Poker Players Making Clothes? Not Quite!
 
February 3, 2010

Poker players are known for many things, but not necessarily making their own clothes. You might find this ironic – as we did here – but sometimes the two intermix and you end up with something that you never saw coming. Apparently the clothing industry did not see it as such a big stretch and have entered into the poker arena to get their next stars.
 
The clothing company KSINO has announced that hey have signed two of poker’s most exciting new players. They said that they were looking for people who personified the idea of their clothing brand – people who “live and love a fast paced lifestyle.” This is where they got the idea of signing poker professionals Lacey Jones and Leo Margets. The clothing company felt that these two poker professionals were the epitome of that life style and that they would be perfect for the brand.
 
What is already interesting about this is that Jones is not just a poker player – she is also a model. Modeling and wearing the clothing line is surely second nature to her. She is also only one of three women to get on the cover of Bluff magazine in the history of the magazine.  She says that what she loves about the clothes is that they are fun and you look great wearing them.
 
Margets fame comes from an entirely different place. She was the last woman remaining at the 2009 World Series of Poker and took home her first cash as a poker player from that event. She took home a little more than $350,000 for the win, and finished 27th place out of 6,500 players.
