ABOUT US
Weekend Offender was founded in Merthyr Tydfil over 20 years ago. It started as a simple idea shaped by football, music, and the place we called home. We have been making functional utilitarian clothing ever since.
Our Story
In the heart of South Wales, 2004, Weekend Offender was brought to life by two visionary friends, Sam Jones and Rhydian Powell. Surrounded by the rolling hills and the rhythmic echoes of bustling local life, they found their inspiration rooted deeply in the vibrant subcultures that thrived around them. Football, with its fierce loyalty and passionate chants; music, with its pulsating beats and rebellious anthems; and film, with its gritty narratives and raw, unfiltered characters, all played a pivotal role in shaping what Weekend Offender would become.

Sam and Rhydian saw a gap in the market for clothing that wasn’t just to be worn, but to be lived in — apparel that echoed the spirit of the weekend and the unapologetic attitude of those who count down every minute until Friday night. They envisioned a brand that stood for more than just fashion; a brand that symbolized a lifestyle, a community, a form of expression.

Since its inception in 2004, Weekend Offender has seen remarkable growth, thanks to a combination of strategic investor backing and the brilliant contributions from a dedicated and loyal team of staff and designers. The synergy between seasoned investors who believe in the brand’s vision and a creative team that continuously push the boundaries of design has propelled Weekend Offender beyond its local roots to international recognition. This growth is a testament to the power of community and collaboration, anchoring Weekend Offender as a leader in menswear with a distinct cultural footprint.
