Howies is a clothing company based in west Wales. The company was founded in 1995 and produces eco-friendly T-shirts, jeans and sportswear, with the aim of having ethically correct practices.〔(Daring to be different in a brand new way ), ''The Guardian'', 2004-05-29 Accessed on August 24, 2007.〕〔(howies mixes fun with ecology ), ''Financial Times'', 2006-03-10 Accessed on August 29, 2007.〕 Howies sometimes use natural fabrics as alternatives to petrochemical-derived modern fabrics. Examples include organic cotton, Merino wool and recycled cotton.〔("Feature.003 HOWIES" ), "STEAL-LIFE", January 2005. Accessed on August 23, 2007.〕〔(howies Interview ), Issue 18, Singletrack Magazine, 2004-12-15. Accessed on August 23, 2007.〕 Howies T-shirts often have images or slogans with vague political or environmental themes and are screen printed by hand in a workshop located at the brand headquarters.〔 == Brand == The Howies brand used to have a strong identity within many UK active sports, notably mountain biking, surfing and skateboarding. This identity was enhanced through the sponsorship of a number of athletes in these disciplines in the early years. It has also generated a number of special edition products associated with the Howies brand, notably with Curtis Bikes who continue to offer Howies blue as a standard colour option on many of their bikes. The company is particularly well known for its T-shirt designs, many of which have become known as classic designs, notably the ''classic'' logo design as well as ''9 bikes'', ''CCTV'', ''Life *'', ''Blood Donor'' and ''Home Work''. The Howies name is often written in lowercase - the company's preferred style. The Howies 'Believers Welcome' slogan was originally attributed to Jim Jones.〔http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Howies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
