Founded by long-time friends, Paco McCauley and Eduardo A. Braniff, Franklin + Gower, Los Angeles Clothiers is about clothes that are all about individuality and giving back.
Franklin + Gower was born out of our shared love of printed pants and shorts and dressing to make a statement. Whether Lily Pulitzer, Etro or thrift store, prints, color and flair are key to how we express ourselves. Fundamentally, there's not a chino alive that can light up a room. And, no matter how they try, understated clothes only say one thing about you. If your clothes can be your best pick up line, they had better be saying something good.
Our company and personal philosophy is simple: smile often and keep positive. It is right there in the middle of our name. We live this philosophy by doing some basic things, all the time- making your experience the easiest and most fun possible, and creating clothes that bring color, humor, and life to every occasion. And, if along the way we are able to show that the LA man can be different from the Silver Lake hipster and the Beverly Hills power broker, right on!
We also strongly believe in giving back to our vibrant Los Angeles community. We figured the first place we could start with is employment. Our custom tailored pants and custom printed shorts are 100% manufactured in Los Angeles, California, USA.
When you visit franklinandgower.com, make sure to poke around. We’ve hidden some surprises around the site that you'll be sure to enjoy and learn a little something about why we love Los Angeles as much as we do. And, when you're actually in Los Angeles, go stand at the corner of Franklin and Gower streets and look north… Or stop by and visit us at Crossroads of the World
Be sure to call first, as we are appointment only for now.
We look forward to hearing of the adventures you have in your Franklin + Gower clothes and, better yet, to seeing you in them about town. Don’t worry, we’ll know how to spot each other!
