 A new, social conscience apparel company is poised to take the world by storm.  x1981x Clothing Company is an online retail business that specializes in gear with a special message, advocating  a clean way of living. x1981x got its start in by printing t-shirts for "Hellfest",which started as a hardcore punk music festival during the summer of 1996 in Syracuse, New York. Named for the intense summer heat at the show, it soon became a staple festival for the hardcore and punk rock scene. Hellfest, known for its fan-friendly atmosphere, its social-awareness focused on issues such as animal rights. Many of its attendees were followers of the Straight Edge and/or Vegan lifestyles. And it was after its cancellation in 2005,that the company began to set its focus to the online retail world.
