About

Summing Up Folk Founded in 2002 by Cathal McAteer, Folk has spent over two decades refining a "quiet" aesthetic that bridges the gap between high-end architect-designer fashion and functional streetwear. Based in London, the brand is defined by its meticulous attention to detail—where every button, pocket, and fabric texture is considered part of a larger, cohesive puzzle. Unlike brands that rely on heavy branding or fleeting trends, Folk focuses on the "style of the person," creating garments that are approachable yet sophisticated. At Urban Industry , we have championed Folk as a cornerstone of our curated selection because they represent some of the best in modern British menswear. Their ability to elevate everyday wardrobe staples through exclusive fabrics and subtle, playful detailing makes them an essential brand for the discerning customer who values substance over hype. How Does Folk Stack Up Exclusive Fabrications: Folk utilizes custom-developed fabrics, ranging from 100% ripstop organic cotton for durability to lightly brushed cotton twill with a soft-handle finish for superior comfort. Corozo Nut Buttons: A hallmark of the brand's commitment to quality, these natural, sustainable buttons provide a distinct tactile feel and superior longevity compared to standard plastic alternatives. Articulated Silhouettes: The legendary Assembly Pant features a considered, tapered leg and cropped length, engineered to provide a clean line without restricting movement. Technical Versatility: Many outerwear pieces, such as the Assembly Jacket , incorporate internal waist drawcords and multi-pocket arrangements, allowing the wearer to customise the fit and utility of the garment. The Urban Industry Take on Folk Folk is the ultimate "all-rounder" for the UK climate. Their collections are built for layering, making them perfect for the unpredictable British weather where a Folk shirt or lightweight jacket can easily transition from a spring morning to a cool evening.
