Work Clothes, Boot For Women
Until recently, do-it-yourselfers of the feminine persuasion were stuck with trying to adapt men's gear to their needs. But thanks to Marissa McTasney and her company, Moxie Trades, there's now a line of products made especially for women.
McTasney got the idea when she tried to buy work boots for herself and found that they weren't available in women's sizes.
"Women generally have a different fit, so men's sizes just don't fit that well," she says. "And men's boots just aren't very attractive."
One thing lead to another, and McTasney ended up designing, and working with existing manufacturers to produce a whole line of stylish women's work gear including not only work boots, but also hard hats, tool belts, safety glasses, safety harnesses and apparel. What makes the product line unique is that each item is available in a choice of pink, baby blue and in some cases, black and tan.
This allows women to look stylish, and yet be comfortable, prepared and safe on the job.
Her products are generally no more expensive than those available for men.
