XLARGE Australia: Los Angeles Streetwear Clothing, Delivered
XLARGE is the Los Angeles label that helped write the rulebook for modern streetwear, and Boardstore keeps the range stocked here in Australia. Tees, shirts, hoodies, pants and shorts, all carrying that iconic gorilla logo. Fresh XLARGE clothing lands regularly, so there's always something new to shop.
A Pioneer of Los Angeles Streetwear Culture
XLARGE opened its first store in LA back in 1991. Eli Bonerz, Adam Silverman and Mike D from the Beastie Boys built it as an independent label for the skate, music and art crowd who had nowhere decent to shop. Spike Jonze shot the early campaigns. The gorilla logo went up, the Old English lettering followed, and streetwear culture had a new home in the city.
Three decades on, the brand still moves the same way. It sits between skate and streetwear without pretending to be one or the other, which is why skateboarding picked it up early and never let go. That's why XLARGE still lands with people who actually care where their clothing comes from, and why it's held its own against newer streetwear brands.

The XLARGE Range: Tees, Shirts, Hoodies, Pants and Shorts
Boardstore carries XLARGE clothing across the core apparel lines. Here's the breakdown.
Tees: The deepest part of the range by a mile. Short sleeve and long sleeve T-shirts, from clean logo hits through to full graphic prints, plus stripe styles when they land. The 91 and gorilla graphics move quickest.
Shirts: Button-ups in checks, plaids and solid colours. Wear one open over a tee or on its own. They finish a fit without much effort.
Jumpers and jackets: Pullover hoods and crews for the cooler months, plus zip-up outer layers. Warm, boxy and cut the way street apparel should be.
Pants and shorts: The Bull Denim 91 pant is the staple here, sitting alongside cargo 91, corduroy and work styles. The same story runs through the shorts, with the baggy Bull Denim 91 and the 91 short both in the mix. If you want one pair that covers everything, start with a Bull Denim 91 pant and add a 91 short for summer. The odd belt or accessory turns up too.

FAQs About XLARGE
What is XLARGE?

Is XLARGE a Japanese brand?
No. XLARGE started in Los Angeles. It has a huge following in Japan and a strong retail presence there, which is where the confusion comes from, but the brand is American.

The gorilla is the brand's OG logo, used since the early days in LA. It shows up printed, embroidered and panelled across the range, often paired with that Old English lettering.

Is XLARGE a good brand?
It's been running since 1991 without selling out its roots, which says plenty. The quality holds up, the fits are honest, and the graphics still look sharp years later. Plenty of streetwear brands come and go, and this one hasn't.
What are the Bull Denim 91 pants and 91 shorts?
They're the workhorse bottoms of the range. The Bull Denim 91 pant runs in a heavy cotton with a relaxed leg, and the baggy 91 cut takes it wider again. The 91 short is the same idea with the length cropped for summer.
What size is XLARGE in Australia?
Two different things share the name. XLARGE is the streetwear label on this page. If you're after XL sizing, check the size guide on any product page, since the fit varies between tees, shirts and pants.
