Burkman Brothers

Canadian brothers Doug and Ben Burkman developed a taste for fashion at an early age, developing a number of summertime enterprises to fund their teenage wardrobe. Later in life, as the pair honest their skills together as designers at Gap, it became clear that their future was in a label of their own. And so the eponymous Burkman Bros was born.

The pair take an "if I wouldn't wear it, wouldn't make it" approach to design, while inspiration comes from their travels and perhaps the odd muse they encounter along the way. The result is an casual line, distinctive in it's understated sartorial flourishes.
