Eli Bonerz and Adam Silverman founded X-Large in Los Angeles, with early investment from Mike D of the Beastie Boys. The brand gained prominence by incorporating workwear brands like Ben Davis into a fashion context. It played a foundational role in the development of global streetwear culture during the 1990s. By opening its first storefront on Vermont Avenue, the brand established a blueprint for independent retail spaces that catered to specific local subcultures.
