About Monksee

Monksee is a limited-edition apparel brand built around attitude, not trends.

We release a small number of designs each quarter. Every design is created as a statement — worn once, lived in, then retired. When a drop ends, it moves to Past Drops and doesn’t return. No restocks. No reruns.

That’s not a marketing tactic. It’s the point.

Monksee started in 2014 with a simple idea: make gear that feels honest. Design-led. A little confrontational.

Founded by an Aussie in Charlotte, North Carolina, it’s built for men who don’t need approval or labels to know who they are — men who value restraint, quality, and a sense of humour, and can spot bullshit a mile away.

The designs pull from culture, cities, cars, music, and moments that matter. Some are subtle. Some aren’t. All of them are intentional.

You won’t find endless collections here, or weekly “new arrivals.” Monksee isn’t about filling wardrobes — it’s about wearing something that actually says something.

Alongside the brand is Chimp City, our editorial outlet for ideas, commentary, and observations on culture, creativity, and life without filters. It’s part of the same mindset — say what you mean, make things you stand behind.

If Monksee resonates, you’ll know.
If it doesn’t, that’s fine too.

Limited Gear. Unlimited Attitude.
Every design is a statement. Released once. Then it’s gone.
