Military Service Inspires Fashion Career
Story by Tracy KromerOhio National Guard Public Affairs
Friends since childhood, Jermaine Jenkins and Andre Wilson are two former Ohio National Guard members with business savvy and entrepreneurial spirit. In 2005, they formed JWORK Limited, passionate to give back to their community and inspire fellow veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. JWORK is a military-inspired clothing brand with an online presence, designed and custommade in Columbus, Ohio. Jenkins, company CEO and designer, began designing jerseys in 1996 and said he has always had an interest in fashion. "Much of what I liked I could not afford," Jenkins said. Improvising with clothing design became his way of expressing personal style and having a voice in fashion. JWORK - initially a nickname Jenkins inherited during his high school basketball career, now stands for Justified Wealth of Real Kings. "I heard it in my mind. It's powerful, not about wealth, but about what it means to you," Jenkins said. "We like to see what understanding people come up with on their own," Wilson said. The JWORK brand has a strong military inspiration, and its slogan, 'five-star lifestyle clothing,' means "having the best of the best in life – it's about enjoying yourself and where you're at in your life," Wilson said. The brand has evolved from its beginnings designing custom jerseys, now expanding to polo shirts, graphic T-shirts and hoodies. "We want to create real pieces with a vintage flair," Jenkins said. Jenkins and Wilson joined the Ohio National Guard together in 2001. Their experiences and cultural exposure while deployed overseas influenced the direction of JWORK. Read the whole article here
