Where did you come up with the name of Jack Rawstone? Sounds like a huge stage name.
Jack Rawstone is a character we made up one evening me and my partner! We wanted the clothes to have character and personality in relation to the name! because our prinicipal idea for the urban t shirt brand is spontaneous art capture on canvas that express people! Here is the story!  

Son of a single mother , Jack was born in Brooklyn in the early '60s. Though his childhood was difficult , I really did not have significant shortcomings , because amid the splendor of the post- war United States, her mother worked for a textile companies with greater glory of the time. There was always food on the table and taking home fabrics, were part of the world when Jack games .

Everything changed in the mid- 70s , when the company collapsed and Jack's mother was one of the many women who lost their jobs . Given his age , it was impossible to get a new job and had to spend their savings on to improvise a sewing room in your home. Meanwhile , Jack , who then met fifteen, went out looking for a job to continue with their studies without being a burden . Thanks to his friend Michael , got a part-time job as a packer in the meatpacking district of New York. 

Although the circumstances were hard work was rewarding for Jack , as represented not only quick money , but a source of inspiration , since he spent much of his life wandering the streets of Manhattan, in full 70s . It was a everyday observer point then revolutionized the world's gaze . Jack had the sensitivity to the time I was living and was not indifferent to the bombing of colors , trends , personalities and releases that triggered this social movement that revolutionized the world until today . Was attracted to the diversity, euphoria and street style .

One evening, after discussing his future with Michael , walking home with a great desire to change her around . Before crossing Fifth Avenue , stopped to observe the urban movement . He looked at everyone who crossed his eyes. Women and men living their time. I conclude that all the dress, we become a symbol, which is key to our packaging , as it also communicates our attire speaks about our personality, our past and how we show the world what we have for him. With this in mind , after high school , he felt the need to go deeper into these reflections. Began to experience the world of design and media culture, inspired especially in the vertigo of styles and trends that marked the beginning of the 80s . 

Meanwhile , he invaded the desire to broaden their perspective , gathered their savings and decided to walk the world . Each city enriched concepts . He adapted easily with each site , working in sweatshops or as a longshoreman , it did not matter , because what is important and what nourished his soul was what his eyes looked at each course . The attire of the people in each city was like a book that began to crack easily, after hours of hard work, enthusiasm back to his room to draw, to foreshadow what would become his own style over time.

He returned to New York with the anxiety of starting a career in the fashion world . Entered college as he honed his sketches , inspired all who observed in his New York past, and everything looked on his journey , always thinking not only in dressing people but to produce synergies , whole personalities , saw the bodies and packaging as a single symbol. One night while coloring a sketch to a finished work, recalled all he had seen, and , all at once, contrasting and exciting for those who inhaled essentially places all at the same time and his head in his hands.

Anxiety left him stunned , had many ideas for shows and his book was not enough. I had to convey all that baggage , all those packages that came suddenly . I could not sleep . He went to his mother's home and collected several pieces of cloth, took the sewing machine and began to make garments throughout the night . The next morning , without knowing it, the brand Jack Rawstone had appeared in the world, as Jack went out as a synergy of which had always imagined , felt complete with a costume designed for him, for his own idea of itself.

The style that Jack had made ​​, was successful among its faculty and quickly became a line of t -shirts designed for the comfort of daily life , without losing the sense that he had to design : communicating your attitude toward world . When started designing for other people, did not hesitate a moment to name your style , Jack Rawstone is packed well , PACK WHAT YOU GOT .
