Marine Layer is a San Francisco, California-based casual apparel brand for men and women, founded in 2009 by Michael Natenshon. The company was built around a singular focus on fabric quality, originating from the founder's desire to recreate the soft, broken-in feel of a beloved vintage t-shirt. Over time, Marine Layer has custom-developed more th... an 100 proprietary fabrics and expanded its product line to include tees, knits, outerwear, bottoms, and accessories, all designed around a relaxed, laid-back aesthetic inspired by vintage clothing and a California lifestyle. The brand operates more than 45 brick-and-mortar retail locations across the United States, in addition to a robust e-commerce channel, and employs an omnichannel fulfillment model that includes ship-from-store capabilities. Marine Layer is a Certified B Corporation and places a strong emphasis on sustainability and environmental responsibility. Its Re-Spun program, a flagship sustainability initiative, collects used t-shirts from customers and recycles them into new fabric, diverting hundreds of thousands of pounds of clothing from landfills. The program is executed in partnership with a Spanish manufacturing facility specializing in textile recycling. Marine Layer also engages in quarterly charitable partnerships, donating a portion of proceeds to nonprofit organizations. The brand is distributed through its own retail stores and website, as well as select wholesale partners including Nordstrom.Read More
