What to know about Bather
Bather is a Toronto menswear label founded by Kyle Kaminsky, built around swim trunks and surf shorts in recycled fabrics with hand-drawn prints, stripes and solid colourways. The range extends into warm-weather apparel: camp shirts, wool gauze and terry shirting, lightweight sweats, tees and knitwear. Trunks run about $90-$100 USD and shirting $150-$175. The brand operates a Parkdale flagship at 450 Dufferin Street housing a café, stocks lifestyle goods and surfboards, and sells wholesale across North America, Japan, Australia and the UK.
