Dear Beloved OGT Community,
Lately, I’ve been deeply inspired by Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor whose Stoic philosophy and reflections on life resonate profoundly with our OGT ethos. His teachings on introspection, mindfulness, and the power of thoughts remind us that true happiness and fulfillment come from within, reflecting our inner gold. One of his most poignant quotes, "What we do now echoes in eternity," perfectly captures the timeless impact of our actions.
With that quote in mind, I am thrilled to share some exciting updates:
We’ve now surpassed the planting of 100,000 trees—a milestone achievement made possible by you. Each OGT item you own represents one of these trees, contributing to a global love forest that wraps the planet in a golden thread. Take a moment to appreciate that every piece in your OGT collection is part of this beautiful effort. Thank YOU.
Here are answers to the most common questions about our environmental impact:
- Why do you plant trees? Trees are the fastest solution to achieve climate wellness.
- Where do you plant? We support projects by our NGO partner, One Tree Planted, addressing climate change, forest fires, wildlife corridors, and urban deserts. For details, check out our OGT Impact Report.
- What kind of trees are planted? Species are chosen based on the biodiversity needs of the project. For example, in the Amazon, we planted 20,000 trees of 98 different varieties.
Our journey together is more than about what we wear; it’s about how we live, love, and connect. To celebrate, enjoy our latest playlist, OGT Life: Golden Hour, which is packed with curated tunes that attune, elevate, and inspire.
Take it with you on your next adventure and share the good vibes with friends.
In the past 60 days, we’ve joyfully deepened the original OGT intention of expression and connection through our new podcast, experiential retail, and The Oasis event space on Abbot Kinney, Venice.
If you haven’t yet tuned in to our podcast, Drops of Gold, it’s an honor to share wisdom from remarkable individuals, including a special episode with my father, Morton Scult. Your reviews mean the world to us, so please drop one here if you’re inspired.
Our flagship store and The Oasis are thriving as a zen haven for connecting the brand and fans, gathering, and growth.
I’ve been thrilled to receive requests from OGT members around the globe who want to be notified to make a special trip to LA. Yay!

Getting Down With The UndersAt the risk of TMI, when I designed our cozy Tree Pant in 2020, I ditched traditional underwear. Now, inspired by my passionate return to The Unders, I penned a lighthearted poem to share some ridiculousness with you.
An Ode to The Unders ✨
“From My Nads to Yours"
Oh beloved seeker of comfort and bliss,
Let me tell you of The Unders, where delicious exists.
In the realm of the lower half, where the sun meets the shade,
These boxer briefs shine like a blessing displayed.
Soft as the sigh of a lover’s first kiss,
Cool as the breeze that brings peace and pure bliss.
No more battling with seams that pinch or fight,
In The Unders, you’ll find your delight.
Like a monk in the garden, serene and at ease,
Slip into these wonders and feel the release.
With pockets for poems
a holster for your phone,
wherever you roam,
feel the comfort of home.
A throne for your treasures, a sanctuary so sweet,
Where comfort and luxury in harmony meet.
Wave farewell to those briefs that have served you so long,
In The Unders, you’ll feel blissfully strong.
Perfect for yoga, for swimming, or just lounging with glee,
These briefs are as versatile as your soul can be.
Let the beech tree’s wisdom guide you each day,
In The Unders, you’ll find a new way.
A gentle embrace for your treasures divine,
In these golden threads, your comfort will shine.
So embrace these new Unders, and laugh at the past,
With comfort so grand, joy will forever last.
Like the breeze through the trees and the laughter of friends, in The Unders, the party never ends.
Go hug youself.
