New Line of Urban Clothing Created by Ex-Con to Launch at Las Vegas Trade Show
Hyannis, MA (PRWeb) February 8, 2007 -- Ex-con Dan Longyear is proud to announce the upcoming launch of his new line of urban wear, County Jale Clothing, www.countyjale.com. The clothing line will debut at the Magic Marketplace, Booth #33212, at the Las Vegas Convention Center February 13-16.
"My clothing line comes as a result of a lot of hard-learned mistakes, the support of people I love and a very necessary sense of humor," says Dan Longyear. "I want to be very clear, my clothes are not about glorifying a life of crime, but to promote Freedom, dialogue and discussion regarding our justice and corrections systems and to show that turning lives around is as simple as making a decision to do so. It is all about Freedom in all forms…"
The idea for the clothing line came to Dan Longyear while he was serving time for O.U.I.. Longyear looked at the men around him in orange jumpsuits with the words "Property of County Jail" stenciled on their backs and it dawned on him that clothes inspired by jail attire and experiences might just fly on the outside and could at the same time be a mirror to what really goes on inside.
Mr. Longyear was released into the Community Corrections program on electronic monitoring but was not allowed to work for his own company. He removed himself from the Corporation to comply with the directive given but was returned to County Jail the day after the web site originally launched in January 2006. He spent another 10 months in jail, all the while awaiting the day he could be free to fulfill his dream. "I want everyone to realize how important our personal and civil freedoms are and how we must fight for what we believe in." said Mr. Longyear
The County Jale line is designed to be worn by both sexes. At Magic Marketplace, County Jale will debut new denim jackets and jeans, hoodies and tees including additional women's wear.
The following items can be ordered now on the website:
Men's and Women's Tees
Full Zip Hoodies
Pullover Hoodies
Trucker Caps
All can be ordered in Innocent Orange and Bad Boy Black
While County Jale clothing definitely pokes humor at being locked up, founder Dan Longyear is very serious about giving back. To that end, he is setting up the County Jale Network and Canteen Fund, to help people stay out of jail and to help those just getting out. County Jale invites people to join The Posse and contribute to the County Jale Network just by believing in the message and the mission.
A 50 state resource network is being set up to help in the following areas:
* Legal information regarding civil, criminal, probate and family court proceedings. What to expect and how to prepare.
* Educational information. Links to institutes of higher learning, trade and technical schools, Job Corp, Military, JTEC, government and private tuition assistance programs.
* Substance Abuse/Mental Health information regarding government programs and private clinics.
* Employment information. Listings for those seeking employment, companies that are willing to look past a record, how to suggestions for succeeding in finding employment and employment networking.
* Housing information. House, apartment, rooms, shelters, government and civic/church assistance programs listings for individuals and families.
* General Health information regarding hospitals and clinics that have free or low cost services for individuals and families, including dental health and low cost insurance programs.
Freedom is what County Jale is all about. County Jale has a growing following of friends that can be seen at www.myspace.com/countyjale
