Robert Felder is the founder and CEO at Bearbottom Clothing, a men's apparel company known for its comfortable and versatile clothing designed for everyday adventure. The inspiration for Bearbottom Clothing came in 2012 when Felder visited Bangladesh as a high school student with his father, who was in the apparel industry, and witnessed firsthand the need for quality jobs and basic necessities like clothing.
Growing up on the West Coast of Florida, Felder sought a pair of shorts that could withstand his active lifestyle. Unable to find suitable options, he decided to create his own while still an undergraduate at the University of Florida. Bearbottom Clothing launched in 2014; since then, the company has expanded its mission and product line to produce comfortable and versatile menswear. As part of their commitment to giving back, Bearbottom proudly donates a school meal to a child in India, where the clothing is manufactured, for every item sold.
Under Felder's leadership, Bearbottom Clothing emphasizes ethical practices, sustainability, and quality. The company, with $25 million in sales in 2024, has grown significantly, and Felder has been featured on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list.
