Former is a rider-owned clothing brand founded by professional surfers Dane Reynolds and Craig Anderson, skateboarders Austyn Gillette and the late Dylan Rieder. Born out of a shared frustration with the corporate surf and skate industry, Former was built on a simple premise: create, design, and produce exactly what they want to wear. No target demographics, no grinch-worthy marketing campaigns — just a tight crew with impeccable taste making things on their own terms.
The aesthetic reflects its founders' sensibilities entirely. Muted palettes, clean lines, and art-driven graphics replace the loud logos and trend-chasing of traditional boardsports brands. Every piece sits comfortably at the intersection of surf, skate, and street without reaching too hard for any one of them. Former is 100% independently owned and operated, and that creative freedom shows in everything they put out — from premium heavyweight tees to workwear-influenced bottoms — built to be worn, not just looked at.
