Every men's fashion brand in the Apparel Search directory that starts with Q - one brand profile, Quiksilver, the surfwear house founded in Torquay, Australia and now based in Huntington Beach, California.

Welcome to the Q section of the Men's Fashion Brands directory. In this area of the fashion brand directory you will find men's fashion brands from leading apparel companies and fashion designers that begin with the letter Q - and Q is the directory's shortest letter: one brand profile, gathered in the grid below. Where other letters spread across a grid of names, Q holds a single surfwear house, and this hub keeps the section honest rather than padded: one brand, fully profiled.
One spelling note belongs here, plainly: older directory listings spelled the name "Quicksilver," with a c after the Qui. The brand is Quiksilver - the spelling used on the brand's own profile page, in the directory's links and throughout this hub. The note is here only so researchers who met the old spelling are not confused.
If you know of an important men's clothing brand that begins with the letter Q and is not listed in this section, please let us know. Q is a genuinely sparse letter for menswear labels - the alphabet bar below will take you to the fuller neighboring letters - and the one profile here gives the brand in full: its dates, founders and founding story.
Quiksilver is the ocean-and-mountain house: Quiksilver, Inc., an American retail sporting company founded in Torquay, Australia and now based in Huntington Beach, California, one of the world's largest manufacturers of surfwear and other boardsport-related equipment. Its logo was designed by company founder Alan Green and John Law in 1973, inspired by Japanese painter Hokusai's woodcut The Great Wave off Kanagawa - a large wave with a mountain on a red background, the brand's two terrains in a single mark. The men's range runs from boardshorts through hoodies, jeans, tees, jackets and pants, along with swimwear, shoes and t-shirts.
A single-brand letter also changes how the directory around it is read. The alphabet bar carries the full A-Z letter row - twenty-six routes to the other Men's Fashion Brands letters - alongside the one listing: Q's neighbors are where a browser goes next, P for the outdoor and dress-shirt profiles before it, R for the letters that follow. The navigation routes upward as well, to the Men's Fashion Brands main page and the Fashion Brands section page, so the smallest letter in the directory is never a dead end: one brand down, twenty-six letters across, and the whole brands section above.
Start from the wave. The single profile below is the whole Q section: open Quiksilver for the surfwear profile - the Torquay founding, the Huntington Beach base, the 1973 Great Wave logo and the boardshorts-first men's range - and use its links for deeper research: the Quiksilver company profile, its news, financials and careers pages, the women's Quiksilver guide, and the boardshorts and rashguards guides behind its core garments.
A one-name letter still earns its hub when the name is a world's-largest surfwear manufacturer, and the grid below, the alphabet bar and the navigation keep the Q section connected to the directory's shopping and research routes.
If you arrived here hunting for a different Q label, the honest answer is simple: this section lists what the directory has, and it has Quiksilver. The invitation still stands - if you know of an important men's clothing brand that begins with the letter Q and is not listed in this section, please let us know through the directory's contact route, and the letter can grow. Until then, the wave and the mountain hold the letter on their own.
