The Skate Shop Apparel Lineup: What to Stock (and What We Do Not Print)
- The full skate shop apparel lineup runs from tees at $19.88 to hoodies at $45.88.
- Cotton and fleece pieces cover the shop counter, the skatepark, and the drive home.
- Decks, trucks, wheels, and grip tape are not part of the catalog.
- Free plan covers 3 products, VIP unlocks the full 200-product catalog at the lowest base price.
Not every product in a 200-item apparel catalog fits a skate shop or crew. This is the working lineup, organized by what actually sells at a skate shop counter, a crew meetup, or a small skate brand drop, plus a clear line on what this program does and does not cover. Nothing here replaces your hardware. This is what a rider puts on before a session and after it.
Core Tees and Tanks
The tee is the entry point for almost every skate apparel buyer. The Bear Grips Airlume cotton tee runs $19.88 VIP base, with premium cotton and triblend options from $23.88 to $25.88 and an oversized boxy tee at $24.88 for shops leaning into a streetwear look. Tanks run $19.88 to $25.88 and move in warm months when a full tee feels like one layer too many.
Hoodies, Crewnecks, and Joggers for Cold Sessions
Early morning sessions and winter skateparks mean skate shop customers need warm layers, not just tees. The Comfort Soft Hoodie runs $36.88 VIP base, the Champion Performance Hoodie steps up to $45.88, and a crewneck sweatshirt sits at $34.88. Joggers and sweatpants run $39.88 to $48.88 for the shop that wants to cover a full head-to-toe look at the counter.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Hats for the Counter and the Crew
A hat is often the fastest-selling item at a skate shop counter, since a snapback or 5-panel is a low-cost buy and travels well as a gift. Snapback, rope, and 5-panel styles run $25.86 to $29.86, available printed or embroidered depending on the design.
What Is Not in the Catalog
This program does not print decks, trucks, wheels, bearings, or grip tape. The catalog is apparel only: tees, tanks, hoodies, crewnecks, joggers, shorts, and hats. Keep your existing deck and hardware suppliers for the board itself, and use this program for everything the shop, crew, or brand sells alongside it.
Building a Tiered Starter Shop
The Free plan covers 3 live products at a higher base price, a fine way to test a tee, a hoodie, and a hat before committing further. Self-Service VIP at $59 a month unlocks the full 200-product catalog at the lowest base price, letting a skate shop build out tees, tanks, hoodies, joggers, shorts, and hats into one complete branded storefront.
