Description:
Fat Face began in 1988 with two guys, Tim Slade and Jules Leaver, enjoying life on the slopes in the French Alps and desperately trying to avoid working for a living. With money running out, they hatched a plan to print some sweatshirts and T-shirts, sell them at night, and ski during the day. With that simple formula, the FatFace brand was born with the name inspired by their favourite black mountain.
Fast forward over 30 years and Fat Face has over 200 stores in the UK, Ireland and the USA. Fat Face is pitched as clothing for outside the 9-5.
