Stop the Press! We do Decals!

Friday was a good day at the shop. Of course it was a good day because it was Friday but more importantly we completed our first decal job on the new Roland Versacamm printer.

The new printer allows us to print full color decals and perforate them in the required shape.

The best part of this process is it means no minimums! So if you have 10 decals or 10,000 we can do the job right in house, with no “less than minimum” charge, and help you save on shipping.

Decals 4Our Facebook page has a video of the decals coming off the machine. Take a peek!

A White Blazer and A Denim Shirt

While scrolling through my Instagram feed  I ran across this.

White Blazer

What a curious look…and yet kind of a brilliant idea. The blazer pulls everything together and adds polish to the outfit but the denim shirt says we are not taking this too seriously. (I think I have been reading too many fashion blogs…)

Would you try this look for your next event like a trade show or corporate retreat?

Gray for a Bohemian Inspired Look

While looking through our  Bloglovin’ feed this picture, in a post by TLVBirdie, caught my eye. The post talks about how most people think of black or white as the go to colors to create a wardrobe around. But TLVBiride says if you want to create a relaxed, laid back bohemian look start with a basic gray tee.

This works well in your own personal wardrobe but how does it translate into the workplace? And if you are in charge of your businesses corporate gear you know how hard it can be to try and find items that represent your business ideas and the “vibe” you want it to generate.

Our take on bohemian looks is District Made. They make some great tees with different cuts, textures, styles, and weights.

These tees would be perfect for setting a warm, relaxed, friendly atmosphere for your clients. All of these styles can be embroidered or screened or left to layer under a jacket or sweater. The different styles work well together and keep your employees in the same color palette without making everyone look too matched.

Real Pocket Books

The top paper back book publisher in Brazil teamed up with a Brazilian fashion house and created a great marketing / branding project. As a huge reader this idea I thought was brilliant.

And just because we may not be able to get our hands on these works of art quite so easily don’t despair. Create your own by putting your favorite quote on your favorite garment: A motivational quote down the leg of your sweatpants, a short poem for the back pocket on your jeans, or a long quote for the back of a tee shirt. Oh the possibilities.

For more information on this project click here. It is worth the read. (But I say that all the time don’t I….)

Authentic Pigment Updates Its Look

AP old logoYou might recognize this logo. In fact some where in your tee shirt collection you probably have an Authentic Pigment tee. Hang on to it…the label could become a collectors item as Authentic Pigment has just undergone a branding update.

The quality hasn’t changed just the look of the label. Authentic Pigment kept their Original Resort Tee’s and Sweatshirts and added a new line of XtraFine 5oz Combed Ringspun Cotton tee’s and tanks as well as new French Terry Sweatshirts and Hoodies. All with an updated, modern fit that cuts closer to the body for a more pulled together look. And you will love the color pallet: indigos, neons, pastels, industrials, and hues taken right from mother nature

We just got some samples here at the shop so next time you are in be sure to ask for a sneak peak. Another great alternative for your summer tee wardrobe.

You can’t go wrong with several in your closet.

Looking for a way to use a white button down for your next event? Try this style tip. Add a small logo or detail that represents the event and place it on the cuff or the back just below the collar. Layer the white shirt over a base layer to create a cohesive look. Take it a step further and make it so the base layer can be whatever suits each person and will let their individuality shine through.Either way the white shirt will bring it all together and make everyone look great.
