This is the "sustainable" clothing company founded and operated by Kelly Slater. The clothes are very pricey but the designs are actually kind of perfect for guys 35+ who aren't trying to look like teenagers but also don't want to look like their fathers either. I'm just looking to get a sense of how well made these clothes are before a drop a grand on, like, three shirts and a pair of jeans.
I bought a sweater that I like, but founder Kelly Slater is an anti-vaxxer so I told them to remove me from their mailing list (they demanded to speak to me to reassure me/con me).

Wish there was a list of where to buy clothes that support people that are not fucking sociopaths and fascists.

R1 Anti-Vaxxer? Hard pass. Too bad, because I’d wear much of these items. I’m with r1 on this. Anti-science people become invisible to me.

Kelly Slater should have tried to save his hair before saving the planet.

Very Todd Snyder-ish

The logo looks like a Jesus fish. No thanks.

R7 I sometimes buy from Todd Snyder, only when they mark it way down, and they really do mark it down. It’s a mixed bag, with some fugly goofy things, but also some nicer simpler things in cool colors and materials. I can usually find something. Sheepishly I sometime buy impulsively and then pass items onto my nephews. I want to look my age. Guys wearing surfer and skater clothing look like they have progeria after a while.
Snyder must spend a shitload on digital strategy. When I look at an item on their website, that same item appears everywhere I go on the internet. That must be expensive.

^I agree—but, also, their sizing is consistently good so I take a chance and ship it right back if the look doesn’t work.

I really like their stuff- especially those retro sweaters/sweatshirts (I am 44)
They seem to be going for a higher quality but slightly lower cost version of Aviator Nation-
Had NO idea it was owned by Kelly Slater or that he was an antivaxxer (and probably a repub and homophobe too!- Just a guess!)
