FOUNDER STORY

PARRY was born out of my love for jiu jitsu and olympic lifting. As a practitioner of both, my initial goal was to create the perfect training shorts for myself. PARRY draws inspiration from physical subcultures, skateboarding, rap music, tattoos, and original style. Our tagline is "Quality. Control." It plays on the fact that our products are built with quality control in mind; the technical elements of our fabrics and production ensure durability and utility, both of which are paramount when lifting or rolling.

Our tagline also plays on the fact that, at first glance, jiu jitsu and weightlifting may appear brutish, but both boil down to quality of movement and control over one's body.
