About BLCKWEAR
Dark Clothes for Dark Minds
"People who are into darkness, heavy riffs, and horror also deserve real quality gear. That’s why I created BLCKWEAR."
– Arne Kaupang, BLCKWEAR founder
Born and raised in Norway, the country of dark and cold winters, I created BLCKWEAR for everyone drawn to the darker side of art, music, and expression.
Metal, horror, goth, occult imagery — these worlds have shaped me for decades. But the clothing tied to these scenes has almost always been the same: low-quality, disposable.
After 25+ years as a graphic designer and a lifetime inspired by dark subcultures, I wanted something better. So I decided to create it myself.
WHY I STARTED BLCKWEAR
People who live and breathe dark aesthetics deserve clothing that carries the same weight.
BLCKWEAR is my answer: heavy quality fabrics, eco-friendly organic cotton, clean cuts, and artwork from real underground artists. Pieces made to feel good to wear, look dark, and last.
MADE TO ENDURE
Every item is crafted in Portugal with ethical production and serious fabric weight. T-shirts that feel solid but soft. Hoodies built like armor — oversized, durable, and designed for daily wear. This isn’t fast fashion. This is dark wear built with craftmanship and intention.
ROOTED IN NORWEGIAN DARKNESS
BLCKWEAR carries the quiet intensity of Norway — the forests, the mountains, the long shadows, the old myths. It’s not decoration. It’s the atmosphere behind everything we create.
Our graphics come from underground artists who understand dark culture — horror, metal, goth, occult illustration, and everything in between.
FOR DARK MINDS OF ALL KINDS
Whether you’re into metal, horror, goth, or just drawn to darker visuals, BLCKWEAR is your space. Made for outsiders, introverts, deep thinkers, and anyone who feels at home in the shadows. Darkness isn't negative — it is creative.
