2. History

· IT STARTED WITH A HAT

Out of a garage in Oceanside CA, Brixton began with a group of friends who discovered their inspiration from the diversity of cultures that surrounded them. The Hooligan, a vintage-inspired newsboy cap, was the first step of the journey.

· RINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER

Discovery through Art, Music, Exploration and Adventure. We wanted to unite people from a variety of lifestyles. Creators and Builders: the musicians, artists, craftspeople, travelers - they are Brixton's inspiration. While the brand was forged in Southern California, we are inspired by the world around us and bring that inspiration to everything we do.

· INSPIRED BY THE PAST, BUILT TO LIVE IN THE PRESENT

Brixton’s approach begins with classic silhouettes reinterpreted to meet the needs of modern living. Products derive their inspiration from workwear through several generations - from mariners and aviators, to cowboys and laborers, and beyond.

Simply put, Brixton’s apparel and headwear is inspired by the past, built to live in the present.

3. Sustainability for a Better World

Brixton’s sustainability commitment is put to practice though a variety of initiatives that minimize our carbon footprint. In building timeless style with durability in mind, they seek to outlast trends to keep our products out of landfills by extending the lifecycle.

Their sustainability commitment is that their products are built as renewably as possible from the outset. By utilizing certified Cruelty Wool in all our felt headwear, up-cycling the ocean’s cruelest enemy - discarded fishing nets – in their snapback hats, and using recycled synthetic fibers, their strive to build every product we create with a sustainable approach.

The commitment continues. After products are manufactured, they ship them in biodegradable bags and 100% recycled boxes to ensure every part of their process takes the planet into account.
