WeR Apparel

Welcome to the world of "we R apparel".
This bold statement comes from the fact that our intrinsic line is unique and can
only be categorized as something exclusive in the over-saturated t-shirt market.

"we R apparel" focuses on 3 specific areas:

1. DESIGN:
With almost two decades of garment graphic design experience, we offer a
unique look, sense of style and expression to the t-shirt world. We are dedicated
to excellently crafted designs, skillfully and strategically placed to express one's
individual taste and style.

2. FIT:
We offer some of the best fitting garments available. Form fitting, with a style
that is geared towards the fashion extremist. We feel that it does the wearer no
good if they have an amazing graphic on an uncomfortable, sloppy-fitting shirt.
The same is true if one has a great fitting tee with horrific and tired designs.

"we R apparel" offers comfort, style and form fit with every garment. Each
custom print is dyed directly onto the shirt... so say goodbye to the "thick and
uncomfortable inks" that come with most existing t-shirt lines.

3. EXCLUSIVITY: In design... In garment... In distribution...
"we R apparel" has made the common observation. You don't want to buy a
shirt that the only lasting impression you make is your shirt taste matches the
other 100 people you see out or at the club. Or even worse, wearing gear that
puts you in a group that stands around wishing they knew what fashion was.

Our designs are kept to limited run numbers. "we R apparel" designers and
ownership are fashion purists who won't allow their line to be oversaturated.

We sell only to fashion-savvy boutiques with an identity that puts quality, design,
and fashion focus as their approach to retail. "we R apparel" believes in protecting
their label, their look, and their stores.

Welcome again to our world... We know you'll love it here!

Chidgey Leather - Stand out. Don't Settle.

Rarely satisfied with the way things are, John-Paul Chidgey has always felt compelled to improve on mediocrity. Whether it's practicing law, competing in triathlons, or crafting leather, his way of doing things has always allowed him to stand out. Each piece is made personally by him; just his hands, a piece of leather, and a desire to make each one better than the last.

Herringbone Braid

The herringbone braid is a great summer hairstyle that is being seen on runways and in magazines. It is easy and takes your style to another level. Everyone has been asking for the directions so here they are.

Directions: Gather a section of hair where you want the braid to start. Insert your left index finger through the strand, bottom to top, separating the section into two strands.  Use your right hand to finish separating the two strands.
Gather a small section of hair from the right side of the head. Move the section over your index finger and combine it with the left hand strand (between your thumb and index finger.)
Transfer both strands to your right hand. Gather a small section of hair from the left side of the head. Move the section over your index finger and combine it with the right-hand strand (between your thumb and index finger.) Transfer the strands back into your left hand.
Repeat 3-8 until there is no more hair to add. Take the right strand in your right hand and the left strand in your left hand.
