Committed to fair labor since the beginning.
The Fair Labor Association (FLA) holds brands to the highest international labor standards. Outerknown was the first brand to pursue accreditation before selling a stitch of clothing. Founded with strict fair labor standards, we were later approved faster than any other brand in history.

After 28 months of visiting makers around the world, Outerknown was born.
In 2015, professional surfer Kelly Slater and creative director John Moore set out to change the clothing industry. Both surfers wanted to wear clothing that was made better, looked better, and fit better than what they grew up with. Prior to shipping our first product, we spent over two years searching for the right partners that shared our values.
