Denim shorts, short-sleeve shirts and tees. Ecko Unltd was one of the names that defined late 90s and early 2000s streetwear, built around bold branding and a much bigger cut than anything else on the high street at the time.
Size is the thing to know here. Ecko cut its clothing genuinely oversized, and a piece labelled XXL from this era is bigger again than an XXL today. That's the appeal, but it means the letter on the tag isn't much of a guide. We list the measurements taken flat, and that's the number to use. Old denim also stiffens if it's been stored rather than worn, and softens again once you've had it on a few times.

Common questions
Does Ecko really run that big?
Yes. Late 90s and early 2000s streetwear was cut far larger than current sizing, so an XXL from this era is bigger than an XXL now. Use the measurements we've listed rather than the labelled size.
Is old denim meant to feel stiff?
Often, yes. Denim that's been stored rather than worn goes stiff and softens up again after a few wears. It's not a sign of anything wrong.
What condition are these in?
We write the condition on every listing. Expect some fading and softening on anything genuinely worn, and expect us to photograph and describe a hole, a mark or a repair rather than gloss over it.
