Envisioned by Haley and Beau Lewis, a young husband and wife team, in the fall of 2007, Bare Apparel was unveiled on-line in April/May of 2008. Finally, screenprinters and designers have access to washed and distressed premium blank garments. The idea for the company came when the team realized the hassle that designers had to go through in order to get premium quality blank t-shirts and their lack of access to resources for distressing and washing their garments.

“In talking to designers, I realized that they didn’t know how to get their shirts washed or grinded. If they did know how, they just didn’t have the industry contacts, or it just wasn’t economical for them to work it out,” says Beau, the company’s CEO. “Smaller designers want to offer the same kind of premium shirts as companies like Obey, Affliction, or Ed Hardy and they want to be able to do things like distress their garments or experiment with different kinds of softening washes, like enzyme, acid, or sand washes.”  Bare Apparel has found a solution to this problem by offering blank shirts to consumers with options like distressing and a variety of washes.

Getting Bare Apparel off the ground was no easy task for the husband and wife team.  “We had a learning curve, but we refused to take no for an answer,” says Haley. “We were lucky because we had a good contact inside the industry; but without him, the process would have been much more challenging and complicated.” The company had to learn quickly about coordinating services with vendors, negotiating prices, finding good sources, and the importance of ensuring a quick delivery time.”  Beau adds, “We persisted through these challenges because we have a vision for Bare Apparel. We are excited about using our creativity to create a new kind of blank t-shirt, one that is going to allow designers to make unique, premium garments.”

In the future, the company looks to expand to many kinds of apparel, including a larger variety of shirt styles, hoodies, denim, tall sizes, and a children’s line.
