About Us
Hey — I’m Halen.
I started Scumbags & Scallywags from my bedroom in New Zealand when I was 15.
I’m a mountain biker and a rower — two sports that look completely different, but feel the same once you’re in them. Early mornings. Sore legs. Blistered hands. Cold starts. Long sessions. Quiet discipline. The kind of work that shapes who you become.
Scumbags & Scallywags exists to mark that grind.
This brand is built for the people who keep showing up when no one’s watching — whether you’re on the trail, on the water, or just trying to level up your life. It’s streetwear made to be worn off the bike and off the water — clothing that carries the mindset, not just the sport.
Every piece is designed locally, pressed by hand, and packed with intention. It’s not mass-produced hype. It’s not trend-chasing. It’s slow, real, and built the same way you are — rep by rep, ride by ride, stroke by stroke.
This is only the beginning.
And if you’re here early, you’re part of the story.
Welcome to the crew.
