Corteiz built its name on T-shirts. Long before the cargos, the puffers, or the velour tracksuits, the brand started with a small run of graphic-printed tees out of West London. This page is the full CRTZ tee archive — every Alcatraz, every anniversary star, every flame, every web — at one shipping address.

How Corteiz Built a Brand on T-Shirts

How Corteiz Built a Brand on T-Shirts

In 2017, Clint 419 (real name Clint Ogbenna) launched Corteiz from West London with nothing more than graphic tees and crewnecks carrying the now-unmistakable Alcatraz Island silhouette. No retail partners. No campaigns. Just a password-protected website, an Instagram account, and a single graphic that came to mean rebellion against fashion convention. The tees did the heavy lifting in those early years. In 2021, Corteiz dropped a limited tee in Soho where customers could only get one by exchanging their London Underground travelcards for it — a stunt that turned T-shirts into cultural artefacts overnight. By 2023, the brand was confident enough to share a tee project with Supreme, an unthinkable level-up for a label that started with a single graphic shirt six years earlier. Every Corteiz T-shirt you'll see in this collection traces back to that founding logic — graphic-led, heavyweight, and built to be recognised on the street before the wordmark is even read.
Iconic Corteiz Tee Drops: A Visual Glossary

Iconic Corteiz Tee Drops: A Visual Glossary

If you re new to Corteiz, the tee lineup can look like a wall of similar Alcatraz logos. It isn t. Each drop carries its own graphic treatment, season, and meaning. Here s how to read them.

The OG Alcatraz Tee

The original. A clean line-drawn silhouette of Alcatraz Island on a heavyweight cotton tee, paired with theRules The Worldwordmark. This is the graphic that started the brand in 2017 and the one most fans buy first. If you only own one Corteiz tee, it s usually this.

4 Starz & 5 Starz Anniversary Tees

Released to mark the brand s 4th and 5th anniversaries respectively. The Alcatraz logo is crowned with stars — four for the 4 Starz drop, five for the 5 Starz — and treated as commemorative pieces rather than seasonal staples. The graphic carries weight inside the community precisely because the drops are tied to brand milestones, not collections.

Santan Flame Alcatraz

A FW23 favourite. The Alcatraz silhouette is wrapped in a flame graphic, available in orange-on-black and blue-on-white colourways. TheSantanname is a nod to UK rap — the same heat language that rapper Santan Dave brought to the Corteiz orbit. One of the more visually loud tees in the archive.

OG Carni Alcatraz

The Notting Hill Carnival edition. Same Alcatraz outline, recoloured in the green / yellow / red palette of West London s biggest annual street event. Carni drops are the most West-London-specific tees in the catalogue — a direct nod to the neighbourhood that raised the brand. Hunted hard every August.

Web Alcatraz Tee

A FW23 graphic experiment. The Alcatraz outline is overlaid with a web-pattern fill, giving the tee a darker, more textural feel than the clean OG. Often paired with darker cargos and outerwear in styling — this isn t a summer tee, it s a layering tee.

Rules The World (RTW) Tees

The wordmark tees. Where the Alcatraz drops lead with imagery, the RTW tees lead with text —RULES THE WORLDin oversized block lettering across the chest or back, no logo softening. These are the most slogan-forward tees in the lineup and the closest the brand gets to political streetwear.

Bolo Exchange & 99p Memorabilia Tees

Corteiz s two most legendary guerrilla activations — Da Great Bolo Exchange (2022) and the 99p Market Stall (2022) — both spawned commemorative tees. These don t drop on a schedule; they appear once and never come back. If you see one available, it s a piece of streetwear history more than a wardrobe staple.

Seasonal Drops, Collabs & Wildcards

Beyond the mainline graphics, the archive includes one-off drops worth knowing: the No Time 4 Luv tee, the Maos shirt, Reflective Alcatraz variants, football-jersey-inspired tees, and the 2023 Corteiz x Supreme collaboration. Most of these surface for a single window and disappear — which is why the tee resale market exists in the first place.
How Corteiz T-Shirts Fit (And When to Size Up)

How Corteiz T-Shirts Fit (And When to Size Up)

Corteiz tees don't fit like high-street tees. They're cutboxy, slightly cropped, and wide across the chest , with sleeves that sit a little longer than standard. The silhouette sits between a vintage band tee and an early-2000s sportswear top — structured enough to layer under a hoodie, relaxed enough to wear alone. One thing to know if you're buying second-hand or looking at older Corteiz tees: there's a difference betweenOG blank(the early Corteiz body, runs slightly small) andnew blank(the current heavier body, runs true to size). Most current drops use the new blank, but listings on resale platforms occasionally specify "OG blank" — and those buyers will tell you to size up one. For the standard CRTZ fit on current drops:stay true to size . For an exaggerated, oversized look:size up once . If you're between sizes and want the tee to drape past the waistband of cargos, go up.

Styling a Corteiz Tee: 3 Drop-Ready Looks

The tee is the most flexible piece in the Corteiz catalogue. Three ways it actually gets worn:

1. Classic CRTZ fit.Alcatraz tee, Guerillaz cargos, low-top sneakers (Air Max 95s and Travis Scott Jordans run heavy in this circle). The default West London look.
Shop Corteiz cargos

2. Layered into outerwear.Tee under an unzipped Bolo puffer or a Shukushuku windbreaker — the boxy cut of the tee holds its shape under heavier outerwear instead of bunching at the waistband. The transitional-season default.
Shop Corteiz jackets

3. Half-set styling.Tee paired with matching tracksuit bottoms instead of full hoodie-and-bottoms set. Lighter than a full set, more put-together than tee-and-jeans. The summer answer to a winter tracksuit.

Corteiz T-Shirt Frequently Asked Questions

Do Corteiz t-shirts fit small or true to size?

Current Corteiz tees (the "new blank" body) fit true to size with a slightly boxy, slightly cropped cut. Older "OG blank" tees from 2017-2020 run smaller — many resellers recommend sizing up one for those. If you prefer a more oversized streetwear silhouette on any Corteiz tee, size up one across the board.

What's the difference between the OG Alcatraz tee and the regular Alcatraz tee?

"OG" refers to the original 2017 Alcatraz graphic treatment — clean line silhouette, "Rules The World" tagline, no additional elements. Subsequent Alcatraz tees layer additional graphics on top of this base (flames in the Santan drop, web overlays in the Web Alcatraz, stars in the anniversary editions). The OG is the unembellished original.

What materials are Corteiz t-shirts made from?

Heavyweight 100% cotton bodies with graphic application across the chest, back, or sleeve depending on the drop. The fabric weight is what gives the tees their structured drape and resistance to shrinking through normal washes.

Can I buy Corteiz tees outside the UK?

The official Corteiz site primarily ships within the UK and operates on members-only drops. International availability is limited and often resale-driven. Our Corteiz-inspired tee collection ships worldwide — including the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and most of Asia — at consistent retail pricing.

How should I wash a Corteiz tee to keep the graphic intact?

Wash inside-out on a cold cycle (30°C / 86°F or below), avoid bleach and fabric softener, and air-dry flat. Skip the tumble dryer — high heat is what cracks graphic prints over time, regardless of how the print was applied.
