The Beginning:

It wasn’t but a few weeks ago, or seemingly a few weeks ago, that my woman complained about her work pants. They didn’t fit right, and she couldn’t find ones that fit. She went on and on about work pants. It made sense, she was a hardworking woman who needed pants as tough as mine for working in the trades and hard daily use.

That moment got me thinking that if she can’t find ones that fit well, we should make our own. I have always been interested in clothing, but never a manufacturer or designer. One time, my college roommate and I bought a couple of white T-shirts, did some iron-on printing of our own, and thought about starting a brand called “No Limits.” We ran out of time for that brand name, but it soon fizzled out anyhow.

Then I began working in the trades and have spent the last 28 years working hard and constantly searching for the next best thing in work wear—something comfortable, durable, and stylish. I like wearing my gear on and off the job site as long as it’s cool enough. Well, it seems I am at a different point in my life, always on the lookout for the next best thing, but this time, I feel the urge to do something about it.

With my woman's encouragement, her need for work pants, and my own search for the next great pants, I have to embarked on this journey of design and manufacturing. It all begins with a small step, right? Here’s to that small step, big dream, and a plan to build the next great American work brand.
