About

Built Before Sunrise.

I'm Carlyle. I work early-morning sanitation shifts in the Triangle. Before the city wakes up, I'm already out in it: dark streets, cold mornings, the whole place still quiet. That's where City Clothing Line Co. started.

Raleigh, Durham, and Cary are three different cities, but they're one line to the people who live here, work here, and keep the place running. The 919 Grid logo has three points joined together, one for each city. City of Oaks is for Raleigh. The 919 is for all of us. And Built Before Sunrise is for everyone who's up building the Triangle before the sun does.

Every piece is printed to order, so nothing sits in a warehouse and nothing goes to waste. Drop 001 is five pieces made for the 919, and it ships worldwide for everyone who moved away and still calls it home.

Thanks for repping the city with me.
