Good to Know
Marine Layer has built strong fundamentals in organic cotton sourcing and construction quality, with GOTS certification and thoughtful supply chain transparency. Opportunities for growth include expanding repair infrastructure (currently limited), formalizing a take-back program, and deepening labor certifications beyond fair-wage commitments. The brand could also strengthen design philosophy documentation to emphasize multi-season wear expectations.
About our research
Every brand on Oras is independently researched across five pillars: material quality, construction and craftsmanship, longevity and repairability, sustainability and ethics, and design philosophy. We use a consistent framework so you can compare brands meaningfully.
Oras does not sell products directly. We connect you to the brand's own site. We may earn a small affiliate commission, but this never influences our research or which brands we feature.
