Our Mission: Timeless Tees → Cleaner Seas
When we started our t-shirt company here in San Diego County, we knew we wanted to do things differently. We didn’t want to add more to endless racks of clothes destined for clearance bins or worse—the landfill. We wanted to design apparel with meaning and purpose.
Our mission is simple: create elevated, timeless apparel that appreciates the beauty in nature while reducing waste, protecting our oceans, and supporting a healthier future for our community.
It sounds ambitious, but for us, it comes down to living by a slow fashion philosophy and making every single shirt count.
Timeless, Elevated Design
Our apparel is designed to be timeless — pieces you’ll reach for year after year.
We take inspiration from surf culture, coastal landscapes, and the everyday beauty of San Diego County. Our goal is to capture the spirit of Southern California in a way that's authentic and wearable anywhere.
Appreciate the Beauty of San Diego County
We donate a portion of every sale to ocean conservation efforts—supporting organizations that protect marine life, restore coastlines, and advocate for cleaner, healthier oceans. Every May Gray purchase helps keep our beaches and waterways thriving for future generations.
Support Local Community
At our core, we’re a San Diego company. We love this place and the people who call it home. Supporting May Gray strengthens our community and fosters a culture of connection rather than mass consumption.
When you shop with us, you’re not just buying a shirt—you’re helping a small business thrive, supporting local artists and designers, and contributing to conservation efforts that protect the very beaches we all love.
Whether you’re a lifelong local who grew up surfing at Oceanside Harbor, a weekend warrior catching dawn patrol at Black's Beach, or a visitor who feels an instant connection to the Pacific, we made May Gray for you. Our apparel is a way to carry a piece of San Diego with you, wherever you go.
