Technical APPAREL Design Assistant / Product Developer (PART TIME)
Dark Seas, Loser Machine and OBEY Clothing are under our company name of One3Two. Established in 2009, our Dark Seas division began as a brand inspired by days gone by. Hailing from a coastal town in Southern California, surrounded by a rich history of surfing, fishing and military bases, we grew up immersed in seafaring legends. A collective of venturesome surfers, fisherman, divers, and artists, formed the core of the brand. Our ethos has always embraced the wayward spirits who chart their own courses and forever remain on the hunt for waves, fish and adventure.
