About Us - Crew Avanchi

Crew Avanchi is a premium clothing and accessory brand, specializing in premium outerwear and athletic wear. The vision for Crew Avanchi began with the founder, Justin Shultz, who dreamed of creating his own brand as early as middle school. Inspired by his family's legacy of small and medium-sized businesses, ranging from farming, renovation businesses, landscaping, and to wedding venues to name a few, Justin cultivated a passion for entrepreneurship.


The name "Crew Avanchi" was established in the summer of 2019, just before Justin’s sophomore year of college. It was during this time that he met his roommate, friend, and future business partner, Freddie. The word "Avanchi," meaning "moving forward," embodies a positive outlook and the drive to always look ahead. "Crew" signifies the unity and teamwork that propels us forward together.


Our first products, Crewnecks, were launched in late fall 2019, just in time for Thanksgiving break. However, Crew Avanchi had to temporarily close due to the onset of COVID-19 and turned the focus onto finishing education. In July 2021, Crew Avanchi was officially registered as an LLC, with Freddie joining as a business partner and co-founder.


After extensive development, prototyping, and laying a solid foundation, Crew Avanchi officially re-released in September 2024. Our brand represents resilience, innovation, and the spirit of collaboration. We are dedicated to providing premium quality apparel that combines style, comfort, and functionality for our customers.


At Crew Avanchi, we believe in moving forward together. Join us on our journey as we continue to create and inspire.
