What to know about Foreign Rider Co.
Collections split by purpose, not season
Solace is soft cotton-modal recovery wear; Odyssey is performance pieces — so you shop by what the garment is meant to do rather than by drop.
Small-batch making in three countries
Sweats, tees, polos and technical layers are knit, dyed and sewn in Canada, the USA and Japan, in limited runs using natural and technical fibres.
Founder came from golf apparel
Ralph Dunning previously started Rip N Hammer and Dunning Golf, which shows in the sportswear focus and the polo-and-technical-layer core of the range.
