Price Reductions

Power Stretch double-sided tights $25

and

Light-weight Windbloc regular style pants $33

Original fabric that Polartec would call Power Stretch was fleece on both sides.

  Some 20 years ago Polartec decided to make Power Stretch (this fabric has lycra for stretchiness)  with a smooth outside so one could layer better, as it slips under the second layer or pants.    Also, if you had a pet that sheds it means you’d pick up less of their hairs. 
 
   Those years when all they made was the double-sided Power Stretch people (myself included) loved them for running or biking in temperatures not too frigid.
 
  Imagine the fleece on both sides rather than smoothed out outer side of the tights.

And this green fabric is light-weight Windbloc / front side & back side

Our diversity business in Idaho

12 years ago Patricia Ama and I shared Royal African Culture with Foxwear. What better way to express our love of diversity? Following are pictures of this adventure.

African clothes made here now in 2022 For sale at $60 each

A brief history of Ama’s Royal African Culture work in Salmon.

A happy student

Upon getting USA citizenship 12 years ago, teaching W African cooking was great fun.

Idaho teachers heard Ama was living in our community and so she was invited to give these youngsters a glimpse of the world they couldn’t even imagine.

Next came using our industrial sewing machines for African styles using African fabric.

Design created at the shop

A few customers called after discovering us on the Internet.

We introduced Ama’s creations to people visiting fairs in Salmon Idaho and Western Montana. People needing diversity were overjoyed.

Here are some creations

We’ve been interested in these fabrics for a long time.
