Founded in 2015 by Matthew and Melissa Parvis, Fresh Clean Threads is all about helping people look good and feel great without breaking the bank.
What began as a tee-shirt subscription business operating out of a San Diego guest room—then known as Fresh Clean Tees—has since become a household name for well-made basics. In 2022, we decided to be more than the world’s best-fitting t-shirt. So, we changed our name from Fresh Clean Tees to Fresh Clean Threads to officially transition from a t-shirt brand to an apparel company.
Our original goal as Fresh Clean Tees was to make the best t-shirts for men. Our goal now as Fresh Clean Threads is to design and deliver apparel inspired by all of our customers. We want to make the clothes you want to wear, and it’s not just crew neck t-shirts these days (though black tees may forever remain our most popular product).
When we started Fresh Clean Tees, it seemed as if there were only a handful of options for men's basics. You had either department-store or big-box tee shirts —inconsistent, scratchy, and uncomfortable — or overpriced designer tees, and, let's face it, paying $40 for a single tee shirt feels wrong. So, we set out to change the game by creating a comfortable, stylish, and premium-style tee shirt that would be consistent in various colors and styles while not costing a fortune. Instead of pillaging your closet in search of your one or two favorite items of clothing, Fresh Clean Threads allows people to stock their closets with tees that make them look and feel their best day in and day out.
Our company believes in more than simply selling clothes. That's why we've worked hard to create a brand that our customers not only trust and love but also stands for something more and gives back to our team, patrons, and community. The more support we get for Fresh Clean Threads, the more we're able to pay that support forward.
