about Mechawear.com
We create innovative, eye catching fashion accessories using recycled bike chain, spokes, inner tubes, leather, fabric and anything else we can get our hands on before it hits the landfill. All MechaWear products are handmade in the USA.
Nothing makes us happier than keeping consumables out of the waste stream... except turning those items into something beautiful, wearable... Also, we love to convert our talent and love of art into charitable contributions.
Vision Statement: To design fun, colorful, unique accessories, to foster happy, long-term customer relationships and to help to make meaningful, lasting improvements in the lives of those in need.

We pride ourselves on original design. When we see a piece by another artist and find ourselves thinking “I could make that”, it's time to re-affirm our commitment to creating original pieces. As you look through our products... you won't find copies of other artists work. When you wear our pieces, you can feel totally comfortable in knowing that you've got an original MechaWear.
The original color! Red Mechawear bracelet recycled chain
Back in the day, when I was polling friends on design and playing with finish ideas and colors, my buddy Neil (author, blogger, social wizard) was doing professional metal finishing and he experimented with chemical patinas for me. I quickly eliminated that because the color wasn't nearly vibrant enough.
After about 50 different finish attempts... I arrived at the MechEnamel system, and this killer red. It's our best seller. It's been called "the ultimate expression of cycling culture".
green necklace | recycled chain & stainless spoke
Virtually every guy I talked to about the MechaWear bracelet requested green until it started to feel like some kind of crazy psychic badgerment. I began to fear a conspiracy... So the Necklace had to be done in green.
Odd thing is, now that it's been done, women are wearing it too. Women!! Not one female suggested green and now they're sporting it. Maybe they just needed dudes to lead the way. Check out the Look Book on our blog to see this eye-catching Necklace in action! $43.99.
green Mechawear bracelet
The ultimate fav amongst dudes. Who'd've guessed?
Guys wearing shiny stuff? Here's the deal: It's a must. You must express yourself in ways that show your confidence, interests, sense of style and, mostly, that you care enough about yourself to develop a personal aesthetic.
I don't care if it's MechaWear or some of the stuff that's in all the malls, for God's sake, get some freekin' bling!
red mechawear recycled chain necklace
It's a string of glowy, sparkly red attraction juice. Caution! You WILL be noticed and you will be complimented. It's okay, he likes your personality, too.
Started out as a full string of links around the neck. We found that to be a bit heavy (you can still get it that way. Just send a request in the contact form). So we created the partial spoke loop that cradles the neck and pivots in the back. Boom! Magic.

Seriously! If this bracelet or any MechaWear item fails to make you feel totally happy and fill you with bliss and absolute wonderment, we'll refund your total purchase price plus a free cash gift AND restore you to your formerly MechaWear-free existence.
That, btw, is what's known as an old school Ron Popeil style no-risk guaranty! Only better.
