// Product Presentation By:

Our goal is to help our customers enjoy the full potential of 21st century technologies, and to create garments and products that serve multiple functions and address daily necessities. A T-shirt can be more then just a shirt if you begin the design process with novel fibers. All of our products are designed, developed and manufactured right here in the USA, using top of the line production and quality control methods to ensure that our products are manufactured with great care and are of the highest quality. The Alphyn Wearcom™ line really addresses the need of using the devices regularly and wearing them comfortably. We are also incredibly proud of our ЯGen™ Silver Armor brand, garments that are truly advanced at the microscopic level and protect the wearer from invisible but dangerous environmental hazards.

Started by former owners of apparel brands who have a penchant for small labels and boutiques, Lookaroo is based in San Francisco, CA, but is happy to call the global community its home.
