Nike Golf Therma-FIT Hypervis 1/2-Zip Cover-Up

I got to see The Nike Golf Therma-FIT Hypervis cover up when our sales rep debut it a couple of months ago. I forgot all about it until one of our customers ordered one. I also forgot how nice they are.

The chevron design  is  subdued enough to work with your logo without overwhelming it. The contrasting zipper and interior color adds a pop of color making it easy to layer over your other golf gear.

It is made of 100% polyester Therma-Fit fabric which keeps it, soft, light weight and temperature regulating. (How that exactly works I am not sure but it sounds impressive. Our customer that orders them is going to keep me posted on that!)

And for the ladies it comes in a full zip style with thumb holes at the cuff for extra warmth.

Perfect for golf outings (obviously), corporate events, employee incentives and vendor gifts.

Vintage is where its at for Pennant in this catalog. Check out the Vintage Raglan Jersey and Vintage Henley on page 8/9. On page 10 the Vintage Stripe Jersey caught my eye. These items would be perfect for warm ups, spirit wear, and great for school stores or fund raisers for your favorite team.

How to Make your Tee Shirt SOFT

The bloggers over at Who What Wear just posted this #stylehack.

I personally haven’t tried this to know if it works or not. But I do know that recently customers have been asking us for a softer feeling tee shirt option when they are  placing  an order. They are finding certain brands they have sworn by for years have now become stiff and scratchy. This might be a good solution to that problem. I can’t vouch for what it will do to the printing either, but you might come up with just the look you were going after.

If you do try it out let us know how it worked. Take some before and after photos too. Those trend setters at WhoWhatWear might be on to something.

Tie Dye for Summer

Tie Dye always makes me think of summer. Well that and the 1960’s.

While Tie Die is usually  associated with the 1960’s culture it had a  resurgence back in the early 90’s with lots of neon colors. (I can attest to that. I had many a company outing shirt from that era in blindingly bright colors.) Since then it has stayed just below the radar making a fashion come back every couple of years. Because it is not typical, it can make your application of it all the more memorable. (Notice I still remember those tees from the 90’s. Wish I could still fit in to them too….)

Dyenomite (the brand pictured above) has a variety of Tie Dye gear can be just the thing for:

  • Company Outings and team building (who wouldn’t want to be on team Tie Dye!)
  • Family Reunions
  • Summer Leagues
  • Fund Raising Events

The tie dye process looks best with one color logos that are on the larger size with big details. Anything too small and intricate will get lost in the explosion of color. The paw print and heart shaped features on two of the tees works really well for school initials or event dates.

And of course if you want to try your hand at Tie Dye DIY that is cool too. For small runs we can apply CAD cut Vinyl that will make even the smallest event one to remember.

Caring For Fleece

While flipping through one of our trade magazines Promotional Products Business, I found this side bar on how to care for fleece. Since we get asked a lot how to care for items, I thought these tips might help. My favorite tidbit is the wet rubber glove to remove pet hair. That sounds much easier than using packing tape to try to pull it off!  Happy Washing!

Ogio Tees and Tanks

Time to take your activities outdoors. June is here and that means lots of summer parties, 5K’s, and outdoor fund raisers. Ogio is here to help get your brand out there with style.

Ogio is all about the details: Stay cool wicking fabric that is ultra-breathable, flatlock seams for comfort, and reflective details so you can be seen. The thing I like best (and yes I have the ladies V-neck tee and love it) is that it is made of 100% poly jersey which gives it a nice soft feel. It doesn’t look or feel like your typical polyester pieces.

The price point is not that much higher that Sport Tek and well worth it if your brand demands a piece that looks the part.

We have samples of these in the shop so you can stop by and check them out. Click LOE320 and OE320 for more colors and other styles.
