Dress Like Tim Robinson from 'Friendship' with A24's New Merchandise

Have you ever imagined wearing puff pants and khaki clothes that would still be comfortable after navigating tunnels and sinking into quicksand? We must admit this hasn’t crossed our minds yet. But since viewing Tim Robinson’s popular A24 comedy “Friendship,” we're considering swapping out our Dan Flashes outfits for some comfy earth-toned attire from Ocean View Dining – because these seem more fitting now. just right.

Following the triumph of "Friendship," set to expand across national cinemas on May 23 after initial screenings in Los Angeles and New York City, distributor A24 revealed that the make-believe apparel firm Ocean View Dining (OVD) has become an actual label...at least enough for folks to purchase the Ocean View Dining Classic Pants, worn frequently throughout the movie by Robinson’s character, Craig Waterman.

"Only these garments seem to sit perfectly," Robinson continually remarks as he endorses the tan men’s basics line shown on screen. Additionally, the genuine OVD trousers and Craig’s down jacket featured in the movie will be exhibited at the Alamo Drafthouse BK beginning May 23rd.

Director Andrew DeYoung of "Friendship" has lately told The News Pulse He crafted the feature particularly for "I Think You Should Leave" creator Robinson. They are planning to work together on this project as well. HBO's thirty-minute comedy pilot titled "The Chair Company."

Tim is a friend, and as I mentioned earlier, I pictured him without informing him of this until after completing my work and sending it off to him," DeYoung explained. "My aim wasn’t to dilute the film’s impact; rather, I sought to intensify its frightening elements for potential investors—to gauge their willingness to step into the trenches with me and explore new territory.

"Friendship," produced by Fifth Season and BoulderLight Pictures, was picked up by A24 after its premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. The film stars Paul Rudd and Kate Mara alongside each other.

“It wasn’t really a solidified friendship; rather, it was more about desire,” DeYoung added to The News Pulse regarding how the story began. “I believed a friendship was developing, yet this individual seemed far less intrigued than I had anticipated. It made me realize, we often witness romantic versions of these scenarios, but rarely do we see them depicted among middle-aged heterosexual males. These relationships occur frequently—men form bonds and face conflicts within those connections. While 'I Love You, Man' captures some aspects of this, I wondered what my take on such a situation would look like, something truer to my own experiences. So, that’s where the concept originated.”

And now, that reality is even closer to actuality with the IRL experience. Browse through our selections below.
