# SteadyGear Collective

[SteadyGear Collective](https://apparel-workwear.mock.shop/llms.txt) is a [mock.shop](https://www.mock.shop/) sample store for building against a workwear and uniform shop before a real Shopify store is ready. The catalog includes chef coats, aprons, scrubs, work jackets, tool belts, and cargo pants. There are 59 products across five collections. Products have 12 variants each, with product-specific choices for building selectors.

mock.shop is an auth-free Shopify Storefront GraphQL API backed by sample reference stores. Find out more about [mock.shop sample stores](https://www.shopify.com/blog/mock-shop).

## When to use this store

Choose SteadyGear Collective when you want to build a workwear and uniform store with chef coats, aprons, scrubs, work jackets, tool belts, and cargo pants.

Use SteadyGear Collective for:

- A workwear shop with chef coats, aprons, scrubs, and utility clothing
- Product pages with closure, fabric weight, fit, or pocket choices specific to each item
- Culinary and clinical clothing collections with option-driven prices

Choose another mock.shop store if you need single-variant clothing or a small everyday-fashion catalog. Browse <https://mock.shop/llms.txt> to find a store that matches your catalog.

## Example SteadyGear Collective query

Here’s an example GraphQL `POST` request that retrieves options and variant prices for one product from <https://apparel-workwear.mock.shop/api>:

```bash
curl https://apparel-workwear.mock.shop/api \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"query":"{ product(handle: \"canvas-work-apron-with-leather-straps\") { id title options { name values } variants(first: 50) { pageInfo { hasNextPage } nodes { id title selectedOptions { name value } price { amount currencyCode } compareAtPrice { amount currencyCode } availableForSale } } } }"}'
```

This query retrieves Canvas Work Apron with Leather Straps, including option values, variant IDs, selected options, availability, and current and compare-at prices. Use the selected variant’s ID and price when adding it to a cart.

The endpoint doesn't require authentication or an access token. Read <https://apparel-workwear.mock.shop/llms.txt> for catalog details and store-specific instructions.

## What this catalog lets you test

Build a workwear and uniform storefront with product pages, collection browsing, and mixed-item carts. Canvas Work Apron with Leather Straps uses Closure Type (Snap, Button, Zip) and Fabric Weight (Lightweight, Standard, Heavyweight, Reinforced). Use those returned values to build its selectors. All 59 products have prices that vary by selection, so keep product pages and carts aligned with the selected variant. Thirteen products have compare-at prices for sale displays. Collections such as Culinary Precision Gear and Clinical Mobility Essentials support themed browsing. Other option pairs include Fit and Pocket Configuration or Lining and Size. The sample labels aren’t proof of protective performance or workplace certification.

Preview the catalog in a storefront by opening <https://apparel-workwear.hydrogen.mock.shop> in a browser.

## Build with an AI coding tool

To build a workwear and uniform storefront with SteadyGear Collective using Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, or another AI assistant, copy the prompt below. It gives the assistant the store domain and directs it to the catalog instructions before it starts writing code.

```text
Build me a Hydrogen storefront using apparel-workwear.mock.shop as the store domain. Setup instructions: apparel-workwear.mock.shop/llms.txt
```

Shopify also provides a [mock.shop starter project](https://github.com/Shopify/mock-shop-starter): a Hydrogen storefront with product pages, collection browsing, and a working cart already connected to mock.shop. You or your AI coding tool can customize this code instead of building those pieces from scratch.

Follow the repository’s setup instructions, then set `PUBLIC_STORE_DOMAIN=apparel-workwear.mock.shop` in `.env` and restart the dev server to use SteadyGear Collective’s catalog. Leave `PUBLIC_STOREFRONT_API_TOKEN` empty; mock.shop doesn’t require a token.

## Move to a real Shopify store

mock.shop uses fictional, read-only catalog data. Cart operations work, and checkout is mocked: no payment is taken and no real order is placed. The Customer Account API isn’t supported.

When you’re ready to launch, point your storefront at a Shopify store and add that store’s public Storefront API token. If you don’t have a Shopify store yet, [start a Shopify free trial](https://www.shopify.com/free-trial) to create one.

Read the [mock.shop developer documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/headless/mock-shop) for setup and migration details.
