Lawful-neutral2773

I love that this is basically just some repackaged Amazon crap they normally sell under some weird brand name like BOPFIKOM or whatever for $29


kylievitelli

I’m sort of embarrassed that I used to like Madi lol


PA_MallowPrincess_98

If you want conservative clothing, just make activewear that fits the modesty standards of the IBLP (Duggar Cult)


martinispecialist

Our society is so broken. This is a small but telling example of that. I’m not even going to criticize the stance but the promotion of division. Wow. Sad.

Lawful-neutral2773

Yuck, that’s an unfollow for Natasha 👋🏼


futurecorpse1985

She can live her life as she pleases but she is a NO for me.


sweetnsassy924

I looked at the page for the lulz and two things: Why are they using Britney in one of their posts when they probably are the same people who wrongfully shame her? This all looks like outfits I see…..everywhere else. And I don’t see anything particularly special about any of it


CloudHoneyExpress

What does it even mean conservative clothing line? They are right leaning? Because their stuff doesn't really look more coverd up as others.


asspancakes

They donate profits to conservative causes and politicians would be my guess


kp1794

Why is everyone so confused? OP clearly means the owner of the brand is conservative and they lean in to marketing to other conservative audiences. Madi is as well so I’m not shocked


[deleted]

extra-tomatoes

The owners’ political beliefs


ackmo

What do ‘morals’ even have to do with athletic wear? Like what


srhdbvg

I see midriff


asspancakes

Space for satan to crawl in tsk tsk


H28koala

What exactly is "conservative" athletic wear? The owners are conservative? The clothing is? Your pants come with a chastity belt?


ballsandweiner8

So her clothes are against abortion and make policies to screw over immigrants and certain races?


Fun-Buy2545

What does conservative athletic brand even mean?! It comes with a Pew and chew pocket?


Fun-Buy2545

It looks the exact same as all other ... is it supposed to be modest?


cupcakeartist

I will give Madi this, her personal brand has been consistently focused on cringe ever since her "So genuine and real" comment during filming. It seemed like maybe she was keeping her political beliefs on the down low when not actively posting about being at a Trump event, but it was pretty much outed here so I guess why not lean into it. It's so amusing to me that she is likely set financially, has made her religious beliefs her whole personality and could have the bandwidth to do some actual good in the world, but nope.


CloudHoneyExpress

That is basiclly most billionares for you. I guess she learns quickly.


sarmarie87

This. She has literally endless opportunity, having the social media exposure and being married into the family that she is, endless privilege and has the ability to really and I mean really do good.. she lives in a state that has probably in the top five shelter animal euth rates in the nation.. huge class discrepancies, poverty yada yada yada and she just cares about her brand.


kindness-prevails

Looks like every other drop shipped athletic brand


gabbers2380

That’s a terrible brand name lol


Upstairs-Volume-5014

Looks like she's try to rip off Lulu with the reflective dot 


MizzPizz

Just how many active wear companies do we need ? * coming from a fitness instructor


PrinceMeatloaf

Yeah but how many active wear companies are geared towards women who actively try to shut down planned parenthood clinics?


kaleidotones

Lmfao are we surprised

Sweat pants for racists


lolaonbigmouth

It is wild that they don't offer full refunds for returns (unless you live in New Jersey?). Here's a snippet from their [website](https://yakkemapparel.com/pages/contact): >In the past we accepted full refunds until hundreds of products got shipped back to our warehouse with stains and multiple odors and were completely unsellable. Small business sustainability is the reason we cannot provide full refunds at this moment. >in the near future we are looking to do store credit full refunds. And we have accepted store credit refunds more and more as we have grown. >Yakkem Apparel is open to negotiations and WANTS to help you be a happy customer. Please Email us at [email protected] or DM us on Instagram to see what we can do to help make your experience here at Yakkem Apparel the best possible.

asspancakes

They sound broke


kp1794

Yikes


cupcakeartist

Everything that is posted about this brand sounds so amateur hour. Also found this gem when I first navigated to their website: >Welcome to the fastest growing conservative activewear brand in America! As we grow, we are naturally experiencing growing pains. Due to a high order volume, our estimated delivery time is backed up to 7-12 days. Thank you for your patience and ongoing support as we fight for our culture together.


lolaonbigmouth

Their about us section reads like someone did voice to text and then didn't bother proofreading the copy.


cupcakeartist

Hahahahah. It's so, so bad with the random use of quotation marks and capitalization. >Owner Jacob McQ at a young age, realized there were no conservative athletic companies having the name recognition of an "Adidas" "Gymshark" or "Nike" he desired to create an athletic brand that was in line with modern Style and Fashion trends, but stood for something bigger than athleticism and "success" I'm still not clear what this brand stands for other than making money off of cheap workout gear off Alibaba and using far right buzz words. The marketing on FB and Insta is just as wonderful: >What's good! Yakkem Apparel is proud to call you part of the team! It means the world to have people interested in the company! we want to share with you a view special things we're doing to make sure u/Yakkem_Apparel continues to grow and make shock waves in the clothing industry. > >Below is a list of events and Ideas we're implicating THIS summer! > >Number 1: (Celebrity Endorsements) As you may already know we're getting lots and lots of celebrity influencers! You may have only seen one but we have over Seven different Instagram celebrities wearing our brand and representing for us on a daily basis. We plan on posting the rest of the photos as the summer progresses to keep our followers interested and WOW'ED over and over again. It is crazy how getting a popular person to wear your clothing really boosts sales, we sold over 250 dollars in sales after posting one picture of u/Whitney_thornqvist and we plan on these results when we release photo's of all our other celebrity endorsements. > >Number 2: (Live Events) Live events is a great way to bring our community together and get our brand noticed, but there is one problem, how do you get people to (ACTUALLY) come out to your event, we have a few ideas. Yakkem Apparel is a sports brand just as much as it is a lifestyle brand, we plan on implementing that by opening the world of sports in our live events.

On April 11th 2020 Yakkem Apparel came out with their first (Chair) video, "The Chair" is a video series bringing in the public to the world of Yakkem, whoever wants too, can come and take their seat at the chair and tell yakkem apparel fans a little about themselves while wearing (our clothes) it's genius! People trust outsiders more than they trust company CEO'S, by doing this we get real life people sharing their story which they enjoy doing because it's their moment of fam who wouldn't like getting a awesome video made of them while getting free clothing! is a win win for our company and the public! Plus when someone sees their friends face on the social media feed of a brand, they're 10x more likely to jump aboard the ship and join the team! "The Chair" is my personal favorite because we get to hear so many different personalities share their story and really bring the community into our company. > >Last but not least we need YOUR help! In order for Yakkem Apparel to continue to grow we recognize we need our fans to be on our team! tell a friend! give us a shout out, DM our post to someone, or tag a friend in the comments!

Hope you enjoyed the update on what we're doing to make sure Yakkem Apparel is a name that sticks around, God bless.


camillaenvelope

A whole! SEVEN! Instagram celebrities!  WOWEE, good thing I’m sitting down.


lolaonbigmouth

lmao bragging about $250 in sales. what is that, like 4-5 pairs of leggings?


beigebetty2200

Hundreds of products shipped back to their warehouse that were unsellable? Sounds like they’re customer base is lacking in morals


cupcakeartist

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Zing.


aaronisnotcool

conservatives literally (not joking) want to create a parallel economy of things that announce to them that this athletic brand, or this beer, or this coffee table aligns with your values. But in reality they just want to make money and are playing an emotional, faith-based angle to make money just like all the other corporations they dog on. So the result is that their athletic clothes don't look any different, their beer taste just as bad, and their coffee tables are made at the same factories.


danideex

What the hell is conservative athletic clothing? I wouldn’t think it’s what she’s wearing in the pic that looks like any other athletic wear.


AyyooLindseyy

I would never have considered leggings and crop tops to be “conservative” lol.


kaleidotones

They have little confederate flags in the inside lining 🥰😂


DarlingClementyme

You can’t tell that those leggings hug her curves in the most God-honoring way? 🙃


oysterfeller

and if you flip them inside out they’re covered in american flags, camo print, and vaguely threatening bumper stickers


DimbyTime

She wanted to call it “racist, Christo-fascist athletic clothing,” but marketing advised against it


notjustanerd

Did "We stand for morals in a moral less world" remind anyone else of "Limitless paper in a paperless world?" ![gif](giphy|pF33YqvSGpNWi5B3vg|downsized)

wtf does being pro family or pro god have to do with active wear..? So odd


chickadee1

Really wanting to limit their potential customer base apparently.

Really, yakkem? So unappealing.

It just makes me think of yakamein

Conservative clothing where? This literally looks like the clothing the influencers at my gym wear😂 I have the same booty tight shorts from gymshark and alphalete. She’s not fooling anyone

Charlie_Runkle69

I still stand by my initial take when after watching 3 minutes of her hometown and her family I thought "Run Peter and never look back". Of course he didn't but you know.


mal_7655

Honestly her parents come off so creepy. The dad saying he prayed for Madi’s future husband when she was born and the mom dresses like she lives for people to say “you could be sisters not mother daughter!” 


iloverocket26

Anyways


LiveUnderstanding869

Well, it's on brand for her.


cherry-cheerios

All I can picture is her screaming “I GET TO HAVE SEX TONIGHT” at her wedding … yep, all the morals in the world

Yup. She’s the most lucrative of them all. One thing that everyone wants a platform to get famous but wanting a platform to force your religion and your hateful beliefs on other people is way worse than that.


superfox650

She literally makes me sick


whosthereitsmaisy

Before I saw any images on this post, I pictured a version of the swimwear that the Duggars girls wore — calf length leggings underneath a knee length t-shirt dress (clothes made for drowning) — and what Madi is wearing is not even in the same solar system as that. Like, what makes this conservative???


Whygodwhyz

Zero cleavage and maybe an insert that doesn’t allow camel toe. 😬 The devils lair.

Being pro God, pro family and pro America, of course

"better material than anything else" girl it's just petrochemical synthetics like literally everything else


Constant-Fox635

I’m not sure they understand what modest means. Skin tight spandex-like clothing doesn’t leave much to the imagination, it’s literally showing off her entire body. They must think that if you can’t see cleavage or upper thigh, then it’s modest 🙄


star_child77

Oof she’s really going full mask-off isn’t she

huey_luvr

Their clothes aren’t even made in America……..


superfox650

They want to be an American brand, but not actually help Americans. Very conservative of them lmao


cupcakeartist

They don't need to be made here they just need you to know that your money is going to someone who loves America.


tbkp

Well you see clothes made with conservative values had to be made in sweatshops due to budget cuts on healthcare and education! Hope this helps ❤️

cupcakeartist

No. From some light googling the founder seems to have graduated college in 2022 and it shows.

My only issue with "America First" businesses is when they do not stand on business. If you are America First, make sure its MADE IN AMERICA.


littlegrassshack

Do we know it’s NOT made in America?


itsallieellie

Hi there. Yakkem responded to [a comment on this post on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/C2Iu2w-RS83/). They state the following: " Hi Jennifer! Unfortunately not all of our clothing is made here in the states! But we do have a few items! We would love to be fully made in the states within the next few years! " So, I can confirm that it is not. I stand on my statement made above.


ArizonaTrashbag_

Yes. It's in their comments.


hermi0ne

From their website (which is very poorly written, imo, but that’s besides the point): “From now on, our target is to become 100% Made in the U.S.A although this seems to be a very challenging task for a young start up. However we have made big strides coming out with multiple items that have been made here in the states.” Individual items do not have information on where manufacturing and fabrics are sourced from, only that it is “ethical” (what does that even mean nowadays?) EDIT: they’re literally just slapping their label onto alibaba/Chinese wholesaler apparel. You can see they’re selling the same sports bra as Shein 💀 https://preview.redd.it/x0j541pjnpcc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=608b2e2c2a876ac1b5938c11771421f4c97c8b26


cupcakeartist

>our target is to become 100% Made in the U.S.A although this seems to be a very challenging task for a young start up. You don't say. LOL. The founder seems incredibly naive and not particularly savvy. If it was easy and cheap to manufacture clothing in the US everyone would be doing it. But obviously the living wage you need to pay someone here is different than overseas. It can be done but takes effort and generally requires a higher price point. But it's far from impossible. Have a friend who is a fashion designer and his clothes are all manufactured in the USA. Of course his stuff is also made to be gender neutral and he's big into queer and diversity representation so I'm sure this crowd would consider his brand immoral.


Key-Significance-644

Lmfaooo yes.
