better with age

Founded by vintage enthusiast Remy Milchman around 2016, Better with Age is a Los Angeles-based label built on the philosophy of longevity and anti-fast fashion. Milchman, who grew up surrounded by fashion, channels his background as a “punk skateboarder and environmentally conscious fashion school student” into the brand’s core identity. The label is known for upcycling and reimagining existing vintage garments, from Carhartt jackets to classic denim, transforming them into unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. This process of reduction, reuse, and repair provides a sustainable model within the high-end fashion space.\n\nThe brand’s collections blend streetwear’s bold confidence with the soul and history of vintage apparel. Signature items include reconstructed jackets, hand-distressed denim, and graphic t-shirts, often featuring energetic graphics, deconstructionist elements, and creative references to music subcultures. Each piece is designed to mature with the wearer, gaining character over time. By creating durable, timeless, and often handmade apparel, Better with Age appeals to a discerning audience that values individuality, craftsmanship, and conscious consumption over fleeting trends. The brand is carried by select luxury retailers worldwide, cementing its status as a cult favorite in the avant-garde streetwear scene.
