Food Merch is the New Band Merch

Los Angeles is becoming a new mecca for restaurant merch and food-wear. Sporting a tee or baseball cap from your favorite eatery is a badge of honor - a great way to subtly let people know you have a discerning taste in food without having to say-it say it.

We love some good restaurant merch here at abstract and we’ve been seeing some pretty nice stuff lately.

Here are five of our favorites.

 

Fig Tree

Fig Tree are in our top-5 for their nice, simple, cream crew neck. Because things don’t always have to be so hard-core. Just… pleasant.

 

Chifa

Chifa in Eagle Rock is pushing some colorful merch. This one is done in partnership with local clothing brand & manufacturer Everybody World, with all production done in LA.



 

Sauz

Sauz has made it onto the scene with their range of pasta sauces made for this generation (not your Nonna’s pasta sauce). And have released some great swag to go with it.

P.S. we tried the hot-honey Arrabbiata and it’s actually really. Really. Good.

 
 

Good Boy Wine

Now we’re getting to the really good stuff.

It’s true, this isn’t technically restaurant merch but I saw it in the wild last week and couldn’t help buying this bad boy from Good Boy Wine. I’ve worn it 3 times already. Yes I washed it in between! Hygiene.

It’s called the Dealer T tee. Get one and we’ll be dressed the samesies 🤗.

 

Badmaash

When I moved in with my Gujarati then-girlfriend-now-wife, bottles of Maggi started popping up all over our house. So Badmaash shamefully tops our list for personal reasons and because their nostalgic, Indian merch is badass.

Check it out here!
