About

Recovery Is Earned,
Not Given.

The Brand

REPPIN 12 STEPPIN is premium streetwear for people in recovery. Not clinical. Not cheesy. Not a slogan on a cheap tee.

We make heavyweight, built-to-last goods for the people who made it out alive. Former gang members, street-affiliated individuals, retired hustlers who traded the life for a path of recovery. And everyone who walks that walk.

Every piece features a "Sober Badge" option: your clean date or year count, custom embroidered into the fabric. Your milestone, stitched into the uniform.

The Mission

Recovery culture deserves better than what's out there. The existing options are either clinical gift shop merch or throwaway fast fashion with clever slogans.

We believe recovery is the hardest thing you'll ever do, and the clothes you wear while doing it should reflect that strength. Built like workwear. Styled like the streets you came from. Branded like the community that saved you.

The Tagline

"The Streets Lied, The Steps Didn't"

The streets promised everything and delivered nothing. The steps promised nothing and delivered everything. If you've lived it, you know.

The People

REPPIN 12 STEPPIN is the brainchild of Tim "Smalls" Simpson, owner and master barber at Smalls Main Street Barbershop in Liberty Hill, Texas. Tim brought the vision, the original designs, and the conviction that recovery deserves better gear than what's out there.

Design and development by Travis Bonnet, Austin, TX. In recovery since October 2020.

Both alumni of The Arbor in Georgetown, TX. Different times, same foundation.
