About Us
Menswear for Startup Builders
We build clothing for those who build the future.
The startup life isn’t a straight line. It’s long hours, constant challenges, and endless resilience. You deserve menswear made specifically for that reality.
At One Farad, we believe your daily uniform should reflect who you truly are—a builder. We craft premium essentials, designed and produced in Italy, focused on comfort, quality, and clarity.
Our hero inspiration is Michael Faraday, a scientist who started out as a lab assistant—a cleaner—and, through sheer curiosity and persistence, changed science forever. Like Faraday, we know what it means to start from zero, to push through failure, and to keep showing up when no one’s watching.
Whether you’re launching your first startup, working remotely on your own terms, or quietly building something important behind the scenes, our clothing is here to support your journey every step of the way.
Welcome to One Farad—Menswear for Startup Builders who never stop.
What We Believe
- Comfort as a Foundation: Clothing that keeps you comfortable, clear, and confident all day, every day.
- Quality over Trends: Premium Italian fabrics and meticulous craftsmanship, because quality should never be compromised.
- Resilience is Style: Your struggles, your resilience, and your commitment are what truly define your style.
Our Story
One Farad was created by Emidio, a founder who knows firsthand what it’s like to rebuild from scratch. After losing everything during the 2008 crisis, he moved from Italy to London, working manual jobs while building startups on the side. Through every failure and every lesson, he realised one key thing:
Real style isn’t what you wear—it’s what you overcome.
One Farad is the clothing Emidio wished existed during those early startup days: simple, smart-looking, and genuinely comfortable menswear, purpose-built for people who never stop building.
Why "One Farad"?
The "Farad" is a unit of energy—small but powerful. We chose this name to remind every startup builder: Even the smallest amount of focused energy can spark something incredible.
