Commando founder, designer, & CEO Kerry O’Brien
Commando founder, designer & CEO Kerry O’Brien is the face of Commando and the embodiment of a female entrepreneur. Having no formal design background, her unique approach to the fashion industry has broken boundaries and revolutionized an industry. In 2012 Kerry was introduced into the CFDA, and Commando currently holds two patents for innovative design in hosiery and slips.

Rather than fitting a style on a model with standard proportions and simply grading the pattern up and down, we test our garments on all sizes and create unique, custom patterns to optimize fit.

Commando has a rigorous multi-sized fit process that is unique to the industry. Commando founder, designer and CEO Kerry O’Brien personally fit-tests every garment, and if she doesn’t love it, it will not go into production. We call this the “Kerry Test”. Our wear-testing process allows us to determine the feel and performance of a garment during regular wear and on real women.

Commando is the go-to brand for top runway designers and A-list stylists.

Commando is a “kit staple” and is used on countless A-list clients. To put it simply: designers and stylists who could use any brand in the world choose to use Commando.

We ensure that the people making our products are working under proper conditions and being paid fair wages.

Sewing education is increasingly hard to find in schools or at home, and finding skilled sewers and people interested in working in manufacturing in the US has become more challenging. Commando offers paid training to sewers and production workers interested in developing skills to sew, cut, trim and produce.
