Bridge & Burn

Classic men’s and women’s apparel with modern fits.

Established in 2009.
Bridge & Burn is classic, functional, distinctively Northwest apparel for men and women. Since 2009 we’ve been creating classic, understated apparel inspired by the natural beauty and thriving culture of our hometown. Every piece is thoughtfully designed by our small team, in our studio right above our Flagship Store in downtown Portland, OR. Connecting face-to-face with customers means their feedback is built right into our design process. We never compromise on fit, fabric, and careful detailing to ensure each new line upholds our signature of versatility, durability and casual sophistication. Each piece of clothing is made to be worn, again and again.

Erik P.
Business Owner
Erik Prowell, the industrious and down-to-earth founder and designer of Bridge & Burn clothing, proves that you don’t need much experience in fashion design to create a successful clothing line — you just need ambition, a keen eye, and the willingness to do the job yourself. Born in Bend, Oregon and now based in Portland, Prowell majored in computer science but developed an interest in fashion after co-founding a t-shirt business with a friend. Soon he graduated to making more sophisticated men’s and women’s wear inspired by his father and grandfather’s wardrobes and his nature-influenced, Oregonian upbringing. The Bridge & Burn aesthetic emphasizes clean lines, practicality, and unpretentious styles that straddle the line between outdoorsy and urban hipster. Bridge & Burn is available in over 50 boutiques both nationally and internationally. The flagship store now allows customers to view the entire line.
