Folk Clothing

Folk is a relative newcomer to the world of men’s fashion. Born in 2001, the company burst into life when founder Cathal McAteer was granted the opportunity to achieve a personal goal of creating a menswear collection that his friends would like to wear. He turned his back on the trends and fashions of the high street and crafted a collection that was independent, quirky and fun.

The devil’s in the detail with Folk. Much of the creative process is involved in fabric selection, incorporating innovative materials such as Japanese double face cotton shirting and carbon finished jerseywear. This makes Folk clothing rugged and tough but infinitely wearable. Combine this eye for the unusual with detailing such as pointelle, textured tweed stitching and corozo nut buttons and you have a definitive collection of menswear that’s utterly different and unique to Folk. This brand doesn’t follow trends – it sets its own agenda.
