Custom Merch for Skate and Surf Shops in Los Angeles, CA
Merch Mob makes house-brand tees, hoodies and crewnecks, and hats and beanies for skate and surf shops in Los Angeles, CA, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, only 19% of residents are under 18, below the US figure of 22% (Census ACS, 2020-2024), so adult sizes and fits lead the house line and youth sizes can stay a small add-on.

What Los Angeles's weather means for skate and surf shops
Summer can still run hot, with about 26 days a year at 90°F or above, so a light tee and a mesh-back cap belong in the summer drop even here. Even winter nights stay mild, with December lows averaging 48°F, so a lightweight hoodie or zip is enough fleece, and heavyweight pieces can wait. Tee weather runs March to November, so a tee and cap restock in late winter lines up with the long warm stretch. Several months a year get almost no rain, and only about 14 inches fall in all, so sunny-day staples like caps and five-panels keep selling.
