We just got some great new gear in from Sport Tek, Eddie Bauer, and Port Authority including the new 1/4 zips for fall. 1/4 zips are great for the team or corporate world to transition into the new season. And all of these styles (JST65 excluded) come in ladies sizing.
We have been selling the Hanes X-Temp for a little over a year now and have had some great response from our customers.
Everyone from landscapers, to contractors, to heating/oil repairmen have said how much they like the weight of these tee’s. They are easy to print on and embroider so we like that!
If you have been thinking about a lighter weight tee for your crew for the summer these may be just the thing.
Ever want to see what some of the gear you may be interested in purchasing looks like on actual people who are actually moving around?
Charles River has stepped up to the plate and put out this video on their newest line for the year. (with real people who are actually moving around…..)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
