Sup! We created TEN OF CLUBS for the outsiders － the loud, the lost, the moshers and misfits － because that's us too. Join the chaos!
TOC is a creative collective fuelled by alternative music and Guinness. Inspired by alt rock and metal, we're dedicated to expressing individuality and rebellious spirit through unique, high-quality apparel and merch.
By combining bold design with premium craftsmanship, we empower music fans and promote self-expression. Be yourself. Be loud. Rock out with your TOC out!
BATS & BALLS
Launched on Valentine's Day 2021, TOC is our two-fingered salute to Covid lockdowns. It's why our award-worthy blog's called The Winchester. Where better to wait for all this to blow over?
Lockdown was shit. No pubs, gigs or festivals. It was a bad time. With no live music anywhere, our Skev created TOC as a way of connecting with the alt music community he missed. Recruiting mates and artists he knew from the local scene, he assembled the TOC Collective. The rest is history.
Would we have had the balls to do all this if a mutant bat virus hadn't screwed things up? Probably not. It seems lockdown was the motivational kick up the bum we needed.
PREMIUM APPAREL & MERCH
We're proud to give you exceptional customer service and high-quality products. Check out our 5-star reviews! We use only premium fabrics for our unique apparel. This ain't your usual, bog-standard, common or garden branded merch.
Our heavy hoodies are vegan and organic. Our signature graphic tees are made from 100% soft jersey cotton for first-class comfort. Trust us, you’ll feel like an angel baby swaddled in a cocoon of cloud candy.
We're regularly adding new items to our shop, many of which are special editions that sell out fast. To be in the know about new drops and deals, join our VIP mailing list. We'll even give you 20% off your next order as a welcome gift. Boom!
GIVEAWAYS & BACKSTAGE ACCESS
Join us on Instagram and Facebook to see what we get up to, both in and out of work. You can also win free stuff in our regular giveaways. You gotta be in it to win it.
We're stoked you've found us. We're a small business and it means a lot that you want to know more. We hope you'll stick with us on this journey to who knows where.
Stay cool. Spread the word.
