Howler Brothers - An Austin Original

If you're a fan of the comfort and good looks of Howler Brothers clothing, we've got something special for you - the Turbulent Waters Collection! It's an exclusive, available only at stores like ours that have been offering Howler Brothers for years. You won't find it on the Howler Brothers website. So you know what that means - don't wait! The Turbulent Waters Collection offers a new pocket t-shirt, a snapback hat, and a Gaucho snapshirt.  Let's take a look!

Howler Brothers Unstructured Snapback Hat - Turbulent Waters

The Brothers spend as much time on the water as they can. Their Unstructured Snapback Hat - Turbulent Waters includes a dark under-brim to reduce glare off the water and sand. The unstructured, five panel soft crown combined with the snapback makes it comfortable no matter how you choose to wear it. And the pliable brim can be shaped to your look. The Turbulent Waters design is embroidered and complemented with a braided trim at the cap and brim seam. This is one good-looking hat - an excellent addition to your collection. 

Howler Brothers Men's Select Pocket T-Shirt - Turbulent Waters

The Brothers have been offering eye-catching designs on their t-shirts for years. The Howler Brothers Men's Select Pocket T-Shirt - Turbulent Waters carries on the tradition. Think of it as their tribute, Texas style, to Hokusai's Great Wave. The shirt is made of an ultra-soft 50% cotton, 50% polyester blend with a water-based screen print design. This regular fit t-shirt also has contrast stitching at the shoulder. It may be your new favorite summer t-shirt.

Howler Brothers Men's Gaucho Snapshirt - Turbulent Waters

Howler's Gaucho Snapshirt has been a favorite with collectors for its inspired embroidered details of pelicans, lobsters, crabs, tarantulas, gators, jellyfish and ufos. Howler updated the classic western shirt with pearl snap buttons adding technical features that make it a good choice out on the water or back on land. Howler Brothers Men's Gaucho Snapshirt - Turbulent Waters features a mesh-lined, vented back yoke and is made with a lightweight, quick drying cotton/poly blend with a touch of spandex.  Embellished with the Turbulent Water embroidered art, this is the shirt for summer 2022.

Howler Brothers clothing is made for life on the water: comfortable when the air is hot and humid, and quick to dry when wet. If you surf, fish, paddle, swim or just hang out, you’ll find shirts, pants, shorts, boardshorts and hats made with you in mind. Howler clothing is styled to make the transition from a boat to a backyard party with ease. Their clothing is also made in small batches, so it’s best to get it when you see it. You may not see it for long.

Come summer, Austin is a laid back kind of town. There’s a certain informality that’s just part of the culture. While we no longer hear society ladies pleading on local radio that their big upcoming event is formal and that means no shorts, folks here in Austin do know how to dress comfortably in hot weather.  And if you’re a guy, chances are good that you’ll have at least one, if not more, Howler Brothers shirts or shorts in your closet.

And where does the Howler in their name come from? It points to the Howler Monkeys of Costa Rica where the Brothers go surfing and is, for them, a reminder of many, many good times they've spent on the water.

Whole Earth and Howler Brothers are Austin neighbors. It's a short walk up Castle Hill from our North Lamar store and over into the heart of Clarksville to visit Howler Brothers Hacienda, their headquarters where the magic happens.  Whole Earth is proud to offer a robust selection of Howler Brother clothing for your shopping pleasure. We hope you’ll stop by one of our stores or visit us online to check out our Howler Brothers collection. And remember, Howler Brothers' items are very popular. Get them while you can!
