About us

Worn on the El is a Chicago-born project that blends design, history, and everyday grit into apparel and objects. Each piece draws on the neighborhoods, landmarks, and myths of the city—created to be worn, collected, and remembered. We’re not just printing shirts; we’re mapping stories into fabric.

Our work moves between graphic design, photography, sculpture, and illustration, but the heart is always the same: telling Chicago’s story through bold, enduring design. Every collection is built with care—eco-conscious materials, fair production, and a commitment to keeping culture alive for the next ride
