A Single Sweater For All of Life

About us

Our story begins in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado when two eight-year-old kids found themselves sitting next to each other in class learning things like how to spell giraffe and write in cursive. While writing this nearly 20 years later, we’re still getting caught by spell check on words like “giraffe” and Slater’s not fooling anyone with his cursive. With short attention spans, time to spare, and bottled up energy, you could say we went through a few phases... from studying at a yarn gallery learning to knit to forming a nine-year-old rock band named Double Baked, a small oversight. As years flipped by, we traded in our guitars for side satchels and eventually found ourselves as roommates in the Bay Area starting a sweater brand… oh how time flies. People sometimes ask why a couple of seemingly unfashionable roommates are creating an apparel company. First off, rude. Second off, fair question. Growing up, outdoor adventure had a major influence on us. We’ve always preferred wearing durable, high performing clothes versus following fashion trends. For instance, Jack is a die-hard supporter of highly versatile snow clogs, and Slater has owned the same pair of durable jeans for years. There's a common theme among the brands we love to wear. No matter the phase of our life, we always gravitated towards long-lasting clothes that felt good to wear, and when we found clothes that we felt good in, we wanted to wear them all the time. The truth is, the relationship we have with our clothes is personal and whether we’re cycling through exhausting work weeks, cooking with our partners, or lounging on Sundays, we want to look and feel our best. This is all because the clothes we wear have a profound impact on our wellbeing. Feeling creative, proactive, and happy throughout the day depends on tons of things, including how comfortable and confident we feel about what we're wearing.

    I recently participated in a 7-day sweater challenge. The purpose of this test was to see if my Oliver Charles All-Season Sweater could actually be worn 7 days in a row without deteriorating into a ball of yarn. Before the challenge, I was frustrated with not knowing how to dress for the weather. Texas weather doesn’t simply play by the rules, and it can be very challenging to find a piece that will work from dawn to dusk. Could the All-Season Sweater be the answer? Would the sweater be able to keep me cool in the heat and warm in the cold? Follow along with my latest blog to see if the sweater held up with the challenge: https://lnkd.in/gZvbr36C #repeat #olivercharlesclothing #olivercharles

    I hadn’t had the chance to wear a 3D-knit garment made out of yak wool, despite it being one of the most eco-friendly and ethical wool choices out there. So, I was filled with excitement and curiosity when I started my 7 Day Sweater Challenge. Could one sweater truly withstand the demands of my homesteading lifestyle in unpredictable Wyoming weather?

    Dopamine is how humans feel pleasure, think, plan, and behave. It’s used in the body to send messages from nerve to nerve cells. Not only does Dopamine help us feel “right”, but it can also help keep our body balanced in very important ways - like how we dress for less stress. For me, creating content, like writing a blog post, is better for my overall well-being and gives me a great mood boost as well. It’s all about intentionality, so let’s translate that into fashion concepts. If you are ready to enjoy a dip into dopamine dressing, be ready to rediscover the fun of choosing your outfits and check out my latest blog to inspire you: https://lnkd.in/gBAqStM2 #repeat #olivercharlesclothing #olivercharles

    During summer, it's been known to wear clothes that are thin, short, and airy and sweaters are only for the cold winds of winter. But, contrary to popular belief, sweaters can be worn in summer too. I took the Oliver Charles 5-Day Adventure Challenge and with average highs of 90 degrees Fahrenheit and extreme humidity to boot, you can rest assured that this summer sweater was truly put to the test. Follow along my journey on taking the Oliver Charles Summer Short Sleeve on 5 different summertime adventures in my latest blog: https://lnkd.in/gbjB95ed #repeat #olivercharlesclothing #olivercharles

    Have you ever pulled out your favorite wool sweater, only to find it peppered with tiny holes? If so, you’ve likely encountered the work of moth larvae. Moth larvae go on a feeding frenzy to get the nutrients they need to grow and they have a specific taste for natural fibers, particularly the Keratin in your wool sweaters. In our latest blog, we bring you several ways to prevent moth larvae from snacking on your favorite wool clothing.
