Who We Are
Two Blind Brothers is a clothing line on a mission to cure blindness. Founders Bradford and Bryan Manning were both diagnosed with an eye disease that causes blindness over time. This condition has inspired a special vigilance for details, a passion that carries over into the construction of our clothing and accessories. Our focus is on ensuring the high quality and expert craftsmanship of each item we sell, and 100% of our profits are donated to the Foundation Fighting Blindness to fund life-changing research to cure blindness.
