The One Way Ticket Show Interview with our Owner/Designer Adam Rapp

one way ticket interview 93 Past guests include:
Mo Rocca - Comedian / TV Host
Seth Kugel - NY Times Frugal Traveler
Richard Quest - CNN Anchor

Premise:
Host Steven Shalowitz offers his guests a one way ticket to the destination and time of their choice.

Adam is honored to be the latest guest issued a one way ticket! He and Steven talk about how Clothing Arts was founded. Where he gets the ideas behind the innovative pocket designs and how travel plays a role in creating new products.

Adam's one way ticket is a turn back the clock to the days when Clothing Arts was just an idea. To 2007 & the roof top of a hostel overlooking the blue mosque in Istanbul, where he could have chosen to join a traveler on the overland route from Turkey to Egypt or begin his search for a factory to produce the first Clothing Arts designs.

He had a great time on the show and we'd love you to take a few minutes and hear Adam's passion for travel and creating some of the world finest travel gear!

Washington Post Travel Covers our Pick-Pocket Proof Pants™

Noted Washington Post columnist Christopher Elliot included our Pick-Pocket Proof Pants™ in his weekend travel section column today! We use the most functional zippers in any casual wear garment and the story highlights the use of zippers for travel security.

Titled: There’s safety in zippers: My top picks for foiling pickpockets

"Little things sometimes make a big difference when it comes to travel safety. Like a strategically placed zipper."

"I’ll be the first to admit it: Zippers don’t make for exciting reading. But isn’t that the point? From inconspicuous pants to ties that make your checked bag harder to break into, the gadgets that can keep you safer on the road are completely unremarkable — until you need them. If you’re traveling somewhere for adventure this summer, you’ll want to pack these accessories."

"Adam Rapp, who owns a boutique travel apparel company called Clothing Arts , agrees that small features can spell the difference between being a lucky tourist and a hapless victim. In 2006, on a trip to Xian, China, he was targeted by a team of pickpockets, who took him for an easy mark.

'Luckily, we noticed something was happening just in time to watch them disappear into the crowded mass of people behind of us,' he says. “That was when I looked down at the wide-open pockets on my chinos and thought, ‘Why not combine the security of money-belts and a great pair of travel pants?’ ”

The result is Clothing Arts’ pickpocket-proof travel pants ($99-$109), which have a hidden passport and money pocket that gives you the option of layering two and even three levels of security between your wallet and the world.

Bob Nielsen, a college professor from West Lafayette, Ind., says the pants were worth the purchase price. On a recent trip to France, he had tucked his wallet and passport into the left cargo pocket of his Clothing Arts pants, sealing it with the snap and buttons.

'As we were boarding a train at a small station one stop beyond the main station at Nice, I felt a small tug at the left pocket,' Nielsen remembers. 'I instinctively slapped at the hand as I turned around to see a young woman and her male companion looking at me as if to say, ‘How dare you foil our attempt to pick your pocket!’ ”
