Sweats made the OB way. Merino sweatpants, knitted in Italy with a drawcord and zip pockets. Merino half-zip sweatshirts, knitted from the same jersey. Towelling sweat shorts in organic cotton. Because a Sunday morning deserves the same cut as a Tuesday afternoon. Designed in London since 2007.

Dress down but dress well. Orlebar Brown began in 2007 with a swim short cut from the pattern of a traditional man's suit trouser, and the same tailoring discipline runs through the pieces the wardrobe reaches for on the slower days. Sweatshirts, sweat trousers, sweat jackets, sweat shorts, made for the walks to the bakery, the long flights, the slow Sundays.

What makes Orlebar Brown sweats different from traditional loungewear?
Our sweats are cut with the same tailoring discipline as the rest of the wardrobe: cleaner through the body, considered on the details. Merino sweatpants and half-zip sweatshirts are knitted in Italy from breathable merino jersey. Towelling sweat shorts use organic cotton. The idea is loungewear that looks worth being seen in.

Can I wear Orlebar Brown sweats for travel?
Yes. The merino sweatpants and merino half-zip sweatshirts are knitted from breathable jersey with an adjustable drawcord and zip pockets, designed specifically to travel well. Both hold their shape through a long flight and don't crease easily.

What is the difference between OB's merino and cotton sweats?
Merino sweats are knitted from merino jersey in Italy, breathable, warmth-regulating and travel-friendly. Suited to cooler days, air travel and year-round wear. Cotton sweats are made from soft loop-back cotton and jersey, warmer and heavier, better for the slow morning at home or the walk to the bakery.

How should I style Orlebar Brown sweats?
Merino sweatpants with a knitted polo for travel. A merino half-zip with day shorts for a relaxed lunch. Towelling sweat shorts with a linen shirt for the walk between pool and terrace. A cotton sweat under a linen shirt when the morning cools.

Where can I wear Orlebar Brown sweats?
Any day the wardrobe slows down. The flight home. The morning coffee run. The pool in the afternoon. The sofa for the film.

Are Orlebar Brown sweats sustainable?
Our towelling sweat shorts are knitted from organic cotton. Our merino pieces use a naturally breathable, biodegradable fibre. Orlebar Brown is a carbon neutral company, rebalancing carbon through Blue Carbon projects with SeaTrees.
