Kinda mid in the park and wanna distract from that?

Or maybe you’re like really really, good but you want even more attention (you’re so valid king) by wearing one of our shirts and making people laugh.

Orrrr mayhaps you’re a beginner and “getting railed” is inevitable (much like skiing).

EITHER WAY OUR SHIRTS ARE FOR ANYONE AND EVERYONE

so long as you are incapable of taking yourself (or life in general) too seriously.

What are friends for?

And then I got my friend Laila on board who for some reason shares my vision of bringing the good(ish) people of this earth dumbass shirts to eat shit on the mountain in.

And together we created SIIN - Skiing Is INevitable.

It all started with a dream….. no literally

We’re Laila and Niamh. Two friends that decided we’d contribute absolutely Nothing Of Worth™ to the world and instead make dumb shirts with stupid designs and unhinged phrases.

One day I (Niamh) woke up at 4am from ⋆˙⟡a dream ⟡˙⋆ where I made ski t-shirts that said “I love getting railed” and looked like they had been designed in Microsoft Paint.

Instead of doing what any reasonable person of sound mind would do (go back to sleep), I launched myself out of bed and started making them.

And well, it just kinda snowballed from there (no pun intended).

⋆⭒˚.⋆ the vision ⋆⭒˚.⋆

ཐི༏ཋྀ󠀮 making skiing/boarding feel less intimidating and more inclusive (where are my girls, gays and theys at?)

ཐི༏ཋྀ󠀮 taking snow sports less seriously (we’re literally sliding down a mountain on planks of wood y’all, and if that’s not inherently a bit silly to you idk what to say)

ཐི༏ཋྀ󠀮 having fun - none of that competitive ski(e)go sh*t. We just want everyone to have a good time :’)

ཐི༏ཋྀ󠀮 y2k - we do be yearning for our childhoods

ཐི༏ཋྀ󠀮 nostalgia (again, we love to yearn and our hearts are full of whimsy, shoot us)

ཐི༏ཋྀ󠀮 90s-200s pop punk/skate scene vibes. YOU SEE THE VISION RIGHT??

!!THIS IS A CHATGPT-FREE ZONE!!

If it wasn’t obvious just by looking at them, all our designs are created by us - frankly our designs aren’t intelligent enough to be AI.

Besides, Chat-GPT doesn’t have what we have:

⋆.˚✮🎧✮˚.⋆ undiagnosed, unmedicated and unhinged ⋆.˚✮🎧✮˚.⋆

PRINTED IN TOKYO

We get our shirts printed at our friend’s uncle’s shop in Tokyo. (I knew this guy, who knew this guy, who knew this guy)

We wanted to make sure we knew where our shirts were being printed and so, sure, it’s a little more expensive, but we would rather make sure the people printing our stuff get a fair wage, than produce shirts at fast-fashion prices.

WHY SIIN?

Living in Japan, you come across some pretty wild mistranslations.

I was browsing the Armada skis website and plugged a paragraph into translate. What I got was this MASTERPIECE of a mistranslation.

I was like “yo I gotta put that on a t shirt” and ended up creating this design as a joke. Turns out quite a lot of people also wanted it on a t-shirt.

I decided to name the brand after this mistranslation, and so the acronym SIIN came to be.

Besides who doesn’t love to SIIN?
