NEW ARRIVALS: ambsn February 20 2016
ambsn is a company based in San Clemente, CA. The company was founded by two brothers, Dustin and Dylan Odbert, in 2002. What had originally started as a fundraiser for a friend in need has now become a California inspired menswear brand.
ambsn focuses on colorful, lightweight, tailored clothing for a beach inspired lifestyle. In short, they put a new spin on beloved classics: New Wave Nostalgia.
“We try to keep it a full California beach vibe,” Odbert said. “Everything is always really fun, more tailored toward the fashion and play sides of surf. We have a pretty wide demographic we sell to.”

AMBSN March 30 2012
The recent rains that we've had and the higher temperatures mean one thing: It's time to go swimming. The green belt creeks are flowing, so grab your cut offs, or favorite trunks, and head to your preferred swimming hole. If you're in the mood for a new swimsuit, Service has you covered. AMBSN is the latest arrival. The brand got its start in 2001 by brothers Dylan and Dustin Odbert, as a fundraiser to help a friend who had mounting medical bills; a result of a tragic accident. AMBSN has cultivated a devoted following and it is made in the USA. The swimwear features whimsical fabrics with flamingo prints, or prints of lions, tigers and bears. There are bright color blocks, and 80's graphics and textures. Head to the springs!
