Outlier

Urban technical clothing, Brooklyn design since 2008

🇺🇸 United States, New York Founded in 2008 $$$

Philosophy

Technical clothing for the city, designed in Brooklyn. Fabrics developed in-house, limited production, zero compromise on materials. The brand that invented the technical urban pant.

History

In 2008, Abe Burmeister and Tyler Clemens asked a simple question: why is city clothing made from fragile cotton when technical fabrics exist? From Brooklyn, they created the first pants that go from bike to boardroom without sweat or wrinkles. The Slim Dungaree became a specialist forums cult, les passionnés has thousands of devotees dissecting each fabric like sommeliers. The brand refuses sales, massive inventory, influencers. Every drop is limited, every fabric developed in-house. On enthusiasts: 'far superior to any faux-technical pants.' But also: 'What happened to Outlier?' when the brand ventures into experimental territory. The debate between Slim Dungaree purists and experimentation fans never dies.
