Brown Man Clothing Co. @ India Day Celebration

Sunday, August 9, 2009, downtown Toronto at Dundas Square was the location for the 10th annual India Day celebration and Brown Man Clothing Co. was there.
The day started off nice and then just before noon, the rain came down! And it came down hard and fast! Just when it was believed that this day was ruined, the rain stopped, as if Shiva herself put Mother Nature in a head lock and told her to get lost, and the sun came beaming down! And then... the dancing and music and the food started!
What a great day we had! We met so many fellow South Asians, sampled India Tea, got a few tips and tricks on how to meditate and best of all, we met Brown Man Clothing Co. fans!
We would like to thank everyone that came out to the event, stopped by the Brown Man Clothing Co. booth and said HEY! Deal was, buy a shirt, get your picture taken; well, to those that were not camera shy that is. If you want to see yourself, check it out here.
Thanks again to everyone that came out and supported us. See you at the next big event!

Praying to Allah for...

We love getting crazy and funny desi related pictures from our fans. Now this is new, is this really even appropriate? How is this guy still alive? You got to wonder, what is he praying for exactly?
If you have funny or interesting desi related pictures, send them to us: info@brownmanclothing.com.

Brown Man Clothing Co. Models @ Fashion Fundraiser in Support of Mount Sinai

On May 12, 2009, Brown Man Clothing Co. participated in the FIRST ever, Fashion Fundraiser in Support of Mount Sinai Emergency Centre. We were the ONLY South Asian clothing line asked to participate in this one of a kind event!

What an event! The setting was perfect, everyone was hot, photograhers everywhere; it was just a great night period!

Then, the show started! Okay, yeah, it started a bit late but you gotta keep your audience waiting right? Well, it was worth the wait. The Brown Man Clothing Co. line was started with a funky bhangara beat, a classical Indian dancer came out and got the crowd started and then, the Brown Man Clothing Co. girls came out to strut their stuff! The crowd loved it! And we loved it! All of those weeks of practising paid off! We thank all of the girls that rocked the runway for us. We will be posting more pictures as they come.

I Love Kebobs!

There is never a dull moment at the Brown Man Clothing Co. headquarters I tell you. If someone is not joking around about their wedding proposals or telling a story about an auntie or even making aunties jokes, then something is wrong! Our brains may have been taken out by canabalistic aliens.

Much like every first day of the week, we all gather and sit in our brown board room and get everyone up to speed on what is going on at Brown Man Clothing Co. . Our intern, Kashif, a quiet and rather shy guy, had a funny story to relate that made us all laugh until our bellies hurt. It goes something like this:

Kashif was at his local bank on the weekend and was being helped by an older punjabi lady. As she helped him, she kept on looking at his shirt, Mohinderpal's Kebobs House. Being oblivious to why she kept on starring at him, Kashif thought nothing of it. Just before he left, the nice bank representative stopped him to ask, "... this Kebob House... where is it?" Realizing what she had been looking at now, Kashif smiled politely and answered, "Oh, um, er, it is an old shirt, it is no longer around." With her dismay, she responded by saying, "That is too bad! I love kebobs! And your shirt says that his kebobs were spicy? I love spicy kebobs in my mouth!" With that, Kashif burst out laughing and left. You can tell why.

It just goes to show you, the clothes at Brown Man Clothing Co. are not your typical desi wear.

Got an interesting story to tell while wearing your Brown Man Clothing Co. shirt? Let us know about it. Post it here or send it to us at info@brownmanclothing.com. Until then, drink chai!

Hijabi's Are Hot!

Welcome to the official Brown Man Clothing Co. blog site. The powers that be at Brown Man Clothing Co. assigned me with the task of creating a blog. That is what us marketing people do, we get the jobs that no one else wants to do! But don't tell them that I said that! So what am I to do? I guess tell you all about Brown Man Clothing Co. . and what we do and how we do it and who we do it for, etc. Wow, that may take some time. So relax, sit back, have a samosa, have some chai because here we go!

When people ask about Brown Man Clothing Co., they always want to know if we have ever receive hate mail regarding our images. What it comes down to is that you will never please everyone. Especially in our desi culture!

The short answer is yes, we have received 'negative' remarks regarding our clothing. Of course, as everyone can imagine, the bulk of it is about our best seller for men "Hijabi's Are Hot!"

The shirt depicts a line art drawing of a traditional Islamic woman wearing a hijab, a head garment, with the caption, 'Hijabi's Are Hot!'

What is the big deal? Some say that the hijab is to be a sign of modesty, a sign of a woman being humble and not an accessory to personify beauty. There is a story of how this image became and it when I asked the founder of Brown Man Clothing Co. he responded by stating; "... the inspiration came during a trip to the Middle East. While at a mall, I looked around and saw these goregous women all dressed in black with big beautiful eyes and sublte make up. I could not take my eyes off these women as even though they were covered from head to toe, there was something that was so intriguing! Something mysterious! It was then, when I missed my mouth while trying to take a sip from my chai that 'Hijabi's are hot!'"

Recently, during a South Asian festival, I saw a young male wearing this shirt. Beside him, was his mother who was wearing a hijab. I felt compelled to ask his mother what she felt about the image. I downed my chaat papri and my lassi and asked her how she felt about this image. Expecting to get some sort of "These bastard teenagers these days! They need to get married!' response, she suprisingly responded by saying the shirt was in fact a good promotion of Islamic women and how it indicates that the women that wear the hijab are not necessarily uptight religious fundamentals but in fact modern, liberated women.

So really, is it pushing the envelope? Has it gone to far? Or is this the first step in accepting and advertising to the world how beautiful Islam really is? We'd love to know what you think.
