Their motto; “Heed the call”, and their name Howler Brother’s – was inspired by a sound heard on surf trips to Costa Rica, the call of the loudest animal in North America, the Howler Monkey. If you’ve heard it, you know how loud and startling the sound can be. But, after hearing it a few times, the sound becomes a part of the collective feeling of being in Central America and serves as a constant reminder that you’re in a good place, doing something you love.
With this emotional connection as a base line, Howler founders Chase Heard and Andy Stepanian formed Howler Brothers to craft limited run, high quality clothing and goods that draw inspiration from the style and tradition of surfing and coastal sports. They set out to make gear that works in the water, on the boat, and around the fire pit when the stories are told. Clothes you might wear when you’re hearing Howler Monkeys from your hut after a day well spent. Or clothes to wear when you’re wishing you were.
The medium weight, cotton blend Shaman Hoodie with printed canvas yoke will help connect you with your inner medicine man and guide you on your journey to the spirit world. Features include front hand warmer pockets, rear stash pocket, and woven zipper pull cord with leather fobs.
The Stockman Stretch Snapshirt carries the DNA of the rest of Howler Brothers’ Stockman family, but they expanded the herd with this lighter weight version constructed of a poly-rayon-spandex fabric. This unique blend adds a bit of stretch to the bloodline so you can rope and wrestle anything in sight. Colored snap buttons add a bit of Howler vibe to the rodeo.
3.) CREATIVE TROUT UNSTRUCTURED SNAPBACK HAT IN OLD GOLD
The Unstructured Snapbacks hang loose and take on whatever form you prefer thanks to their soft crown and lack of internal structure. Like their other hats, they still feature a dark under brim to reduce glare, a pliable brim for shaping the look you want and adjustable snap back closure.
