Spring Training 2016
If you follow this blog at all you know I have a thing for baseball tee’s. I think because they remind me that spring is on it’s way and opening day for the Boston Red Sox is getting closer by the minute.
District Made and Sport Tek are apparently feeling the same way..except I don’t know weather they are Red Sox fans but oh well. Here are their styling tips for the baseball tee.
Besides turning these ideas into high office fashion these tee’s and sweatshirts would be great for corporate team building, spirit wear, company outings, or family gatherings.

Charles River Doggie Rain Gear
For all you with four-legged BFF’s are you ready for this cuteness?
Charles River has just introduced the New Englander Doggie Rain Jacket. It coordinates with the human version so you and your pal can step out in style.
A few of the product features include:
- 100% wind and waterproof shell
- Leash access opening
- Back pocket for doggie bags and treats
- Silver reflective trim for visibility
These jacekts are a great way to promote your pet store, grooming shop, vet practice, or specialty shop that focuses on the tourist trade. (Think Newport, RI in the summer.)
We don’t have a sample in the shop as of yet but if you want to check one out in person drop us a line and we will make it happen.

Patterned Fleece Blankets..who knew?
I really should spend more time browsing on-line. (And Dale its for research purposes I promise….)
We have a lot of blankets that come through the shop all in great colors. But none ever have patterns. Then while browsing (for research purposes of course) I found these beauties.
Patterned blankets may not work for everyone but they just might kick off your next big marketing/branding idea.
Now back to browsing…I mean research…
2016 E-CATALOGS UPDATED
The snow day yesterday allowed us (and by us I mean me…) to get the E-Catalogs updated. I even added a couple of new ones. Not sure how I missed these last year but check out the 2016 Pennant and Game catalogs. Great for teams, clubs, and spirit wear.
Our featured catalog today is from Blue Generation. These guys offer a nice range of items for the restaurant, hospitality, and service industries. But there are plenty of garments perfect for the corporate world including cardigans for the ladies and oxfords for the men. The size range on most styles is from XXS thru 5XL. They even have Youth sizes on select items. And their color options are bold which makes it easy to find a color to match most any logo or branding requirement.
The Four Top Sweatshirts of The Week
We all know this awesome weather won’t last and therefore the heavy weight sweatshirts are flying out the door.
The most asked question this week was “What do you have for sweatshirts.” So I thought I would pull together the top four that we have seen the most orders for in the past two weeks.
First up is the Champion 12oz Reverse Weave Hoodie.
This is by far our most popular hoodie for all our customers from landscapers to construction workers to those in the restaurant business that offer delivery service.
Second is this gem by Camber.
As you can see by the picture above it is a true thermal hoodie This is made here in the USA and while it is a bit more pricey if you work outside during the coldest months it will be well worth the extra spent. This comes in Safety Orange and Safety Green as well.
Third is the Gildan 9oz Ringspun Hoodie.
Not as heavy weight as the first two but if you are doing more work indoors this would be the choice for you.
Last is from Charles River. It is brand new so we actually haven’t had any orders for this yet but customers are sampling it to see how they like it.
This is the Charles River Thermal Bonded Sherpa Lined Full Zip sweatshirt. It weighs in at 11oz of coziness. It has a waffle weave exterior and we are finding mix reactions to its look. Kind of like dry fit polo shirts vs. cotton …you either love them or hate them.
So there you have it. The top four sweatshirts of the week. Come on by to check out our samples.
Fruit of the Loom for Fall 2015
Yes I am posting a catalog on line with a beach scene on it and yes I am aware that fall started yesterday. There is a method to my madness however. Fruit of the Loom has some great colors with awesome contrasting details that will be perfect for you crew to carry you into the cooler fall weather.
Fruit of the Loom sweatshirts are soft, wear well, and I love the contrasting detail in the hoods, zipper plackets, and drawstrings. Take a flip through the catalog and find your fall colors and remember June will be here before you know it….
Double click the catalog to view it full screen.
Digital Stripes
While doing some jacket research for a customer I ran across this new offering from Port Authority. This is a digital striped 12.8 oz fleece jacket that comes in both mens and ladies sizing. As Port Authority puts it “takes you from workout essential to sleek polished office style.” For me personally, I just like the modern look of it.
Click digital stripe to go to our Port Authority page where you can see color options, add your logo and zoom in and out to see the jacket in more detail. Let us know what you think by leaving a comment below.
