Custom Merch for Creators in Bakersfield, CA
Merch Mob makes signature drops, evergreen logo merch, and collabs and limited editions for creators in Bakersfield, CA, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to Bakersfield.

What Bakersfield's weather means for creators
July is the hardest month for outdoor shoots in Bakersfield, averaging a high of 98°F, and roughly 112 days a year reach 90°F. Film tee content early or late in the day, and keep a spare shirt on set for retakes. Fleece gets a real local window from December to February, when average highs drop under 65°F. That window opens after fans in colder states have started buying hoodies, so film this year's fleece content then and post it with next fall's drop. At least four months a year bring under half an inch of rain, so the sun, not the forecast, is what to plan around: expose for white and light tees, which lose detail first, and use open shade for close-ups of the print. Expect about 35 days at 100°F or more in a typical year, so batch-film summer tee content in late spring, before the worst of it, and keep fleece looks in the studio. The yearly rain total is only about 6.4 inches, so a lookbook shoot planned weeks ahead will very likely get the dry day it needs.
