Howler Brothers Run

Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes Howler Brothers running apparel different from other brands?

  Howler Brothers blends coastal-inspired design with functional details drawn from their Technical Collection, using materials like 100% slub cotton and cotton–spandex blends for a balance of comfort and stretch. Technical pieces include water-resistant fabrics, vented back yokes, and abrasion-resistant construction, while small-batch production and printed-art heritage keep silhouettes and patterns distinctive.
• How should I choose the right size for Howler Brothers running shirts and shorts?

  Fit varies by fabric—100% slub cotton shirts have less mechanical stretch while cotton–spandex and Technical Collection pieces offer more give—so follow the garment’s size chart and consider intended use: choose a closer fit for performance layering or size up for relaxed, everyday runs. If you’re between sizes and prefer full range of motion for trail running, sizing up can improve comfort without compromising function.
• Are Howler Brothers running pieces suitable for hot or wet conditions?

  Technical Collection items are designed to handle heat and moisture better, offering breathable constructions and quicker drying than traditional cotton, while vented back yokes improve airflow on hot days. Water-resistant fabrics and abrasion-resistant finishes in select styles make them suitable for damp coastal runs or light showers, though 100% cotton pieces will retain moisture longer.
• How does a Howler Brothers Technical tee compare to a 100% slub cotton tee for running?

  A Technical tee prioritizes moisture management, quicker drying, and stretch for dynamic movement, making it a better choice for sustained or high-intensity runs. A 100% slub cotton tee offers a softer hand, vintage look, and casual comfort for short, low-intensity outings or post-run wear but won’t wick or dry as fast.
• What types of terrain and running activities are Howler Brothers pieces best for?

  Choose Technical Collection or abrasion-resistant styles for coastal paths, mixed singletrack, and trail approaches where moisture and rough brush are factors, and opt for cotton or cotton–spandex blends for relaxed road runs and everyday training. The brand’s designs work well for runners who value casual, coastal-inspired styling as much as functional details, suitable for beginner to experienced recreational runners.
