99 Based Clothing 

If you’ve been scrolling feed after feed and keep seeing that understated star logo and clean minimalist fits, you’ve probably run into 99 Based Clothing the Germany-born streetwear label that’s quietly become a go-to for elevated basics with a subcultural edge. This post dives into who they are, what’s in their latest drops, and everything you need to know about their core pieces — Hoodie, T-Shirt, Tracksuit, Jeans, and Zipper items — plus styling tips and FAQs.


Quick snapshot: what is 99 Based?

99 Based (often styled “99Based”) is a contemporary streetwear label from Germany that blends minimalist design, solid construction, and seasonal capsules that nod to skate and European street culture. Their collections lean heavily on quality fabrics, subtle branding (think small star motifs and logo embroidery), and wearable silhouettes that sit between elevated basics and statement streetwear. You can see their core product offering — tees, sweat, denim, and zip items — on their official shop pages. 


The latest collections — what’s dropping now

99 Based runs seasonal capsules and smaller themed drops (e.g., “Daily Garms,” “Playground,” and summer/spring capsules). Recent activity from their official channels shows regular releases of T-shirts, mohair quarter-zips, outlined-star jeans, stripe zip hoodies, and tech pants — plus occasional collabs and pop-up drops in European cities. Their Instagram is the best place to catch drop teasers and in-store events.  

Highlights from current/very recent collections:

  • Daily Garms — a roll of core pieces: logo zip hoodies, crewnecks, sweatpants, and relaxed tees in seasonal colors. These are the reliable basics with updated fits and finishes. 

  • Playground / Seasonal Capsules — featured more experimental fabrics (mohair quarter-zips, outlined denim, technical pants) and limited runs that tend to sell fast online and in pop-ups. 

Expect restocks and small limited runs rather than massive evergreen inventories. The brand positions itself between accessibility and scarcity — staples with occasional premium or limited pieces.


Deep dive: the five pieces you asked about

1) Hoodie

99 Based hoodies are a cornerstone. They range from classic pullover crewnecks to zip hoodies and “deconstructed” or washed variations. Typical details: heavy cotton (high GSM), brushed interior for warmth, boxy or slightly cropped silhouettes, and subtle logo/“99BSD” distressing for that worn-in vibe. The Zip Hoodie (and logo zip pieces) is frequently listed in the “Daily Garms” drop and often sells out in popular sizes.  

Styling Tips: wear a slightly oversized hoodie under a lightweight jacket for layered streetwear energy, or pair a cropped boxy hoodie with high-rise jeans for balanced proportions.

2) T-Shirt

Their tees are straightforward but built for longevity — good weights (often mid- to heavy-weight cotton blends), small embroidered logos or chest prints, and a fitted—but not tight—cut. Summer capsule T-shirts drop in larger quantities and come in capsule themes like “DreamingBusy” where multiple graphic tees release together.  

Styling Tips: a clean logo T-shirt is the easiest way to nod to the brand without overdoing it — tuck into relaxed denim and add a chunky sneaker.

3) Tracksuit

Tracksuits from 99 Based follow that elevated basics rule: refined cuts, ribbed cuffs, and coordinated fabric sets (sweatpants + crew or zip hoodie). You’ll see both classic sport-style tracksuits and more fashion-forward sweat sets with unique details (contrast ribbing, embroidered stars). Tracksuit drops tend to accompany seasonal collections and often come in matching colors to encourage full-set looks. 

Styling Tips: run the full set for a cohesive on-duty look, or break it up — pair the sweatpants with a structured jacket or the track top with tailored trousers.

4) Jeans

Denim in their line-up is frequently described as “outlined stars” or slightly experimental fits — they combine classic denim construction with small brand flourishes: patching, embroidered motifs, and washes that read lived-in. The brand’s denim is designed to sit well with their sweat and knitwear, creating that effortless street-to-smart hybrid. 

Styling Tips: let the jeans be the focal point — a simple white tee and a bold zip hoodie layered over a longline tee works great.

5) Zipper 

Zip items are a recurring favorite: zip hoodies, zip jackets, and quarter-zips in mohair or heavier cotton. The zip construction makes these pieces versatile — easy to layer, adjustable venting, and an instant switch between casual and slightly more structured looks. Pieces like the Logo Zip Hoodie appear frequently across the brand’s daily collection. 

Styling Tips: use a zip hoodie as an inner layer under an oversized coat in colder months, or zip halfway for a casual cropped look.


Materials, fit, and manufacturing notes

99 Based typically uses robust materials: cotton sweats at higher GSMs, responsibly sourced denim, and occasional luxury blends like mohair for special pieces. Many products list country of production (Portugal is mentioned for some staples), and the brand leans into sustainable production claims on selected lines. Fabric weights, fit notes, and model sizes are provided on product pages, which helps with sizing online. 

Sizing: expect boxy and slightly relaxed fits in hoodies and sweat, while tees may fit truer-to-size. Their product pages often include model metrics and “go TTS” or “oversized” recommendations.


Price expectations & availability

99 Based positions itself in the mid-tier streetwear market: quality-driven, not fast-fashion cheap. Prices will vary by region and retailer, and limited pieces can carry premium pricing. You’ll find core tees and crewnecks at accessible mid-range prices on their site, but special pieces (limited denim, mohair zips) may sit higher. Watch their official shop and regional stockists for sales or pop-up exclusives. Also note: reseller platforms sometimes list sold-out items if you miss a drop.  


Sustainability & brand ethics

99 Based highlights sustainable production on select items, and some product descriptions call out country-of-origin manufacturing (e.g., Portugal for specific garments). Like many contemporary labels, they’re balancing seasonal releases with slower, quality-first construction — smaller runs reduce overproduction compared with mass fast fashion. For item-level sustainability claims and certifications, check individual product pages or official announcements. 


Customer experience & community

The brand has a devoted community that shares fits on Instagram and resell platforms. Reviews vary by retailer; some customers praise the design and fabric, while third-party review pages show mixed service feedback — common for brands that ship internationally and run limited drops. If you’re ordering internationally, check shipping policies and return windows carefully. 


FAQs — Everything you asked (and didn’t know to ask)

Q: Are 99 Based hoodies true to size?
A: Most hoodies are slightly boxy; product pages usually note whether to “go TTS” or size up/down. If you prefer a slimmer fit, consider sizing down; for layering and a streetwear silhouette, take your normal size or one up. 

Q: Do they make zip hoodies or just pullovers?
A: They make both. Zip hoodies (logo zip hoodies / zip jackets) are part of the Daily Garms and core collections — great for layering. 

Q: Are 99 Based T-shirts heavy or lightweight?
A: Their tees tend to be mid- to heavy-weight cottons — built to last and hold shape. Sleeve and body lengths typically follow contemporary streetwear proportions.  

Q: Is their denim standard wash or experimental?
A: Both. They produce classic washes and more experimental “outlined star” or distressed variations in limited drops. Expect detail-driven denim rather than plain basics. 

Q: Where can I buy sold-out pieces?
A: Official restocks (if any), regional retailers, pop-ups, or reseller platforms are your options. Resellers may charge a premium. Keep an eye on the brand’s Instagram for pop-up announcements. 

Q: How does returns/shipping work?
A: Policies vary by country and retailer. Check the specific store’s shipping & returns info before purchase — the official site lists shipping details per region on product pages. If ordering from third-party resellers, confirm their separate policies.  


Final thoughts

99 Based nails a sweet spot: design-led basics that don’t shout, smart seasonal capsules that reward followers, and a clear aesthetic that scales from simple T-shirts to statement denim. If you value quality fabrics, subtle branding, and small-batch drops — and you like the idea of curating a capsule wardrobe with an edge — 99 Based is worth watching (and maybe camping the drop page for the next zip hoodie or tracksuit release)
