Our Favorite Made-in-California & Los Angeles Brands to Watch in 2026

While so many brands, big and small, choose to do their production overseas, over here at Ace the Moon, we take pride in producing the vast majority of our products in Los Angeles. Because of the fact that we work with local makers and craftsman, we are able to take on a hands-on approach, and ensure that every product we make is of the highest quality.  Los Angeles continues to be a mecca for all things fashion and apparel manufacturing.  You can drive around areas the size of Manhattan, that are filled with apparel-related businesses such as print shops, garment dye houses, cut & sew factories and the like. At the same time, the apparel industry in Los Angeles is a small and scaling even smaller community (unfortunately). In an ever-growing world of mass produced products made overseas, we feel it's important to keep this industry alive in America and Los Angeles specifically.  Here are our picks for some really cool clothing coming out of Los Angeles and our great state of California! 1.

Rather than leaning overly polished or country-club traditional, the brand feels personal, creative, and quietly cool — exactly the kind of label that earns “Where’d you get that?” questions. For fans of vintage sport style, indie tennis brands, and sun-faded California graphics, this is one worth following. Ace the Moon's Pick: 1972 Unisexy Tennis Shorts in Black Shop Laurel Canyon Tennis Club Why “Made in Los Angeles” Matters More Than Ever Los Angeles remains one of the last true apparel manufacturing hubs in America. That means: Smaller-batch production Higher quality control Faster product experimentation Closer founder involvement More original storytelling For shoppers, that often translates into clothing with more personality — less trend-chasing, more intention. And maybe that’s exactly why brands like Ace the Moon, Common Courtesy, and Big Bud Press feel especially relevant right now: they know exactly who they are. Final Serve: One Last Ace the Moon Pick If you're trying Ace the Moon for the first time, start with the Tennis Body Shop Tee. Equal parts vintage auto-shop graphic, tennis humor, and Southern California personality, it’s the kind of shirt someone inevitably asks about after a match.

From warm-up layers to post-match coffee runs, our sweatshirt picks will cover you on the courts and beyond.  There’s something about a good tennis sweatshirt. Maybe it’s the nostalgia of vintage country club warmups, the perfectly broken-in crewneck after a long hit, or just having something cozy to throw on after a brisk evening doubles match. The best tennis sweatshirts don’t just perform—they carry a little personality. Some lean heavily on heritage and classic comfort, some are sport-forward, and some blur the lines between court wear and everyday basics. Whether you’re heading to an early clinic, grabbing lunch after league play, or just want to look like you could have played Wimbledon in another life, here are our favorite tennis sweatshirts of 2026. 1. Ace the Moon — “That’s a Good Ball” Crewneck The unofficial uniform for people who appreciate good tennis and good humor. Ace the Moon’s "That's a Good Ball" crewneck" is made with 100% cotton, and has an adult/unisex fit. The slogan is a constant reminder to keep crushing balls until someone echos the words "that's a good bal!".  Made in Los Angeles in small batches, it has that soft, broken-in feel from the very first wear.

The best tennis sweatshirts hit a few key marks: Comfort: Soft enough to wear for hours after a match Versatility: Looks good with shorts, sweats, or denim Tennis personality: A subtle nod to the sport without feeling costume-y Fit: Relaxed, slightly oversized, easy to layer At the end of the day, tennis style is personal. Some players want classic country-club minimalism. Others want vintage graphics and a little personality. We tend to believe there’s room for both. And if your sweatshirt looks just as good courtside as it does grabbing tacos afterward? Even better.
