Machina is hard at work developing pieces for an upcoming line of Ring Apparel - shorts, tops, bras and robes meant for competition wear. Our goal is to produce clothing that is functional, but with a little feminine flair. We know you're tired of having to wear the same stuff the guys wear!

While we work on this check out some inspiration boards we put together...

WE NEED YOUR INPUT!

Calling all female fighters, women warriors and beautiful boxers: To help us plan and deliver the best solution for competition wear we could use your feedback.

FIRST SKETCH, MACHINA RING WEAR, 2015

INSPIRATION FOR FUTURE FIGHT CAPE/ROBE

If you're like us, then you may believe, as we do, that the conventional "boxing bathrobe" is played out. Sure, it's good enough for gorillas (no offense), but a woman needs something a bit more stylish and all her own. Below are some sample inspiration for our "Combat Cover-up" or perhaps it'll be a "Puncher's Poncho". At any rate, we hope to bring you something a little different while still being true to tradition. Stay tuned.
