Carb makes casual American sportswear for men featuring a modern, yet simple design.  

Carb™ makes understated minimal luxury accessible & sustainable.

Based in Los Angeles, Carb™ aims to capture the laid-back cool of California living. Elevated classics, relaxed fits & hand-selected textiles made accessibly & sustainably. Welcome to a new era of American sportswear made for casual living.

Carb™ was founded on the belief that now more than ever, nothing is more important than our time spent together. In a culture of constant hustle, Carb™ champions slowing down & admiring the deeper connections. We re-imagine the things we surround ourselves with when we spend time with the ones we love. To make innovative menswear accessible for everyone so we can make time to catch up on a year apart.

We operate under a slow design & production philosophy, taking the time to create less but better wardrobe staples. By re-imagining one style at a time, we avoid multi-piece collections and seasonal cycles to minimize excess inventory, trend-based waste and excessive markups. Accessible & sustainable minimal luxury for everyone.

1% of profits are donated to the LA regional food bank to bring every family together over the comfort of food. Carbs fill the stomach but the company it brings together fills the heart.

From our founder:
I worked at a Fortune 100 company for 8 years and started Carb™ out of my personal frustration with accessible menswear. Today, it’s still the same mall brands offering lifeless polos and suits or unsustainable fast fashion. Personal style had always been my creative escape from the corporate system yet I found that the designs that resonated with me were out of reach for the average consumer. Modern men are creative. There is magic that comes from incredible personal style and I wanted to make that accessible for everyone.

With a full heart,
GT

They're a new business so they only have a few pieces right now. Excited to see them grow their offering with different colors and styles.

I just got my first piece from Carb and I don't think I've ever been complimented so much on my clothing. The shirt I got has the perfect oversized cut that's was really easy to style and not intimidating at all. I feel like Carb is making modern men's fashion way more accessible without sacrificing quality. I will definitely be buying from Carb again.

I can't wait to see what you release in the future!

I'd been eyeing Carb since I saw them in the newsletter when they first launched. I finally pulled the trigger this Christmas and received the mohair cardigan and Larchmont oversized overshirt. I am obsessed! The quality is incredible, and I have received more compliments on the cardigan than I could have imagined. The cuts are timeless yet elevated, and the attention to detail regarding collar sizes, fabrics, and oversized fit, is spot-on. 

I recently bought the wide-legged trousers for an upcoming trip and bought a few sizes too large. I was bummed because I knew I had to return them, but I was desperate to see what I could do about securing another pair before I left. I realized that the fulfillment center was near where I live and ended up messaging Carb on IG asking if there was any chance that I could go to the fulfillment center in person and make the exchange. Gary, the founder, was quick to message me back and said he'd be there the next day and would be happy to meet me in person to give me the new pair, A++, for customer service!
