About the brand

Poor Monkey is a Houston streetwear brand.

Founded 2026. A Yawstone Holdings brand. We make distressed-luxury streetwear in numbered, limited drops — no restocks. Sizes run to 4XL on tees.

Where the name came from.

Poor Monkey started the night our family received an anonymous, harassing message from someone who thought hiding behind a burner number made them brave. It didn't. What it did was hand us a phrase — and we decided to own it.

Every piece is a small act of refusal. Refusal to shrink. Refusal to be quiet. Refusal to let someone else's worst moment define our best ones.

If you've ever been underestimated, written off, or told you didn't belong in the room — this is for you. Welcome to the family.

The essentials.
