Screen Shot: Steady Hands Apparel

City Based: North New Jersey, NJ

What inspired the brand name?

It originally was just a play on the fact that I myself am terrible at sewing cause I have pretty shakey hands, but also is now an explanation of the quality and build of the garments. They're all made with Steady Hands.

At what moment did you realize you wanted to start a brand?

I made some custom clothes just for myself and everyone really liked them, that's when I decided that I might be able to make them for more than just myself.

What helps you get over creative blocks?

I just ignore them and do other things in the mean time. If you try to force it, it'll never come out. If you preoccupy yourself by living life eventually the creativity will come to you.

What is the biggest mistake you have made?

One time due to a small error on size tracking I ended up ordering 70 size XS hoodies instead of 70 size Mediums on a batch of pre orders and didn't notice until after I received them.

What is the biggest success you have had?

My Gradient Collection in January completely sold out in under a minute.
