Who is 99Based? The brand in one paragraph
99Based is a German streetwear brand that blends laid-back, oversized silhouettes with a slightly vintage, workwear-influenced aesthetic. Their catalog ranges from classic logo hoodies and tees to denim, zip-up styles, and full tracksuits—often offered in muted earth tones with occasional pops of pastel or washed-black treatments. The brand operates a number of regional and international storefronts and is active on social platforms where limited drops and anniversary collections create hype around restocks and releases.
The latest collections — what to look for (and where)
99Based drops seasonally and periodically releases capsule collections and anniversary drops. Recent and current highlights across official storefronts include:
Daily Garms & Shop collections: core everyday pieces such as Logo Zip Hoodies, Logo Crewnecks, logo sweatpants, and denim pieces appear under “Daily Garms” and the main “Shop” collection—those are the steady, restocked items that define the brand’s look. Many items are dispatched from Germany within a few business days.
Tracksuit capsules: the brand’s tracksuit offerings come in seasonal colors—hunter green, light pink, orange, grey—and often pair pullover/zip hoodies with matching bottoms for a monochrome street-ready look. These are frequently part of limited runs and sale rotations.
Denim and specialty pieces: 99Based offers selvedge and graphic denim styles (e.g., “One Family Selvedge Jeans”, “Shining Stars Jeans”) and occasional leather or puffer jackets in special drops. These items often show up in limited quantities and sell quickly.
Pro tip: follow the brand on Instagram and sign up for newsletters if you want the heads-up on anniversary drops or in-store exclusives—many hype releases are teased on social before they hit the web store.
Product spotlights & how to adjust them (fit, styling, tailoring, and care)
Below are practical, actionable tips for getting the best fit, look, and longevity out of five staple items: Hoodie, T-Shirt, Jeans, Zipper (zip-up hoodies/jackets), and Tracksuit. I’ll cover sizing choices, small tailoring adjustments, and care.
Hoodie
Why it’s a staple: 99Based hoodies are often heavy-weight, brushed inside, and intentionally boxy—great for layering and signature “street” looks.
How to adjust:
Size choice: If you want the traditional 99Based look, size true-to-size or one size up for extra drop and sleeve length. If you want a cleaner silhouette, size down one for less volume in the torso.
DIY adjustments: For a cropped look, have the hem professionally shortened by 2–4 inches (preserves the ribbing). To reduce sleeve bunching, a tailor can slightly taper the sleeve from the elbow down.
Functional tweaks: Replace basic drawstrings with thicker rope-style ones or add leather aglets for a premium feel.
Care: Wash inside out on a gentle cycle, low-temp tumble or air-dry to avoid shrinkage and to keep printed logos vivid.
Styling tip: Pair an oversized hoodie with slim jeans or tapered cargo pants to balance volume, or wear with matching sweatpants for a head-to-toe tracksuit effect.
T-Shirt
Why it’s a staple: Tees are often logo-driven and used as throw-on pieces or layering bases.
How to adjust:
Fit tuning: Boxier tees are excellent for layering under zip-ups or denim jackets. For a slimmer look, tuck the tee into high-waisted jeans or have the sides taken in slightly at a tailor.
Length adjust: A curved hem can be shortened carefully to keep proportions intact—ask for 1–2 cm removal at a time to keep the chest-to-hem ratio balanced.
Print care: Turn shirts inside out before washing and avoid high heat when drying to prevent cracking of screen-printed logos.
Styling tip: Layer an oversized tee under an open zipper jacket for contrast, or knot a longer tee at the waist when wearing with high-rise jeans.
Jeans
Why it’s a staple: 99Based denim ranges from classic raw selvedge to washed and graphic-heavy pieces—baggy and straight silhouettes are common.
How to adjust:
Sizing: For straight-leg or baggy jeans, fit by waist—these are designed to hang. If the waist gaps, a tailor can take it in (cheap and effective).
Tapering: Want a slimmer leg? Ask a tailor for a gentle taper from the knee down. Keep the original hem if you want to preserve raw finishes; otherwise, hem to preferred length.
Waist adjust without permanent changes: Consider waistband elastic inserts or a discreet tailor bar for temporary tightening.
Care: Wash infrequently (cold wash) and air-dry. Raw denim benefits from spot cleaning and infrequent laundering to preserve texture.
Styling tip: Let the hem stack slightly over chunky sneakers for an urban look, or cuff once for a cleaner, vintage vibe.
Zipper
Why it’s a staple: Zippered styles are versatile—wear open for layering or zipped up for a neat, compact silhouette. 99Based zip styles often feature logo placements and textured fabrics.
How to adjust:
Fit: If a zip-up feels boxy across the chest, sizing down may help; alternatively, have the side seams taken in.
Zip upgrades: Replace cheap zippers with heavy-duty metal or two-way zips (for comfort while seated) if you want longevity.
Neckline tweak: If the collar rubs, remove the zipper slider guard or add a soft neck tape for comfort.
Care: Zip it before washing to reduce stress on teeth and pullers. Lubricate metal zips occasionally with a graphite pencil or paraffin wax.
Styling tip: Zip halfway and layer a tee underneath to create a proportion play that shows off the tee while keeping a tailored top block.
Tracksuit
Why it’s a staple: Tracksuits are one of 99Based’s signature coordinated pieces—available in earthy and pastel tones and typically sold as matching sweats/hoodie sets. They’re perfect for uniformified, effortless street looks.
How to adjust:
Size strategy: Buy the top and bottom based on your primary fit priority—if you prefer a snug waist, size bottoms by waist and jacket by chest. Many prefer sizing the top up for slouch and keeping bottoms more fitted.
Elastic & drawstring: If the waistband is too loose, have the elastic shortened or replaced; this keeps the original aesthetic while improving fit.
Hemming sweatpants: For a cleaner ankle (no bunching), hem sweatpants to a tailored length—keeping cuffs intact is recommended for the tracksuit look.
Matching vs. mixing: If you don’t want full monochrome, mix and match tracksuit tops with slim denim or cargo bottoms to break up the volume.
Styling tip: Break the set with a long tee or layered over a denim jacket for contrast texture while keeping color cohesion with accessories (cap, beltbag).
How 99Based produces & practical notes about availability
A few practical notes shoppers often ask about: many 99Based products are produced in Europe and sometimes labelled as sustainably produced on product pages; shipping is usually dispatched from Germany within 1–5 working days for many items listed on the main shop, but delivery windows depend on your chosen shipping option and destination. Also, the brand uses limited drops for some capsule pieces—tracksuits and specialty denim sometimes sell out and appear in restocks or seasonal drops.
FAQs
Q: Where does 99Based ship from and how long does delivery take?
A: Many items are dispatched from Germany (typical dispatch windows listed as 1–5 business days on product pages), while the brand’s official shipping policy gives estimated domestic delivery of around 7–15 business days after dispatch depending on shipping method and location. Always check the shipping options at checkout for precise timing.
Q: What is the returns & exchange policy?
A: Policies vary slightly by regional storefront, but the brand generally accepts returns within a set window (some storefronts list 15 days, others 30 days) provided items are unworn and in original condition. Refunds are typically processed back to the original payment method after inspection. Always start returns using the returns page or contact form listed on the storefront you bought from.
Q: How do I pick the right size?
A: 99Based leans into oversized and boxy fits for many hoodies and tees; denim and bottoms may be true-to-size or slightly roomy depending on the cut. Use the product-specific size chart and, when available, model heights and sizes shown on the product page to judge fit. If you’re between sizes and want a slouchier look, size up—if you want a trim fit, size down.
Q: Are 99Based items authentic across different storefronts?
A: Buy from the official 99Based websites (regional domains like 99based.com, 99based.de, or verified retailers) and official brand partners to reduce the risk of counterfeits. Check product details, fabric descriptions, and store policies—legitimate sellers provide clear shipping, returns, and contact information. If a deal looks too good to be true on third-party marketplaces, verify by contacting the brand.
Q: Will pieces restock?
A: Some core items may be restocked; limited drops and capsule items often sell out and return sporadically. Follow the brand’s newsletter or social channels for restock alerts and drop announcements.
Buying tips & final styling ideas
Invest in the staples: A quality logo hoodie and a good pair of straight-leg jeans are the building blocks of the 99Based look. Buy the one you’ll wear most and style around it.
Balance volume: Since many designs are oversized, pair baggier tops with tapered or fitted bottoms for visual balance.
Layer intentionally: Use zippered pieces over longer tees to create depth and deliberate asymmetry.
Care extends life: Follow wash instructions, avoid high heat, and treat printed graphics gently to keep colors and fabric texture intact.
Tailoring is your friend: Small professional adjustments (waist taken in, pant tapering, hem shortening) cost little but transform off-the-rack into tailored.
Closing Thoughts
99Based sits in a sweet spot for shoppers who want wearability plus a distinct streetwear identity—signature hoodies, graphic tees, durable denim, and coordinated tracksuits all speak the same relaxed language. Whether you’re chasing the latest drop, hunting for a classic logo sweatshirt, or planning to tweak a tracksuit for a perfect fit, the brand offers plenty of options. Use the product pages and official storefront shipping/returns pages to confirm availability and terms, and don’t be afraid to use a tailor to get that downstream, elevated fit.
