bin, and replace with whatever's on the algorithm this week.
The donation bins filled up. The landfills filled up. The planet filled up.
And somewhere in all of that — buried under mountains of polyester and fast fashion waste — was everything that came before it.
Real clothing. The kind that was built before planned obsolescence was a business strategy. Denim that gets better with age instead of falling apart. Flannels with weight behind them. Leather that develops character instead of peeling. Pieces that were made by people who gave a damn about what they were making.
That's what Piece of Stitch is built on.
We go through what the industry threw away and pull out what the industry could never make. Vintage clothing doesn't survive decades by accident — it survives because it was built right in the first place. Every piece we sell has already proven it can last. That's more than anything fast fashion ever offered.
POS. Piece of Stitch. Scum of the earth — that's what the industry would call what we sell. The stuff that got donated instead of bought new. The clothes that don't move units or drive quarterly earnings.
We call it the best clothing most people will ever own.
New arrivals daily. The fast fashion machine wants you to keep buying garbage. We want you to stop.
