About us

Coasts and Currents Clothing Co. is a local apparel brand proudly based in Charleston, Illinois. Born from a love of laid-back style and durable design, the company creates high-quality shirts that blend Midwestern roots with coastal inspiration. Each shirt is crafted using premium fabrics chosen for their comfort, strength, and sustainability. The name reflects the brand’s ethos—“Coasts” for calm, timeless design, and “Currents” for creativity and motion. Coasts and Currents began in a small garage, where a few screen-printed tees sparked a loyal following. Today, the brand continues to grow while staying true to its handmade, small-batch approach. Their signature pieces feature relaxed fits, subtle textures, and natural color palettes inspired by land and sea. Locally sourced materials and ethical production are key to their process. Every stitch tells a story, connecting wearers to the places and people behind the product. The team values community, partnering with other small businesses throughout Illinois. Sustainability, simplicity, and storytelling guide everything they do. Coasts and Currents isn’t just about what you wear—it’s about where you’re going. Remember, wear the Paradise, live the paradise.
