Master barber Patrick Lavoie Jr.Brass, owner of Ports City Barber in Portsmouth, is looking to expand his line of clothing called Brass Knuckle Scrappers Wicked Tough Apparel.

Brass Knuckle Scrappers - Wicked Tough Apparel

Lavoie has been developing and testing this clothing line idea for the past two years after he created hooded sweatshirts and t-shirts for a scrap metal business. Now he is looking to launch the business idea into the next phase with Kickstarter.

So far, his Kickstarter campaign has received $742 towards the $25,000 goal. The money would go towards displays, hangers, racks, shelving, body molds, signage, tables, event tents and a trailer for storage and transport. It would also support other necessary business needs and marketing efforts.

Lavoie is determined to see his new business venture succeed and focus on giving his fellow New Englanders the rugged style they need.
