All of our clothes and accessories are designed in Los Angeles and many of them are currently manufactured in the USA.

Socks are made in North Carolina.
Totes, hats, some tees, and butt mugs are made in China, Bangladesh, or Vietnam.
Fashion inherently sparks fun and self expression, but at Worldclass, we think it can do more than that: it can also be a canvas for creating awareness and communicating important ideas. We’re not just here to look cute, but to start conversations we hope will lead to increased health and longevity in our culture as a whole!
And of course, our fashion is also meant to aid those struggling most with the threat of colorectal cancer. All net profits from our fab tees, sweats, and things will go towards supporting someone underinsured in getting a colonoscopy they have proven medical need for.
Worldclass was founded by two colon cancer survivors who were diagnosed with late-stage cancer when they were still both in their 30s. Sarah and Brooks both beat the disease and, once they had processed this life-changing experience, decided they wanted to create something that would help change the status quo around one of the quickest-growing cancers nationwide, and help others avoid getting the same devastating diagnoses they did.
And Sarah’s background in fashion and Brooks' background as a technology entrepreneur/behavioral economics geek seemed like good prerequisites for founding a brand just like Worldclass!
Quality and comfort aren't negotiable for us. Our signature sweatshirts and hoodies are made in LA by handpicked production partners — and we think it shows. They're thick, soft, cozy, and built to last. We hear constantly that people wear our signature sweatshirt all the time (same, honestly) because the fit just works with everything and the weave is amazing. Made in LA means a little more cost — but in our opinion, worth every penny. And hey, your money's going to a good cause in the end 😉
Here’s how to talk about your Worldclass gear in the wild:
🍑 Worldclass is short for “world class ass” - it’s colon-forward fashion
🍑 Colon cancer is now the leading cancer killer under 50 — that’s why I support colonoscopies!
🍑 Colonoscopies can actually prevent cancer by removing polyps in real time. Ass-tonishing, right?
🍑 You don’t look a day over 45…but have you had your colonoscopy yet?
For something to be tax-deductible, you can't get anything of value in return. This means that our merch doesn't qualify.
Donations are tax deductible because we are an official 501(c)3 nonprofit. So if you donate, we'll send you a receipt for your donation so you can include it on your taxes.
All net profits from clothing sales are automatically donated to our nonprofit foundation. However, to make sure all profits don't get eaten up by operating and marketing costs, we are also taking 10% of every sale and depositing that directly into the colonoscopy fund.
You can also make a donation directly, 100% of which will go to the colonoscopy fund.
Better than nothing — but not by much. Poop tests like Cologuard only have a 42% chance of catching a large polyp, which can give people a false sense of security. And no stool test can actually remove anything suspicious, so there's far less prevention value.
Colonoscopies give you a detailed, real-time look at what's going on up in there, and fix problems on the spot. Both options are covered by insurance starting at 45, so why settle? Give yourself the gold standard for your 45th.
Happy to! Here's the truth:
🍑 You're asleep. The procedure is completely painless, and complications are rare.
🍑 It's fast. About 30 minutes under anesthesia, with a skilled team watching over you the whole time.
🍑 The prep has come a long way. Pills, personalized sequences, options for sensitive stomachs — talk to your doctor about what works for you.
🍑 The flush is NBD. It's like a gentle breeze blowing through you for a couple of hours and you'll want to be very near the bathroom. The horror stories are plain exaggerations.
The fear of a colonoscopy is almost always worse than the reality. Ask anyone who's had one recently - "much better than expected" is what we hear over and over. You've got this. We got your backside.
Colonoscopies prevent colon cancer because they physically remove polyps from your body. Polyps are the cause of colon cancer, so taking them out prevents it.
A study has shown that a colonoscopy reduces your chance of getting colon cancer by up to 89% as long as you get one before you have any symptoms. This is a powerful case for cancer prevention. And since colorectal cancer is now the top cancer killer for people under 50, it's totally worth it to get in front of this terrible disease.
🍑 Polyps are the root cause of colon cancer. They're slow-growing, pre-cancerous clumps of cells - harmless at first, but capable of mutating at any point. No polyps = no cancer.
🍑 You'd never know you had one. Polyps look like tiny freckles, bumps, or skin patches. Polyps have no symptoms and there's no way to detect them without a colonoscopy.
🍑 They run in families. Ask your parents if they had polyps as family history can qualify you for an earlier colonoscopy. And if you grow polyps once, you'll likely need more frequent check-ins going forward.
🍑 A colonoscopy finds and removes them on the spot. The doctor uses a high-res camera and a tiny snare tool to painlessly snip out anything suspicious - all while you're asleep. It's genuinely cool (you just won't get to watch).
🍑 They're more common than you think. Nearly 1 in 3 people in their 40s already has at least one polyp. A skilled gastroenterologist should detect polyps in about 50% of patients — it's literally a measure of their expertise (called ADR).
🍑 Don't wait for symptoms. If you have blood in your stool or persistent pain, get a colonoscopy immediately. Finding cancer early can save your life.
We'd love for everyone under 45 to get a colonoscopy, but the system prioritizes highest-risk patients first, and the research on polyp rates in younger people simply doesn't exist yet. Until it does, guidelines won't change.
That said: advocate for yourself. The risk of colon cancer before 50 is 1 in 260 - low, but not zero, and rates are rising fast in young people. If you have persistent blood in your stool or pain (like our co-founders did), go straight to a gastroenterologist and push for a colonoscopy. That symptom qualifies you.
Your other best move: ask your parents about their history. Family history of colon cancer, rectal cancer, or large polyps can mark you as high-risk - and open the door to a fully covered early colonoscopy.
You're never technically too young for a colonoscopy because you can have polyps or gut health issues at any age. And colonoscopies are safe at any age.
But if you're under 45, you're going to have a harder time getting private insurance to pay for one without offering a "good reason" (such as symptoms or family history). Sometimes it's simply easier for a doctor to brush you off than give you a monologue about insurance policy, so it's important to advocate for yourself and research any cost implications carefully if you're looking to get an early colonoscopy (which of course, we always support!).
If your doctor is not budging after repeated efforts, consider seeing a new physician.
Colonoscopies are very, very safe. Complications occur in .01% to .3% of cases, and usually under the following conditions:
- The patient is older than 75.
- During the removal of a very large, complicated polyp.
- The procedure is being performed by a non-specialist (such as a general surgeon, primary care doctor, or advanced practitioner).
So if your colonoscopy is being performed by a board-certified gastroenterologist, the odds are in your favor!
Medical guidelines recommend your first colonoscopy at 45. But get checked sooner if:
Talk to your primary care doctor if either of these applies to you.
More likely than you'd think - and frustratingly under-researched.
Here's what we know: by your 50s, you have about a 50% chance of having a polyp. For people in their 40s, studies suggest somewhere between 1 in 3 and 1 in 4. That's actually pretty frequent.
For people in their 20s and 30s there's no solid data yet - and we'd love to see someone fund that study. Better numbers would help predict future colon cancer rates and make the case for earlier screenings.
Either way, the only sure-fire way to know if you have a polyp is: you guessed it, getting a colonoscopy!
