Chi Wear
"A revolution in style," Chi Wear is contemporary clothing for those seeking the ultimate in comfort. Made from organic cotton and hemp/cotton blends, this premier brand of pants, shorts, and shirts and jackets is designed to remove the uncomfortableness found in most casual clothing. Instead of restrictive cross seams traditionally used in garment making, Chi Wear uses a diamond-shaped panel of fabric called a gusset in areas most sensitive to the human body - under the arm and in the crotch area. Though no difference in the clothing is visible, the feel and comfort create a great ease and freedom of movement. Manufactured in the United States, Chi Wear can be ordered by visiting www.chi-wear.com.
