What to know about Freeman
It started with one raincoat
Scott and Brittany Freeman founded the label in 2010 to build a better raincoat; the Genuine Freeman Raincoat, in technical shells and bright colorways, is still the signature.
Sewn in its own Seattle shop
Flannels, knits, vests, tees, pants and accessories are made in small batches at the brand's Seattle sewing shop, which explains the medium-high pricing.
Part label, part stockist
The SODO studio showroom handles fittings, alterations and local pickup, and also carries American, Canadian and Japanese labels plus Filson collaborations.

Brand facts
Freeman is a Seattle menswear label and retailer founded in 2010 by Scott and Brittany Freeman, who set out to build a better raincoat. The Genuine Freeman Raincoat, sewn locally in technical shells and bright colorways, remains the signature piece, alongside flannel button-downs, knits, vests, tees, pants, socks, hats and bags produced in small batches at the brand's own Seattle sewing shop. A Capitol Hill flagship opened in 2014 in the historic Loveless Building; the company has since relocated to a SODO studio showroom offering fittings, alterations and local pickup, and stocks American, Canadian and Japanese labels including Filson collaborations.
