Hug Your Homies

Hug Your Homies (HYH) makes upcycled apparel from thrifted and vintage clothing, predominantly cotton, using a combination of screen printing, cut and sew, bleach work, and tie-dye techniques to create unique apparel, all branded “Hug Your Homies” to sustainably promote mental health and suicide awareness, spread love and stoke, and bring people together. We started making stickers that say “Hug Your Homies And Tell Them You Love Them” in December of 2023 after we lost Jacob Guden to mental health in the Alta community. Since then we have tried to push this message out there as far as we can through upcycled apparel, hosting events, and youtube and instagram content. Our goal is to inspire others to really show up for their homies, and have it be a life motto, and in-turn, to save lives. I source/thrift everything myself, hand pick quality items with intention based on the style, feel (mostly heavyweight cotton for men and lightweight/flowy/corduroy cotton for women), and color pallet (mostly earth tones, blacks, and blues) that I feel matches the overall feel, aesthetic, and vibe of HYH. The types of clothes I try to make the most of are: T-Shirts, Long-sleeve Tees, Baby Tees/Crop Tops, Tank Tops, Button Ups, Denim Shirts/Jackets, Sweatshirts and Hoodies. My personal favorite item to make is denim shirts/jackets. I source landscape graphic tees, cut them out, sew them on the back of the denim jackets/shirts, then with the excess fabric from the tees, I add a screen-printed “Hug Your Homies” patch with people hugging looking out at the landscape. For the majority of the tees/sweatshirts/basic merch, I screen print my designs on them, with mostly eco-friendly water-based ink.

feralDISCIPLINE

Based in Salt Lake City, feralDISCIPLINE is where high-performance structure meets an untamed soul. We specialize in handcrafted, small-batch goods—including artisan candles, botanical bath soaks, and body scrubs—formulated with premium ingredients and a “refined-meets-rugged” aesthetic. Our products are designed for those who appreciate unfiltered honesty. Our signature candles pair sophisticated fragrances with witty, slightly “sweary” labels that speak the truth about the daily grind. As a former tech executive, I traded the boardroom for the maker’s studio, bringing a career-long dedication to “ruthless execution” and craftsmanship to every item we create. I founded feralDISCIPLINE for people who work hard, play hard, and value the ritual of returning to their most authentic selves. Whether it’s our narrative-driven scents or our high-performance apothecary, we provide the grit and grace needed to navigate the modern world.

EClare Arts

Emily Clare, or EClare, is a Salt Lake City-based artist and designer specializing in mixed media landscapes. She also dabbles in florals, cowboy culture, and crochet. She also applies her original artwork to clothing. Like many artists she takes most of her inspiration from the natural world. She is outside exploring any chance she gets and it has been a passion of hers since childhood. EClare is always taking pictures when out hiking, backpacking, skiing, or camping to use as references for her paintings. She grew up in Wyoming where her Mother is an avid hiker and her Father was a fly fishing guide and outfitter/hunting guide. When she looks at her work she wants to feel like I she in back at that location, and she wants others to feel this as well! Her work aims to convey the distinct personalities of each landscape.
