Face Guard Clothing

Face Guard Clothing is a Urban Unisex Street Wear Clothing Company. The name came about from talks between the CEO/Graphic Designer, Antoine Thaxton, and the President, Gerry Thaxton, who is Antoine\'s father. When Antoine was growing up as a military child, he moved several times, and at one point attended 3 elementary schools in one year. Falling somewhat behind due to this he encountered negative feedback from his teacher and laughter from students. His father, Gerry, corrected the teacher and immediately explained to his son not to let anyone define him or tell him what he can\'t achieve. To fight the negativity and haters he will encounter in life and work hard for what he wants. So like a prize fighter in the championship bout, we put our dukes up and defend our dreams and goals. We believe anyone can achieve their dreams and goals if they put in the time, work, and fight against the nah Sayers and negative comments. So \"Guard Your Face and Guard Your Dreams\" and Have a \"Heartbeat of Determination\" two mottos of Face Guard Clothing. Face Guard Clothing provides a unique and fresh take on graphic designed tee shirts, tank tops, hats, jackets, hoodies, and other apparel. In 2012, after graduating from Benedict College with a BA in Graphic Design, Antoine approached his father Gerry, retired Air Force and a graduate of Bellevue University with a BA in Project Management, about starting his own clothing brand. Little did Antoine know that while his father was serving in the Air Force he dreamed of launching his own clothing brand but put it on hold due to being a career Air Force member and having a family. This inspired the two of them to both reach for their dream and develop designs for such an endeavor and after two and half years of planning and designing, the company Face Guard Clothing was launched on Feb 1, 2015. Antoine worked to create a brand that not only others would love to wear but which he would love to wear, and blur the lines between high premium fashion urban wear and the everyday consumer product with eye catching graphics matched to top material produced shirts, yet still affordable. Antoine and Gerry work together bouncing ideas of each other, sketching, and playing with colors to develop vibrant and unique designs.
