O'Neill (brand)

O'Neill is an originally Californian surfwear and surfboard brand, now owned by Sisco Textiles, a privately held company headquartered in Luxembourg.

Jack O'Neill started the company in 1952 in the garage of his house near Ocean Beach in San Francisco, later moving to a site in a bar parking lot on the Great Highway.

In the United States, the O'Neill clothing license has been held by the La Jolla Group since 1993,[7] and the company is now headquartered in Irvine, California.
