Seven pieces sit in the Social Misfits Signature Collection. Six carry the words Edition Closed. One sun faded hoodie is still for sale.
The Signature Collection page at Social Misfits does not behave like a normal shop grid. Seven garments are listed with their prices still showing, and six of them carry the same two-word tag: Edition Closed. The lone exception is “The Remnant” Double Zip Distressed Hoodie, a $148 cut-and-sew zip hoodie in a color the brand calls Sun Faded Black, offered in four sizes from M to 2XL. Everything else, from a $150 vegan suede moto jacket to a $360 reworked Vietnam War jacket, stays on the page after selling through, with its specs and measurements left intact.
That habit of keeping closed editions in public view is what makes the collection read less like a storefront and more like a ledger. The oldest entry, a patched jacket called “Peace Now,” carries product photography uploaded in mid-2021. The newest, the open Remnant, was photographed in April 2026. In between sit a one-of-one battle vest, a hoodie the brand says took more than a year to develop, and a made-to-order screen-printed piece that moved to pre-order once its ready-to-ship stock ran out.
Signal. What happened: Social Misfits, the Los Angeles label built by the founders of Sun City Rags, keeps a seven-piece Signature Collection on its storefront in which six entries are marked Edition Closed and one remains on sale. Exact object: “The Remnant” Double Zip Distressed Hoodie in Sun Faded Black, $148, sizes M to 2XL, listed beside closed entries priced from $148 to $360. When and where: avail now through socialmisfits.world, with free domestic shipping on orders over $150; the Signature Collection is a rolling archive rather than a dated drop. Source: the brand’s own collection page and the individual product listings for all seven pieces, checked October 17, 2026. Why it matters: instead of deleting sold-out pieces, the label leaves them listed with prices, fabric weights and measurements, which turns one collection page into a running record of what it has made since 2021.

Social Misfits is the newer name on a label that began as Sun City Rags. The storefront, now at socialmisfits.world, still prints SUN CITY RAGS / SOCIAL MISFITS in its own masthead, and the old suncityrags.com pages now forward to the new domain. The Instagram account linked from the site footer still runs under the Sun City Rags handle.
The founders are two people the site identifies only by first name, Sabrina and Johnny. According to the brand’s own story page, the pair started the label in 2020, when the pandemic shut most of Los Angeles down. Johnny is described there as an award-winning songwriter and a Billboard chart-topping producer and artist, while Sabrina worked behind the scenes as a celebrity hair and makeup artist. Neither surname appears anywhere on the site and Johnny’s music credits are not itemized, so those claims rest on the brand’s own telling.
The organizing idea is a number. The pair framed their 2020 bet around Lucky XIII, which the site describes as “flipping a negative moment into something positive.” The same name sits on the brand’s fragrance, the Lucky XIII eau de parfum, a 50 ml bottle at $78 that opens on woodland forest and sandalwood, moves through peppercorn, patchouli and vetiver, and settles on clove and sweet smoke. It is the most reviewed product on the site by a wide margin, with 70 reviews at the time of checking and all but one at five stars. Several reviewers say they first noticed the scent on clothing that arrived from the brand, which suggests the bottle and the garments travel together more often than the shop layout implies.

Johnny also works under an artist name, Johnny Smoke, which is how he is credited on the hand-customized pieces. An earlier version of the brand story traced the apparel side back to his father, who ran a print shop in the 1970s, and that lineage shows in the product language: hand-pulled prints, limited runs, and, on some of the older limited tees, a certificate of edition signed by Johnny Smoke himself. The certificate is an early version of the same instinct that now runs through the Signature Collection page, a written record that a piece existed and how many were made.

The only open entry in the collection exists in two versions, and both are listed side by side. The Remnant Limited Art Print Edition came first, photographed in February 2026 and priced at $148. Its product copy sets a scene rather than listing features: a worn leather couch, guitars against a wall, instrument cases stacked up from years of use, a room where nothing has been styled. The brand places that room backstage at the Whiskey, a nod to the Whisky a Go Go on the Sunset Strip, and says it wanted the hoodie to look as though it belonged there.
The garment underneath is a 14 oz plush fleece with a brushed interior, a gunmetal double zipper that opens from either end, raw edge detailing, and fade and seam wear worked in throughout. The art print edition added a graphic to that base. It is now closed.
The second Remnant, added in April, is the same hoodie without the print in the same Sun Faded Black, and its product page lists cut-and-sew construction, and a relaxed fit with structure. In size M it measures 27.2 inches long and 25.6 inches wide laid flat, and the 2XL runs to 29.5 inches long. Two customer reviews sit under it, both at five stars, one noting that it could have been cut a little closer to the body.
Selling the blank version of a hoodie whose printed edition has already closed follows a clear logic. The art edition is the collectible; the blank is the daily-wear version of the same pattern. The copy for both leans on the same phrase about staying in rotation, and the blank is the one item in the Signature Collection that can still be added to a cart.

S.C.R “STEALTH” is the most technical piece in the group and, at $215, the most expend hoodie in it. Its product page is unusually candid about development: when Johnny designed it, the brand writes, they knew it was ambitious, and getting the fabric, cut and fit right took more than a year.
The result is a 14 oz fleece in 80 percent organic cotton and 20 percent recycled polyester, enzyme washed and sun faded, then embroidered black on black. The idea is that the embroidery barely registers head-on and surfaces as light moves across the fabric, so the artwork shows itself in pieces depending on the angle. The brand describes it as a wearable gallery. Construction notes read like a workwear spec sheet: five-needle double stitching, side gussets for movement, bar tack reinforcements, and 16 oz 1×1 rib cuffs and waistband in 100 percent cotton.
It was made in the USA in sizes XS to 2XL, unisex, with a note to size up for a relaxed fit and a label reading Extremely Limited. Because of the enzyme wash, the brand says, hue and contrast vary from one hoodie to the next, so no two came out identical. The STEALTH product video dates to September 2024, and its current photography was updated in August 2025. The edition is now closed.

Two entries in the collection are not editions at all but single garments. THE MAVERICK is a vintage military vest that Johnny Smoke customized by hand, priced at $280 and listed as one of one. The brand cites the classic punk battle jacketas its starting point, and the build follows that tradition: a custom military fur collar, rows of classic diamond studs, and S.C.R. patches, all applied to an original vintage military piece. It came in a single size, men’s L, measuring 21 inches wide and 26.5 inches long, and was handmade in Los Angeles. Its photography dates to October 2025.
“Peace Now” goes further back, both in the archive and in its references. At $360, the highest price in the collection, it is built on what the brand describes as an original, battle-worn Vietnam War jacket, reworked as a tribute to the 1960s hippie movement. The details are specific to that era: a hand-painted back design, an embroidered and hand-distressed “Peace” name tape where a soldier’s surname would normally sit, an original 1960s peace pin, a vintage Flower Power patch, and a vintage American flag patch. It runs roughly a medium, at 22 inches wide, 26 inches long, and a 22.5 inch sleeve.

The same approach runs through the wider archive, where earlier one-of-ones remain listed. “Misfit”, built on an original 1970s Army jacket from the Vietnam War period, paired a hand-pulled screen print with a vintage Special Forces patch, a Snoopy patch from an Air Force forward air control squadron, a U.S. Army name tape, and a second name tape that simply reads Misfit. Each patch on that page comes with a short note on the unit it came from, the same habit of documentation that shapes the Signature Collection.

The vegan suede Moto Jacket is the collection’s most direct piece of costume history. The brand names James Dean and Marlon Brando as its references, and the sil follows the motorcycle jacket Brando wore in The Wild One in 1953. Here it comes in black vegan suede with a matte surface, silver zippers and buttons, zip sleeves, and five pockets, three zipped on the outside and two inside. A smooth satin lining sits underneath.
The detail that ties it to the rest of the brand is a set of five custom S.C.R. pins, the same initials stamped on THE MAVERICK’s patches. At $150, sized S to 2XL and cut true to size, it was the most accessible jacket in the collection, and its product photography dates to December 2025. The brand frames it as a modern heirloom built for everyday wear, a phrase that could caption most of what hangs around it. Its edition is closed.

CHECKMATE shows how the brand handles a run that sells faster than planned. The $158 distressed hoodie was first offered as ready-to-ship stock, and when that sold out the listing switched to pre-order with a December 8 ship date. Its photography was uploaded in late November 2025, which places that pre-order window in December 2025.
Every unit was made to order, hand distressed and hand screen printed, so no two prints came out the same. The base is a 16.5 oz heavyweight French terry in a vintage wash black, with a gunmetal double zipper and a dropped shoulder. The brand calls it the Ultimate Hoodie and describes the target as the softness of a worn-in vintage hoodie crossed with the faded look of an old band tee. Sizes ran S to 2XL, with buyers advised to size up for a relaxed fit. The edition is now closed.

Read in order, the seven entries trace a clear arc. The earliest pieces are single reworked garments, military surplus turned into wearable collage, the kind of work that cannot be repeated. The middle of the timeline brings in developed cut-and-sew pieces with specific fabric weights and construction specs, like STEALTH and CHECKMATE, made in small runs but still finished by hand. The most recent entries, the two Remnants, show the label settling on a core pattern and offering it both as an art edition and as a plain day garment.
Around the Signature Collection, the rest of the shop applies the same thinking to other categories. The GRAIL tees, which the brand says grew out of years spent chasing the right drape, softness and collar, sell at $76 in Rock Cut and Classic Cut versions, in Smoke Black and Vintage White. A separate Limited Art Editions line prints very small runs by hand on the brand’s vintage-inspired cut-and-sew tees in Los Angeles. A VIP list gets first access to rel, and in July 2026 that meant a one-day head start on a new jacket before its public release the following day.
As of mid-October 2026, the Signature Collection page lists seven pieces, and only The Remnant in Sun Faded Black, sizes M through 2XL, can still be bought.
