About Us

June 2025 - Spain, Mangualde da Serra

Being able to travel over the summer of 2024 & 2025 if only for just over a week or so each time, provided a certain amount of clarity, time to reset and time to reflect. After turning 50 last year and children now starting their own journeys I realised that life is very short indeed and how the hell was I 50...

This has driven me to start something new, still working my 9-5 for now (Nov 2025), but hopefully with some hard work this could change how I spend my next 20 years. 

The inspiration behind the 450-Apparel brand came originally from the chasing Sunsets design and just feeling so at peace travelling on my motorbike across country, the brand name came from a spin off on a motorcycle wheel and brake pads and thus 450-Apparel was born.

I've always been into my branded or unique clothes and thought this would be a perfect avenue to provide my own limited edition clothing designs made from quality materials to the general public..
