Winged badge tee with moto attitude
The winged artwork on the back of this one looks like it belongs on the wall of a motorcycle workshop – which funnily enough is how Deus started out. We quite like the brand's self-appointed slogan, 'Purveyors of Possibility', and we're a bit sad they thought of it first. This straightforward tee is cut in Deus's usual relaxed boxy fit, and the combed organic cotton jersey fabric is soft against the skin from the first wear thanks to a heavy enzyme stonewash.

What do you get when you cross a legendary surfwear entrepreneur with a serious motorcycle addiction and a healthy disregard for tribal boundaries? Well, you get Deus ex Machina – the brand that's been proving since 2006 that there's no rule saying you can't love both the roar of a café racer and the whisper of a perfect barrel.
Founded by Dare Jennings (he of iconic surf brand Mambo), Deus started life as a custom motorbike workshop and coffee house in the Sydney suburb of Camperdown. The radical idea? Instead of shoehorning people into outdoor tribes – bikers, surfers, skaters, cyclists or whatever – why not just celebrate whatever gets you fired up? Their workshop soon transformed into a 'run-what-you-brung' social and creative space, known locally as the 'Temple of Enthusiasm'.
From those early days of engine oil, freshly brewed coffee and dawn raids on the Pacific Ocean, Deus has grown into a global phenomenon. Their clothing captures that same anything-goes spirit – sun-bleached graphics that look like they've survived their fair share of backroad adventures, vintage-inspired cuts that work equally well on the beach or in the workshop, and a lived-in aesthetic that's catnip to the adventurous. Because at the end of the day, whether you're into one particular outdoor activity or all of them – as Deus would say, 'it's all the same juice'.
