Second life. Same gear.

Mark Maguire has been trading his Wolf Bears back in for a while now. We asked him to explain why, in his own words.

Give your Wolf Bear another life

One of the things I love about Wolf Bear is that when I'm ready to upgrade my shirt, I don't have to throw the old one away.

I can send it back.

If it's still in good condition, Ness and Harry clean it up, give it a little love and put it back into circulation. Someone else gets a great shirt without paying full price for a brand new one.

And I get credit toward my next one, 25% of what the shirt sold for when I bought it.

I upgrade. Someone else gets a good shirt. Wolf Bear gets another sale. Less goes to waste.

If the shirt has finally reached the end of its wearable life, it gets recycled rather than going to landfill.

I like supporting small businesses. I like supporting people who build something themselves, whether they're selling online, working markets or just getting up every day and having a go. My friends Harry and Ness at Wolf Bear are the embodiment of that.

They've built a system where a good product keeps moving.

Buy it. Wear it. Love it. Upgrade it. Give it another life.

That's the Wolf Bear I buy my tees, hoodies and beanies from.

How Rewild works

Send us an email first and tell us what you have. We will let you know whether it is one for resale or for recycling, and where to send it. If a weekend suits you better, bring it to the stall at The Rocks and we will sort it out there.

Postage in is covered by you. The market drop off is free.

You don't need your order number. We identify the piece when it reaches us and work the credit out then, 25% of what that product sold for when you bought it, as credit toward your next order.

If it still has life in it, we clean it up, mark it with an archive print heat pressed inside the left hem and list it as a one off on the Rewild page. If it's past wearing, it goes to UPPAREL for responsible recycling instead of landfill.

Already traded that piece in once? Credit is paid once per garment, so we'll take it back for recycling and send you a free shipping code for your next order instead.

To get started, email us at contact@wolfbearcollective.com and tell us what you have.

One off. Once only.

Every Rewild piece is a one off, priced on its condition and photographed as it actually is. You can see what is available on the Rewild page. When one is gone, it's gone.

Fair warning. The page is still filling up. There are only a few pieces on it so far, because bringing each one back to life takes longer than you would think. More go up as they are ready.

We also haven't had a chance to press anything, so apologies if they look a little creased. They have had a life already.

Thanks Mark. And to everyone posting us old shirts on purpose, you're our people.
