I'm sure if you were on the home page you read the bit about Project Industries being the clothing design "project" inspired by a love of really cool clothes and the desire to create a series of well crafted and stylish limited edition apparel lines for men and women. I thought I'd let you know a bit more behind the concept here at what I call The Project when I'm out having beers with friends or talking to myself in front of my computer.
Hi. I'm Jamie. I run Project Industries. The artwork appearing on the clothes is mine. I also like cookies. No joke. I eat way too many of them for someone my age. But I digress...
When considering the name of this endeavor, two meanings of the word ‘project’ are appropriate. It is these two meanings which describe the motivation behind Project Industries. As a verb it means “to throw, cast, or impel forward or onward”. That's pretty much what Project Industries is doing with the designs now available and the designs yet to be “projected”. Now, as a noun it means “something that is contemplated, devised, or planned”. The relationship of this particular definition to Project Industries more than made itself clear over these past few months as the “Project” moved forward -- and indeed continues to do so.
Each ‘project’ (or ‘projection’ depending on the definition you’re going with) will have one or more designs with a consistent theme printed on a number of kinds and styles of apparel; tees, hoodies, tanks, headgear, etc. For example, Project 001: The Vans has a van theme (doye), and the soon to be released Project 002: Samurai has a... you get the picture. Each project's designs will be a limited edition run, so once they're gone, they're gone.
So as I also said on the home page, be among the first to own some cool Project Industries stuff! We actually will like you better -- that wasn't just lip service. Even if you don't buy any gear, drop us a line and say hello so we know you're out there.
