MORE Clothing Companies for Dykes?  You Bet.

4/3/2013

24 Comments

 
Several weeks ago, I featured three new butch-centered clothing companies: Fourteen, Saint Harridan, and Tomboy Tailors.  Since then, I've heard about many related companies--some focused on masculine women, some not--but all geared toward queer women, and all worth knowing about.
  • Androgynous: Their lookbook boasts cool, modern styles.  Not totally masculine...  but not that girly, either.  Keep an eye on these guys.
  • Focx: A super cool butch/boi underwear company I've seen.  I have a few boxcers from them and love 'em.
  • Marimacho: Based in Brooklyn, it offers "classic clothing for the unconventionally masculine," including swimwear and steampunk gear.
  • Original Tomboy: A rare lesbian from the world of (Project) runway fashion, Alicia Hardesty wants to redefine the phrase "dress like a girl."
  • The Butch Clothing Company: This British company offers lots of different suit styles, all for fairly formal occasions.  
  • Studville: A source for casual lesbian-themed clothing, particularly hats, tees, and accessories.
  • Kreuzbach10: This newly-funded Australian company will make men's shirts to fit women's bodies.  I look forward to seeing more from them.
  • Let's Be Brief: Ah, but what do you wear under your vests and bow ties?  LBB has you covered: underwear designed for LGBTQ folks.
  • Seven Even Clothing: Currently limited to tees, hats, sweatpants, and hoodies, but definitely some cool designs for casual wear.

And of course, there's my own pet project, the Butch Store, which isn't my own line of stuff, just a bunch of links to things I think butches will love.

(At left is a sample of the Marimacho look from their website.  Cool, no?)

Do you know of any other companies I should add to this list?  What do you think of these guys?  Are there any big gaps you'd still like to see filled?

All of these are awesome! One thing I have noticed is that there still doesn't seem to be a lot for huskier butches unless you get something custom made. Thanks for keeping up on these great companies!

Love that there is an Australian company involved with this. I am starting a clothing and accessories brand here in Oz too. Just a fledgling at the moment but definitely catering for this group of women. Look out for Casual Dyke Designs coming real soon.

This is so fantastic! Duchess Clothier in Portland, Oregon also happens to specialize in custom suits and separates for butches, from wafer thin to perfectly round, and everything in between! Thanks for posting this info!!

Anything that will work for big breasted Butch women?? Help? I wear men's dress shirts and ties to work but they are always too large because I have to buy bigger because my boobs are too big.

What the hell is wrong with you gals? There's ALWAYS been a place for dykes to buy clothes, it's called the men's department! Grow up.

Are you really that dense or did you completely miss the entire point of this article? I can't believe I have to break this down for you Micky Mouse style! MENS shirts have narrow chests and hips(just like a MAN)but wide shoulders and they end up knee length to fit those two problem areas especially if you are curvy. MENS slacks or pants have narrow hips and make the front pockets flair out and the crotch puff out making it 100% obvious that It was not intended for unisex wearers. You would have to be rail skinny and over 5'8 with no hips or boobs to even semi wear men's clothes and have it look just "ok". So why don't you actually open your eyes and actually read the article before spewing your keyboard vomit all over the place. Here is my closing advice. Show respect for others the way you would like to be respected. Just because you disagree with someone or something, doesn't mean you must open your mouth. You always have the right to not share your disproval. Remember to always respect &
love each other always!!!

As a trans butch dyke man I am interested in clothing businesses in or around North Carolina or help with outfits and clothing choices that show a slight feminine side but with a very butch dyke attitude. About me 39 cismale but identify as trans butch dyke 5"10" not rail thin but not pleasantly plump 38b-c breasts. My butch husband tell me I have 80ies style. Looking to change it. Thanks to all and great articles, well written comments and a great group. Thanks

Transdyke I am in the same boat as you. I live in Central North Carolina and I also want to locate clothing businesses that cater to a more feminine style that has a butch dyke edge to it. About me 45 cismale but identify as a trans male dyke 5”9” average size and weight 40 a-b breasts. My lesbian dyke wife tells me I have 70ies and 50ies style because of my love for bullet bras and corsets. I love the article and input from everyone. Thanks.

It is hard to find the right clothes to express myself. I am heavy so it's extremely hard
