OUR STORY

Born Scum began in 2013 by Shea Gasser. Fueled by raw determination, couple hundred bucks in our pocket, and a vision. What started as a humble operation in a single bedroom in Bakersfield, California, has since grown into a global powerhouse, celebrated by those who live their lives outside the lines. Over the past 11 years, we’ve built something bigger than a clothing brand—Born Scum has become a movement that speaks to those who embrace the grind, the grit, and the freedom of standing out.

Our roots run deep in the DIY, motorcycle culture, tattoo scene, skating, playing shows, gym strength, hardcore, punk, and metal worlds, where self-expression and individuality define us. We’ve partnered with bands, tattooers, and artists who represent what Born Scum stands for: an unwavering commitment to authenticity and standing out from the crowd. 

Stay true. Never conform. We’re Born Scum.
