What to know about Vollebak
Materials science drives every garment
Pieces are built around experimental materials like graphene, carbon fibre, ceramic and copper, as in the Graphene Jacket, 100 Year Hoodie and Solar Charged Jacket.
Collections are scenarios, not seasons
Ranges are conceived as gear for future environments — Mars, Titan, climate collapse, deep sleep — rather than as conventional seasonal drops.
Ad men, venture money, direct sales
Founded in 2016 by twin brothers Nick and Steve Tidball after advertising careers; it sells direct-to-consumer, has raised venture funding and won TIME Best Inventions twice.
How Vollebak fits
Overall fit
slightly large
Vollebak pieces are generally reported as true to size but cut on the relaxed, layer-friendly side, so slimmer builds often find them roomier than expected.
Tip: Most people take their normal size, but if you're between sizes or want a cleaner silhouette, size down — the cuts already leave room for layering.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly large | relaxed with dropped-feeling shoulders and roomy sleeves | Stick to your normal size unless you want it close to the body — the heavier hoodies are already cut generously. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | regular to relaxed with a moderate taper | Take your measured waist size and expect a comfortable rather than slim leg. |
| Jackets | true to size | technical outerwear cut with layering room through chest and shoulders | Order your usual size; there is already enough room for a mid-layer without going up. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly large | relaxed, slightly boxy through the chest | Take your usual size for a relaxed drape, or size down if you prefer a closer fit through the body. |
