About us

Our Way

  • We are howies, a small active clothing company based in Cardigan Bay on the west coast of Wales.

    We make mens and womens clothing for the sports we love – biking, running and the outdoors, as well as for our day to day lives.

    We believe in a thing called quality. We believe that making a product which lasts longer is better for the environment.

  • And we believe in making our stuff in a low impact way. So all of our t-shirts, sweatshirts and jeans are made from organic cotton and no silly stuff. After all, that just seems like common sense to us.

Printshop

  • T-shirts are the the first product that howies ever made. Since then, we've done hundreds of designs and they have continued to be close to our hearts. They are a great canvas for ideas, for how we think and what we believe.

    And one thing you can be sure of when you buy one of our printed organic cotton t-shirts is that it was screenprinted by hand in our own little printshop, here in Cardigan.

  • Using an old-fashioned carousel, silk mesh screens and a bit of elbow grease, Tidy Mike and Tom print each and every one of them with the same level of skill, craftsmanship and respect for the end product as they deserve.

    We are very proud of that.

    As well as printing howies designs, our printshop also offers it's services to the outside world.

  • Meaning, if you've got a club, group, charity or company, we can work with you to print a batch of your very own design on howies organic cotton t-shirts.

Social

  • Being a bunch of geeks, we love the social networks. Where else can you see such an incredible wealth of information and share it so quickly and easily? Even if the information is a video of a dog on a skateboard.

    We've got a Facebook, which is all about giving you unique content and getting your opinions and input. We run competitions on there, we show you behind the scenes at howies and post videos, photos and stuff that we think you might like.

  • We've also got a Twitter that you can follow, if you're on there. It's a place where we post news about goings on at howies, as well as product information and occasional 'first dibs' news on howies discount events. Our Twitter name is @howies.

    On top of those, we've also got a Tumblr and our own Vimeo page. Like we said, we are a bunch of geeks.
