Fat Face is a chain of clothing retailers selling its own branded products. The company has stores in the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Iceland and Dubai. The chain sells garments aimed at outdoor, surf, ski and sports enthusiasts for men, women and children under the "life is out there" motto. While originally marketed as active outdoor clothing, it is now mainly a fashion brand.

Fat Face was founded by Jules Leaver and Tim Slade in 1988. They started in Meribel, a ski resort in the French Alps. Jules and Tim were skiers, but had run out of money. They sold their VW camper van, and bought lots of plain t-shirts on which to print logos. The idea of "better a bad day on the water than a good day in the office" came from this, and with growing interest and rapport with British tourists, they decided to set up shop in the UK. In 1992/3, the Fulham store was opened.
