What to know about Second/Layer

Chicano and skate roots, tailored

The Willis brothers and ex-Stussy designer Anthony Franco translate Southern California surf and skate subculture into soft-structured suiting, pleated trousers and camp-collar shirting.

Italian production, founder-owned scale

Much of the line is made in Italy, but the label is still independent and founder-owned rather than part of a group, which is where the mid-to-high pricing comes from.

Neutral palette, largely gender-neutral

Collections stay in neutrals across trousers, shirting, knitwear and boots, and most pieces are cut to be worn regardless of gender.

Brand facts

Second/Layer is an independent Los Angeles menswear label founded in 2013 by Southern California natives Joshua Willis, Jacob Willis and designer Anthony Franco (Ant De Padovane), a former Stussy lead designer. The brand describes its approach as "tailor-made/daily-wear," translating surf and skate subculture into soft-structured tailoring: pleated Valluco and Passo trousers, camp-collar and pin-point shirting, knitwear, suiting and boots in neutral, largely gender-neutral palettes, much of it made in Italy. It remains founder-owned and independent, with current-season collections carried by SSENSE, END. and Maxfield.
