Founded in 2010 by lifelong friends in Austin, Texas, Howler Brothers was born from a shared passion for surfing, fly fishing, and all things wild. The brand’s ethos, summed up by their motto “Heed the Call,” is about answering the call of adventure with laid-back style. Howler Bros apparel blends the soul of classic surf culture and fly-fishing heritage with a modern twist – think vintage Western shirts remixed with island vibes. Co-founders Chase Heard and Andy Stepanian infused their love of music, art, and travel into the designs, creating gear that feels as at home on a boat or a beach campfire as it does around town. It’s a brand built by and for those who live to roam, fish, paddle, and jam, capturing a fun-loving outdoor spirit in every stitch.
Beyond the good-time vibes, Howler Bros is serious about doing good. They craft their clothing with sustainable materials like organic cotton and recycled polyester, so you can feel good about what you’re wearing. The company gives back 10% of its proceeds to environmental causes, helping protect the wild places that inspire their products. Quality is key – their shirts, hats, and boardshorts are built to last season after season, resisting trends in favor of timeless, functional design. From small-batch collaborations with artists to charitable initiatives, Howler Bros stays true to its mission of making people’s lives better while respecting the planet. In short, this Austin-based crew delivers apparel that looks great, performs in the outdoors, and supports the environment – a winning combo for any adventurer.
