Olderbrother

Olderbrother is an American gender-neutral clothing label founded in Portland in 2014 by designers Max Kingery and Bobby Bonaparte. The label is built on slow fashion and natural dyeing, colouring its garments with ingredients such as turmeric, clay, charcoal and persimmon to create earthy tones. The range includes shirts, tees, tanks, trousers, jackets, vests and outerwear. Signature pieces include the Anti Fit Shirt, the Tee and the Tank in naturally dyed colours like Gold Clay and Red Clay, the Corduroy Cruiser, the Sherpa Chore Coat, the Waxed Windbreaker and the Waxed Puff Vest, along with its "Hand Me Downs" pieces. Natural dyeing sits at the heart of the label, and its earthy palette of clay, gold and charcoal tones ties the whole range together, from simple tees and tanks to waxed outerwear. All of the clothing is made and naturally dyed in California. Olderbrother works with materials such as organic cotton, hemp, silk and deadstock fabrics, as well as hand-beeswaxed Japanese broadcloth for its waxed outerwear. The label remains independent and is run by its two co-founders from Portland, Oregon.
