Value proposition

Oh hey, we’re Marine Layer. A responsibly made, vintage-inspired apparel brand for men and women.

Marine Layer was founded in 2009 after our founder’s girlfriend threw out his old favorite shirt. He set out to make a shirt that feels broken-in, comfortable, and absurdly soft from day one. 14 years later, we’re a San Francisco based, casual apparel brand for men and women. We’ve custom-developed over 100 absurdly soft fabrics, (like, the softest thing you’ll ever wear) opened 45+ brick-and-mortar locations, and recycled 500K tee shirts (and counting) through our one-of-a-kind Re-Spun program. And to top things off, we became B Corp certified earlier this year. Heyo!

Inspired by vintage clothing, music, and a laid-back lifestyle, we create a wide range of clothing. We’re elevating your weekend wardrobe with the softest tees, knits, outerwear — you name it.

We’re a fast-growing company whose success has been built on a small, passionate team that works hard and has a lot of fun. Check out our website to learn more about our brand and how we responsibly make our absurdly soft tees (and pants, and dresses, and jackets...).
