AMERICAN CLOTHING ENTERPRISES (A.C.E.) BRAND HISTORY
Born from the sentiment of the American people after 9-11-2001, A.C.E. was created as an apparel brand to never forget.
A.C.E. is committed to bringing nostalgic Americana, fun & fashion into the Men’s and Women’s casual lifestyle by using the latest trends and stylistic fabrications without sacrificing quality and value.
Today A.C.E. 1851 Vintage Denim and Tops core identity is basic. Consisting of denims, all seasonal tops and bottom that accentuate details in the stitching, washes, and on-trend design. Mixed with 1800’s American destination and advertising art, A.C.E. 1851 Vintage is masculine and feminine in fit.
The affirmation indicating that A.C.E.’s status as a fashion trend leader comes from the fact that there is today no authentic and true Americana apparel line that is capturing the sentiment of the American youth revolution of love, passion and oneness to be proud of their American heritage from its founding fathers. From this, this portfolio shows the intention of bringing together an Americana lifestyle brand of denim crops, hip hugger bellbottoms, the long jeans, the skinny, the jegging, the flare, embroidered smocking, rompers, jackets, coats, and outerwear. To complement the bottoms there is a collection of garment dyed mineral wash modal viscose cotton blended vintage 1800’s to early 1900’s destination and advertising art tees.
Categories include active wear, headwear, footwear, belts, bags, homewares, automotive, firearms, stationary, wall art, and jewelry, etc.
The brand American Clothing Enterprise 1851 Vintage represents the proud history of the struggles and successes of the American people as ONE. Satisfaction guaranteed, the care put into the cut, the attention to detail down-to-the-rivets, washes, treatments and latest graphic techniques offers a commitment to consistency.
A.C.E.’s future in partnership with its retailers and licensees, is clearly limitless.
