G Story

Cute shirt…what’s on your back?

G Wear began in 2008…the vision of a local Ft. Worth, Texas fashion designer, Stanley Jackson.  His inspiration came from his young daughter, Malerie, who at 4 years old (with a little help from her Mom), sewed a heart appliqué onto a simple dime store tee shirt.  Stanley proudly wore the shirt around town and was always being stopped and asked where he got it. After telling the story over and over, he decided they might be onto something big.  He created a few sample designs using appliqués cut from recycled tee shirts.  They were an instant hit everywhere he went - hence G Wear was born.

In the early days of the company, G Wear was showcased mostly in boutiques in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.  In order to realize his dreams to see the company grow nationally, Stanley decided to sell his majority interest in G Wear in late 2011 to Michael Wilson, a local Dallas business man, and member of the 1980 Olympic Gymnastics Team. With an appreciation of Stanley’s talent and unique style of designs, Michael appointed him lead designer for G Wear.

The G Wear team is focusing diligently on:

• Continuing to support our existing boutique partners with new, exciting styles and designs
• Launching our licensed Sorority line in the Fall of 2012 on campuses across the U.S.
• Launching our Signature Gymnastics Line featuring shirts designed and/or inspired by Olympic Gold Medal winner, Carly Patterson
• Working with charitable organizations to design shirts that represent their causes including the Make-a-Wish North Texas Foundation, the Pat and Emmitt Smith Foundation, and The Lopez Foundation
