Bound

Bound is a Manchester menswear label founded by Jake Messer, who also runs the independent streetwear retailer UN:IK Clothing. The brand bridges contemporary tailoring cues and street-led dressing, working almost entirely in custom cut-and-sew construction rather than blanks. Collections centre on heavyweight jersey, premium knitwear, retro-leaning denim and heritage silhouettes in a restrained colour palette, with graphic tees pushed beyond basics. Sold direct online and through UN:IK and END. Clothing, Bound opened its first flagship store on Thomas Street in Manchester's Northern Quarter.
