IT STARTED 3,000 MILES FROM CALIFORNIA

Specifically, in a freezing dorm room in Maine. It was the first time I ever saw Endless Summer, and the nostalgic glow of California convinced me to pack it all up and head West, to San Francisco.

That’s where my girlfriend “accidentally” threw out my softest vintage tee, and set me on a mission to recreate it. Soon, that turned into a whole collection of absurdly soft clothes inspired by the timeless, golden days in California. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Marine Layer makes clothes that feel as good as they look — broken-in from day one, inspired by California, and made to last.
