Founded in 2015 by a former finance banker, Zach Goldstein, Public Rec was born from the desire to create a more stylish alternative to sweatpants and a more comfortable alternative to jeans. The Chicago-based brand launched with a single product, the All Day Every Day Pant, after a successful Kickstarter campaign. Public Rec’s core philosophy is to blend comfort with a polished aesthetic, creating versatile pieces that can be worn from the office to a casual outing. The brand primarily targets men who seek uncomplicated, high-quality clothing that doesn't sacrifice style for comfort. Their product line has since expanded to include a range of menswear and, more recently, womenswear, including tees, hoodies, and jackets, all designed with the same focus on technical fabrics and a tailored fit. Public Rec started as a direct-to-consumer brand and has since expanded its retail presence to include its own physical stores and partnerships with major retailers like Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus.
