Bobby Wiggins, Moral Fabric

Even though Bobby Wiggins called Dallas home for a long while, the native Houstonian is back in our city, and making good use of his time here. He's got a line of t-shirts that are pretty, rockin', sweet, whatever you want to call them -- they look good! And young Bobby is running the business on his own. He calls the positive-message-only t-shirt line Moral Fabric.

Why did you start Moral Fabric?
Moral Fabric is a collection of thoughts and concepts that were never intended to go on t-shirts. As far as I was concerned, they would stay in my journal forever. It wasn’t until one day while I was flipping through the past few years of journal entries that it dawned on me – wow, these ideas would make some pretty cool t-shirts! At that point in my life I needed to be passionate about something new…something that would still allow me to be creative, but something that could offer me more of a career than the music production avenue I was traveling down. So, I hit the ground running. I took my ideas, elaborated them to be more design friendly, bugged the hell out of local silk screeners…and somehow I ended up with a bunch of t-shirts and an e-commerce website. It all came together so well, like I’m supposed to be doing this. As far as where the name “Moral Fabric” came from, well, it was just a given really. All my designs focused on the positive side of life. So, “Moral Fabric’ was my first and only choice for a clothing line.

What’s the most difficult aspect of having your own line?
The most challenging aspect of having my own “line” is the fact that I do everything myself. I am ultimately responsible for all the decisions that need to be made with Moral Fabric. But, I like to stay busy, busy, busy… so everything is good!

What is your favorite design that you’ve come up with?
Although I love them all, I currently have two favorites: “Ahimsa” and “Music Organic”. These two pretty much sum up the future design direction of Moral Fabric. You can expect to see a lot more organic elements in the future. I’m actually working on a design right now that is moving up the ranks on my favorites list…it’s a giant octopus that covers the WHOLE front of the shirt…sleeves and all. It’s going to be SWEET!!
