FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

Mike Ardelean and Juse teamed up to form Lavar Brand, a clothing company that takes things in a different direction. Mike was the one answering FATBMX's questions. Find the answers here: FATBMX: What made you decide to do a clothing company? Mike: My friend Juse and I started and we were just not really buying BMX clothes so we didn't want to complain about BMX companies so we kind of made our own. So how do you start with a company, there are a lot of little clothing and BMX companies doing T-shirts, what did it take for you? Mike: We have a lot of things planned but everything is so slow. We are still doing T-shirts. It took us so long to get our T-shirts the way we wanted them and now we're happy with that so we're going to move forward. Part of doing your own clothing company is having your own team, who's on the Lavar team?
