Tyler Durden Clothing

If you aren't familiar with the background, you may be surprised to find that Tyler Durden clothing isn't a brand; in some ways, it's a part of a cult following. The clothing is based on a 1999 movie character, an aggressive soap salesman named Tyler Durden. So how did this mismatched, unruly character become a fashion icon?

You may be wondering what Tyler Durden clothing even is if you are not familiar with the 1999 movie, Fight Club. In Fight Club, Brad Pitt's character was a soap salesman named Tyler Durden and his style had an edgy, vintage feel. Similar tops are especially sought after. Men everywhere want to look like Tyler Durden in his second-hand, hipster attire.

The mind behind the hit wardrobe was costume designer Michael Kaplan. He has also been in charge of dressing the casts of movies such as Pearl Harbor, Armageddon, Seven, Flashdance, and more.

Fight Club is about a group of underground "fight clubs" where men go to take out their aggression by beating each other to a pulp. They spread like wildfire to all of the major cities after others get wind of the fights between Tyler Durden, soap salesman, and a self-help group addict, the narrator. The fight club eventually turns into "Project Mayhem," an anti-capitalist movement with destructive plans. Tyler Durden is the instigator in the destruction. The character is as chaotic as his clothing style.
