The January Freeze

It was 2 degrees when I left the house this morning. Here at work it is a balmy 6 degrees.

I thought pictures of cozy warm coats would be just the thing. These are from the NorthEnd line and are just making their way into the 2015 lineup.

I own the North End Sport Blue Ladies’ Avant Tech Mélange Insulated Jacket with Heat Reflect Technology Item 78698 and LOVE it. It looks like a shiny space creatures skin on the inside but that is the heat reflect technology that makes it warm.

We are updating styles and links on our website right now so you can’t click on the pictures to go to product information quite yet. This will be up and running within the next day or two.

Update: Click NORTHEND to see the full product line including the above items.

But if you need more info shoot us an e-mail or use the red Contact Us button and we will get right back to you.

Stay Warm!

We are proud to be apart of the event honoring Vietnam Veterans on November 11th at the Portsmouth High School right here in town.

Here is an excerpt from the American Legion Post 18 press release:

“Veterans who served honorably between 1 July 1958 and 7 May 1975 – whether in-
country or not – will be recognized on Tuesday, 11 November 2014 at Portsmouth High
School with a Proclamation, certificate, bracelet featuring the Vietnam ribbon colors
made by 4-H students and custom-designed ball cap made by National Embroidery of
Portsmouth. National Embroidery owner Dale Wood is a Vietnam veteran having served

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?

#hashtags

Hashtags…love ’em or hate ’em they are a part of our culture now. So get on board with it and have fun creating your own. With a hashtag and cool font you can make your very own shirts for just about any event: Birthday, holiday, wedding, corporate retreat. Need some ideas?

Already way ahead of the game and have your own #hashtag shirts? Share them on our Facebook page. We would love to have a peek.

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.
