Both& Apparel to Close Its Doors: A Major Loss for Masc-of-Center Fashion

The world of masc-of-center fashion is feeling a significant loss with the upcoming closure of Both& Apparel, a pioneering brand in creating clothing for masc of center humans. On October 1st, founder Finnegan Shepard announced the brands 68 thousand followers that Both& will be shutting down due to financial struggles. The brand’s closure marks the end of a company that filled a vital gap in the fashion industry, catering to people whose needs are often overlooked by mainstream brands.

Both& championed thoughtfully designed clothing for masc-of-center folks, with garments like t-shirts boasting high necklines and thicker materials to comfortably wear over binders, as well as jeans with extra room in the hips and thighs to accommodate a variety of body shapes. These details made Both& a pioneer in the fashion world, offering something unique for the trans and gender-nonconforming community.

Since the announcement, there’s been an outpouring of sadness but also support from the masc fashion community. Many are lamenting the loss of one of the few brands that truly understood their needs. In light of this, there’s been early chatter about a possible crowdfunding initiative to try and save the business, though nothing concrete has emerged yet.

The Both& team has been open about their financial troubles, urging supporters to stock up on their favorite items during the brand’s closing sale. Whether you’re in need of high-quality, tailored garments or simply want to support a queer-owned small business, now is the time to check out Both& before they close their doors for good.
