Our Story

About Us

All Neighborhoods Gear is more than a clothing brand — it is a movement built to restore pride, purpose, and possibility in communities across America. We exist for those who are striving to build legacies financially, spiritually, physically, and mentally. Our mission is simple: Helping Our Own Do Something Good.

We believe in teaching through self‑example, inspiring through positive expression, and building through unity. From these values, a true brotherhood and sisterhood will form — one that will live long after today’s goals are achieved.

Every neighborhood has heroes whom never made the news, never chased fame, and never asked for recognition. These are the people who have lived the struggle, overcome obstacles, and built meaningful lives.

All Neighborhoods Gear is committed to bringing these real heroes to our youth, giving them role models who reflect their reality and their potential.

Today’s young people face a maze of misinformation, negative imagery, and limited opportunities to represent their neighborhoods in a positive way. Many are judged before they ever get a chance to show who they truly are.

HOODS‑G — Helping Our Own Do Something Good — is our answer. Our clothing line gives youth a visible, stylish, powerful way to say: 

“I love my neighborhood, and I choose to be a positive force within it.”

With strong community alignment and intentional marketing, HOODS‑G becomes more than apparel — it becomes a statement of identity, hope, and direction. We do not associate negativity with our brand. We stand for upliftment, unity, and progress.

Our goal is clear: To create a positive, culturally relevant clothing line that helps youth navigate life with confidence, pride, and purpose — while connecting them to real heroes from their own neighborhoods.

Together, we are building a future where young people proudly represent where they come from, where communities rise through shared effort, and where every neighborhood has the chance to do something good.

This is All Neighborhoods Gear. This is HOODS‑G. This is the movement.

All Neighborhoods Gear started in 2004 with a simple belief:

There's good in every neighborhood, and it deserves to be seen.

What began as one parent's mission to change how the neighborhood is viewed has grown into a full brand — apparel, shoes, and accessories that carry a message of peace, positivity, and unity everywhere they go.

The Founder

About

The founder of All Neighborhoods Gear, Kevin Hoodsg Washington Sr., started out as a private in the United States military and rose to the rank of lieutenant — a journey that says everything about who he is. A graduate of the University of South Carolina, he later found himself raising a family as a single parent in Los Angeles, in a neighborhood shadowed by gang life.

Rather than accept the narrative that the neighborhood was just another negative, burnt-out place, he saw something different: a whole community of good people who wanted better and deserved to be represented. So he built a brand to show it. All Neighborhoods Gear became his way of shining a brighter light on the neighborhood — giving the good people in it the representation they'd been missing, and painting the whole place in a new light.

PHILOSOPHY

All Neighborhood Gear

We connect with our hearts. Every piece we make is built to represent the good in the neighborhood and to put a symbol of positivity into the world — something you can wear to school, work, church, or the game, and mean it. That's the heart of Helping Our Own Do Something Good: when we lift up our own and show unity, everybody's neighborhood gets brighter.
