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.

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.

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.

Now there are two new styles of Power Stretch fabric: Silkweight that makes 5 1/2 ounce tights and lightweight that makes 8 ounce tights .

A Variety of Colors to Choose

And there is now a slate gray outer with polyester jersey on the inner side.   This is not fleece but a tad warmer than the tricot nylon inner that NeoShell has been made of for most jackets and pants.

There’s thinner/stretchy or stiffer/less-stretchy  both weighing the same.   Size Medium jackets and pants weigh just over 1/2 pound each.

fabric and clothes made of African fabric

We use fabrics from Ghana and the Netherlands.   Here is a good article on both called   African fabrics recent history

Leaving the Kumasi, Ghana market after a successful day of selling, I walked into the path of another clothing manufacturer.  After some talk we realized how much we had in common.  From there it was the commitment of working together.

Now we design and sew clothes in America and visit Ghana and Holland often.   You’ll see what also is made in the shop at  thefoxwear.net

With a background strongly immersed in my Ashanti culture, I know how each African fabric pattern represents a part of life.

I’ve learned how to use industrial sewing machines for the clothes I make.

From working in business (Volvo) and selling at the biggest market in West Africa as well as the Missoula Montana People’s Market, I’ve learned how to give customers what they want.
