“Troy Hooilhan of ‘InDaClubstreetwear’ sells Urban Street Wear online. This business was created to support a niche part of the market, which not many mainstream surf shops cater for. Traditional shops cater for large amounts of surf gear with little street & Urban products, it’s hard to find an exclusive Streetwear clothing outlet to cater for the people who want the latest brands and styles for outer wear either for in the club or just to wear in general.

Cool, Functional and Stylish. We stock the latest fashions from the newest brands, so you can be sure you're wearing exclusive gear the next time you hit the street or the nightclub.
