Can Aprons be Cool?

Why yes they can. And the folks at Uncommon Threads can show you just how cool they can be. A lot of our vendors offer aprons and chef coats as a convenience. And to be honest they are perfectly fine but a little boring. Uncommon Threads elevates the aprons and chef coats to a whole new level…because why be boring?

And don’t think these items are just for restaurants, cafes, or food trucks.  The aprons can be perfect for:

  • Art studios hosting paint nights
  • Volunteers working in kitchens or making charitable food deliveries
  • Teachers, parents, and students for school events
  • Corporate team building
  • Event employees who need to handle tickets, money, or other small items

One District…Finally….

I did a happy dance when I found out the District brand is now just one name. The styles and the fits are the same they only difference is the inside label. This will make my job of recommending styles much much easier. No more is this the junior fit or the ladies fit or the tight fit or the loose fit. Just one name, one great product.

Diverse models showcase District Made and District Active clothing in a vibrant fashion spread. Diverse models showcase District Made and District Active clothing in a vibrant fashion spread.

New items from District are coming soon and in the 2019 catalogs we have on order they will have everything grouped together for your browsing convenience. In the meantime click the District link to see what styles might make you do the happy dance for your next event.

Click on any of the photos above to be taken to our new apparel website. We hope you find the updates to the site helpful. The new site has more information about the products, the fit, and gives you multiple views of the item you are looking at. We like the new look and hope you do too.

Limited Edition Nike Tees

Two young people posing casually in plain white and green t-shirts.

Back in April Nike introduced limited edition polos and pullovers. They are back at it for July (or until supplies run out) of limited edition long and short sleeve performance tees for men and women.

These will not be restocked once they have sold out. At least at this point. We are hoping that if the items go over well we can get them for you on a regular basis. In the mean time, if you are looking for Nike performance gear for your team/event/sponsorship now is the time. Classic colors, full range of sizes from adult Small thru 3XL. Sorry no youth sizes…

Because these are a limited supply you won’t find these in our apparel website but don’t panic. Just give us a call or send and e-mail and we will get back to you with prices for your project.

Not Your Average Sweatshirts

I have more hoodies in my closet than I sometimes wonder is normal. Working here I get to see all the new gear coming out and that doesn’t help my addiction. The new trend for this year is short sleeve and sleeveless hoodies.
