Custom Merch for Skate and Surf Shops in Denver, CO
Merch Mob makes house-brand tees, hoodies and crewnecks, and hats and beanies for skate and surf shops in Denver, CO, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to Denver. Denver skews adult, with 18% of residents under 18 against 22% nationally (Census ACS, 2020-2024), so put the size depth in adult medium to extra large and keep youth sizes few.

What Denver's weather means for skate and surf shops
In Denver, July is the warmest month and about 42 days a year reach 90°F or more, so a tee for the heat and a hoodie for cool mornings both belong on the rack. December averages a high of just 46°F, so winter sessions are short and cold, and a cuffed beanie is the easy add-on at the register. Fleece season is long, November to April at under a 65°F average high, so plan the hoodie and crewneck run as the year's biggest order and keep tees for May to September. Roughly 49 inches of snow a year shuts down street sessions for parts of winter, so plan a holiday release that people buy as gifts, not as riding gear. Around 156 nights a year fall to 32°F or below, so fleece stays on the rack from fall into spring, and a lined hoodie can be the premium piece in the house line.
