Dave Ortiz is the creative force behind some of NYC’s most iconic street style pieces and a practicing artist. He’s also a longtime friend of American Giant, wearing our sweatshirts for many years—primarily inside out. That served as the inspiration for Dave’s capsule collection, INSIDE OUT.
INSIDE OUT is a limited edition reversible collection created by Dave Ortiz. It suggests the pursuit of authenticity, self-knowledge and vulnerability—literally bringing the inside out. There’s no wrong way to wear it.
Reverse the status quo. Think outside the expected. Be your true self. It’s all good.
