Sota Clothing - Timeline

 From class project to household name are a thousand steps in between. We dug through the memory box and pulled up some of sota clothing's most pivotal milestones along the way.
First "big" batch of tee's at Spencer's family home. He sold them at parties to friends and county fairs | August 21, 2012

 sota clothing launches Classic State, providing headwear that showcases the unique lifestyle’s of each state within our Union 

And of course, sota clothing is far from a solo ordeal. We've been fortunate to have endlessly creative and hardworking people join our team over the years, each having left their own mark in helping shape sota clothing to what it is today. 

sota's come along way since it was first dreamt up in a UMD classroom in 2011. Sometimes, especially when we feel overwhelmed, we like to joke that Spencer may have taken his class project a little too far! It's been a wild ride to say the least, and we are so excited to see how our story continues to unfold.
