FORMER Clothing or Former merchandise is an independent surf, skate, and streetwear brand founded by professional surfers Craig Anderson, Dane Reynolds, and Austyn Gillette. Born from a desire to break away from the corporate surf industry, FORMER creates clothing that reflects the authentic, creative, and raw side of surf culture.
Each collection - from FORMER T-Shirts and hoodies to boardshorts and caps — is designed with premium materials, understated graphics, and a commitment to individual expression. FORMER stands for creative freedom over commercial trends, blending surf, art, and design in a way that feels both effortless and progressive.
Driven by independence and authenticity, FORMER has built a loyal following among those who value style, substance, and the freedom to do things differently.
