Cav Empt at Rezet Store
Cav Empt brings a coded, graphic-heavy language to contemporary streetwear, shaped by subcultural references, technical details and a distinctly digital mood. At Rezet Store, the Cav Empt selection is made for those drawn to experimental design, relaxed silhouettes and clothing with a sharper conceptual edge. The result is a collection where bold motifs, utilitarian construction and urban attitude come together in pieces that feel both wearable and unmistakably Cav Empt.
The origin of Cav Empt
Cav Empt was founded in 2011 by graphic designer SK8THING and Toby Feltwell, combining references from Tokyo’s visual underground with London’s music and streetwear scenes. SK8THING is known for influential graphic work for BAPE, while Feltwell’s background with Mo’Wax Records adds another cultural dimension to the brand’s layered expression.
The name Cav Empt comes from “Caveat Emptor”, often translated as “buyer beware”. It reflects the brand’s fascination with ambiguity, control systems and mediated reality, with references that point towards Philip K. Dick, cyberpunk imagery and dystopian sci-fi rather than conventional logo-driven design.
Signature styles
The Cav Empt range at Rezet Store moves between everyday essentials and standout statement pieces. Oversized hoodies and sweatshirts feature cryptic prints, layered graphics and a relaxed fit that makes them central to expressive streetwear looks. Outerwear includes technical bomber jackets with reversible designs, modular functions, asymmetric details and practical pockets, creating a retro-futuristic feel. Track pants, cargo silhouettes and shorts continue the loose, directional aesthetic, often finished with embroidered patches or leather accents for added depth. Accessories such as baseball caps and bucket hats complete the look with the same distinct visual language.
Materials and construction
Cav Empt combines comfort with technical expression through materials such as cotton fleece, French terry and ripstop nylon. Mesh inserts, leather trims and embroidered details strengthen the utilitarian feel while keeping the pieces easy to integrate into everyday wardrobes. Whether you choose a Vector Hoodie, a Grid Work Pant or a graphic outerwear style, the brand’s craftsmanship and conceptual approach give each item a clear identity.
