AETHER is a Los Angeles technical outerwear label founded in 2009 by film producers Palmer West and Jonah Smith, who wanted jackets that worked in the city and outdoors. The line covers waterproof shells, ski kit, waxed-cotton moto jackets such as the Mulholland, plus knitwear, pants and travel bags for men and women. Design is muted and minimal, with sealed seams, matte technical fabrics and few visible logos. Collaborations include a waxed-cotton Reporter Jacket with Leica. It runs its own stores in Los Angeles, Aspen, Park City and other resort and city markets.

Does Aether Apparel run big or small?
Aether Apparel fits slightly small. Order your usual size for a close technical fit, but size up if you're broad through the chest or plan to layer a midlayer or hoodie underneath. Most wearers describe AETHER as running trim and athletic — technically true to size on paper, but noticeably slimmer through the chest and arms than typical American outdoor brands, so bigger builds and layerers often go up one.
