Who is Feather & Square?
We are an eco-conscious, men’s active & life wear clothing brand.

Comfortable, cool & stylish gear for those with an endurance and goal-driven mindset.
A Little Background
Feather & Square has been set up by Jonathan who has struggled to find good quality, men’s activewear products that are also stylish and sustainable. There are plenty for women to choose from but very little for men.
I found one brand I loved, called “Ohmme”, but unfortunately, the owners decided to close the business due to a falling out. The gear was so good, I want to try and bring it back to life. They appeared on the likes of Dragons Den and raised investment successfully from Peter Jones and had many Yoga influencers raving about their products, particularly the Dharma Pants and the Cobra Tee’s.
The other brand I really like uses superfine Merino Wool (unboundmerino.com) – due to its breathability, natural anti-bacterial properties, and is moisture-wicking abilities. Plus Merino being eco-friendly and stylish.
For me the key things are –
- regulates body temperature
- breathable
- wickability (dry wicking – for when you’re exercising)
- comfortable
- fitted – for example, the Cobra T-shirt and Dharma pants, due to the elasticity, they don’t “fall” when you do a handstand – very important.
- light to wear
- sustainable
- looks stylish in any situation

Other colours to come later….
General Details:
Designed to provide comfort and grip in any yoga, pilates or rowing class, with no restrictions and no sweat patches.
Looks good also wearing out, not just in a studio or water doing exercise.
The Dharma pants for men sit in place and offer great support. You can pull them up for a 3/4 length and a tighter feel, or keep them down to maintain heat during practice and find a grip for balance poses. Either way, you will find great mobility thanks to the excellent stretchy material, strong seams, and a reinforced gusset panel at the crotch.
Fast drying and wrinkle resistant, the silk-like polyester jersey is resilient, elastic, and feels soft to the touch, making these Dharma pants the epitome of extra comfort and ease. And thanks to their high elastane content, the pants won’t lose their shape.

Product Five. Men’s Merino Wool Pants.
MERINO PERFORMANCE + ELASTANE STRETCH & DURABILITY
Every Merino wool fibre has a waxy coating called Lanolin, which helps wick moisture away from your body and acts as a safeguard against odour-causing bacteria. This is what allows our Merino to stay breathable and dry while smelling and feeling fresh, no matter what you put it through. For the Merino Pants, our wool is blended with Elastane for added stretch and durability.
FEATURES:
- Ultralight, compact and wrinkle-resistant for easy packing.
- Hidden zipper back pocket that fits a phone.
- Stretchy comfort
- Versatile style for every occasion.
HIDDEN GUSSET FOR LIFE ON THE MOVE.
Comfort and unrestricted movement are one of our top priorities. This innovative gusset eliminates 4 seams coming together in one spot creating freedom of movement and a more comfortable wearing experience.
SOFT & STRETCHY
Made from machine washable premium Merino wool, these pants feature a 2-way stretch twill that feels amazing against your skin and lets you move with ease.
NATURAL AIRFLOW
With Merino, your body heat can pass through the space between our woven superfine fibres, regulating your body temperature and keeping you cool & comfortable.
READY TO GO WRINKLE RESISTANCE
A Merino wool fibre resembles a tightly coiled spring, also called a crimp. Pull it and it will recoil back into shape every single time.
EASY CARE
When it comes time for a refresh, simply add it to your load at the normal or cool temperature setting and then lay it flat to dry. Iron on low if necessary.
Other Items I’d like to add:
- an active running short/board short
- Under “board shorts” – I can give you details later. I bought a pair of Hurley underboard shorts in California years ago, and they’re brilliant. I’ve never been able to find a pair like them since.
- bamboo socks, multi coloured and fun
- merino wool or bamboo mens underwear (boxers)
