Overview

WEIRDO is a Japanese menswear brand launched in Tokyo in 2008 by designer Daisuke Koda. One of the derivative brands developed by GLAD HAND, it produces clothing, headwear, accessories, jewelry, and other items. Drawing on 1950s American custom car culture, hot rods from the 1920s to the 1950s, and monsters and collectible toys from the 1960s to the 1980s, its concept is “the adult delinquent = freedom and playfulness.” The brand continues to develop products centered on graphics featuring custom cars and monsters.
