Kelly Slater's California surf label making relaxed men's and women's staples from organic, recycled and Fair Trade-certified materials.
Why it's similar. Kelly Slater's California label matches Ministry of Supply's mid price and materials focus, though it swaps performance knits for organic cotton, hemp and recycled nylon in relaxed surf-workwear cuts.
