Mission control is on standby.

We manufacture our products on demand primarily for two reasons: 

  1. Sustainability: By producing on demand, we drastically reduce waste and the use of resources compared to traditional manufacturing. We don’t stockpile items which may eventually go unsold and therefore discarded. It’s a way for us to actively combat the prevalent waste issue in the fashion industry and ensure we’re doing our part for the planet.
  2. Quality: On-demand manufacturing allows us to focus on each piece we create, ensuring the final product meets our high-quality standards. It enables us to maintain quality control on a per-item basis, something that can be lost in mass production.

Each piece is made specifically for you, embodying our commitment to individuality and authenticity. 

At Smoking Astronauts, “Authentically You” isn’t just a catchy phrase. It’s a core part of our ethos. We sincerely believe in the power of individuality and the freedom to express yourself as you are, not as society says you should be.

In the fast-paced, trend-driven fashion world, it’s easy to lose yourself. We want to challenge that. Our mission is to create streetwear that allows you to highlight your unique identity while being conscious of our shared planet.

When we say “Authentically You,” we’re talking about celebrating your individual style, personal journey, and values. We’re about offering choices that let you express your personality and stand out from the crowd, not blend in.

But it goes beyond the clothes you wear. It’s about embracing who you are at your core, being unapologetically yourself, and using that power to positively influence the world around you.

We want to empower our community to make their own rules, write their own story, and rock the hell out of our sustainable gear while doing it. Because when you’re true to yourself, it shows. And that’s when you’re at your most powerful.

At Smoking Astronauts, being “Authentically You” isn’t just encouraged; it’s celebrated. We’re all in this journey together, so let’s make it one where we embrace our unique identities and make a real impact. 

That’s what being a part of the Smoking Astronauts fam is all about.

We’re committed to providing top-tier quality for every item that carries the Smoking Astronauts name. All our products are made using premium materials, crafted meticulously to ensure they stand the test of time. Whether it’s our streetwear threads or our home goods, we don’t cut corners.

But for us, quality goes beyond just the material aspects. It extends to the craftsmanship, the designs, and even the impact we make on the environment. That’s why we choose sustainable production methods and materials wherever possible.

We don’t mess around when it comes to quality. We want you to feel good about your purchase, not just today but years down the line. That’s why we’re playing the long game. We don’t just want to sell you items; we want to add valuable pieces to your collection that you’ll treasure for years to come.

To ensure we meet this standard, we have a rigorous quality control process in place. 

We’re not perfect, but if something’s not up to scratch, we want to know about it and do our best to make it right. That’s the Smoking Astronauts’ promise.

We’re on a mission to be the GOAT of sustainable streetwear, and that journey starts and ends with quality. So whether you’re shopping for threads, accessories, or homeware, you can rest assured that you’re getting the best with Smoking Astronauts.

We stand by our products and believe that once you get a taste of the Smoking Astronauts difference, you will too.
