Nicholas Fare, 30, and his brother Christopher, 27, have always imagined themselves becoming successful entrepreneurs so that they could assist others with special needs. The brothers, both diagnosed with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy. about 20 years ago, are University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee graduates who have combined their interests, talent and passion to create Joseph Ryan Clothing, a new line of luxury knit shirts for men and women.
The brothers have been personally involved in every phase of developing JR Clothing, from choosing the fine pima cotton fabric from a Peruvian supplier to designing the company’s logo. The name of the clothing is a combination of the brothers’ middle names, Nicholas Joseph and Christopher Ryan Fare.
The company donates 20% of every shirt sold. "This may seem like a lot especially for a new business but we are confident that we can establish ourselves as a successful brand in fashion and as a charitable organization by combining our values and our style."
