01 // TEXTILE ARCHITECTURE

ENGINEERED FOR DRAPE, STRUCTURE & LONGEVITY

We do not manufacture throwaway blanks. Every silhouette begins with custom-milled long-staple cotton engineered to maintain its brutalist boxy structure through years of daily street wear.

SPEC 01 240+ GSM

COMBED LONG-STAPLE ARCHITECTURAL COTTON

Standard fast-fashion tees clock in at 140–160 GSM—flimsy fabrics that cling, warp, and pill after two washes. Chullos Republic tees are custom-knit from 240+ GSM (7.1 oz/yd²) combed long-staple cotton yarn.

FABRIC WEIGHT 240+ GSM (7.1 oz/yd²)
YARN COMPACTING Ring-Spun Long-Staple
SILHOUETTE BEHAVIOR Boxy Architectural Drape (Zero Cling)
SHRINKAGE TOLERANCE Pre-Shrunk (Under 2%)
SPEC 02 320 GSM

320 GSM DIAGONAL FLEECE & HEAVY METAL HARDWARE

Our full-zip hoodies and crewnecks utilize 320 GSM custom-knit diagonal French Terry. Dense enough to act as street armor, breathable enough for year-round styling across Lagos, London, and New York.

INTERIOR WEAVE Custom Diagonal Loopback
HOOD ANATOMY Double-Lined Self-Fabric (Stands Erect)
ZIPPER HARDWARE Dual-End Gunmetal Two-Way Zipper
POCKET ARCHITECTURE Bar-Tacked Split Kangaroo Pockets
SPEC 03 SULFUR PATINA

SULFUR DIP, STONE WASH & VINTAGE FADE

No synthetic flat prints. Each piece is submerged in a rich sulfur bath, heat-cured, and stone-tumbled. The result is a tactile, chalky micro-fade along seamlines that personalizes to your body the more you wear it.

DYE TECHNIQUE Submersion Sulfur Immersion
WASH PROCESS Enzyme Stone-Tumbled Patina
INDIVIDUALITY 1-of-1 Micro-Variation in Every Piece
HAND FEEL Broken-In Heavy Vintage Softness
SPEC 04 ANTI-SAG

1.25" DOUBLE-NEEDLE REINFORCED COLLAR

The quickest way a streetwear shirt is ruined is "bacon neck." We engineered our collars with a 1.25" 1x1 micro-rib infused with 5% elastane memory fiber and anchored by twin-needle chain stitching.

COLLAR HEIGHT 1.25" Structured High-Density Rib
ELASTIC MEMORY 5% Elastane Retention Core
SHOULDER TAPING Self-Fabric Internal Neck-to-Shoulder Tape
WARRANTY Zero Sag Guarantee (100+ Cycles)

THE STREET PHILOSOPHY OF LAGOS

Every drop is named and crafted with deep respect for Lagos street culture and ancient Nigerian heritage.

CONCEPT 01

IDAN MODE — THE AURA OF DISTINCTION

In Lagos street vernacular, an Idan is a person of exceptional ability, undisputed presence, and effortless composure. An Idan does not beg for attention; they command the room simply by standing in it. Our Idan Mode silhouettes reflect this mindset: clean, heavyweight, unbothered, and built with quiet confidence.

"Idan gan gan. Street royalty doesn’t need a crown when the posture speaks."
CONCEPT 02

ODOGWU — CHAMPION ENERGY

Originating from Igbo tradition, Odogwu denotes a champion, a titan of industry, or a victorious leader who achieves extraordinary results against all odds. It is the uniform for the relentless builder who lets their craft and victories do the talking.

"Odogwu moves in silence; the streets announce the arrival."
CONCEPT 03

DEY 4 WHO DEY 4 U — THE LOYALTY CODE

Lagos street brotherhood operates on an uncompromising moral code: reciprocal loyalty. You stand for those who stood for you in the trenches. This philosophy is stamped onto our heavyweight garments as a reminder to guard your circle and honor genuine allegiance.

"Energy is reciprocal. Keep the circle authentic."
CONCEPT 04

ASÉ OLOKUN — ANCIENT DEPTH

Olokun is the venerable Yoruba deity of the vast, impenetrable ocean—custodian of wealth, mystery, and primordial power. Asé is the divine life-force that causes things to happen. This capsule combines marine tones and deep stone washes to celebrate ancestral wisdom.

"Asé. May our intentions manifest with the power of the deep."
04 // ANATOMY & SIZING

HOW TO WEAR THE CHULLOS SILHOUETTE

Our garments feature a dropped shoulder with relaxed chest geometry, engineered to look intentional and structured rather than oversized and sloppy.

FIT DIRECTIVE

  • TRUE TO SIZE (RECOMMENDED): Delivers our signature boxy architectural cut. Dropped shoulder seam sits ~1.5 inches below the natural acromion, with the hem landing right at the mid-hip.
  • SIZE UP ONE: Delivers an authentic 90s relaxed skate drape with exaggerated sleeve length and extended torso coverage.
  • CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Machine wash cold (inside-out) with like colors. Hang dry or tumble dry low. Do not bleach. The sulfur wash patina will age gracefully.
