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.

A printer producing sheets with repeated black and white face designs.Wall covered with multiple US Navy SEALs insignia patches.

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

Wooden coasters with a unique circular design and cut-out edges.

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.

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.

Authentic Pigment Updates Its Look


Logo featuring a boar's head with text around it.You 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.

It Is All About Details


Golf shirts are not just about golfing any more. We are seeing a lot of different types of businesses using these comfortable, lightweight, moisture wicking shirts for their uniforms. From country club ground crews, to restaurant waitstaff, to on the road salesmen these shirts are a great option for the warm weather.

We just received several new samples from Adidas, Nike, and Charles River with some brand new colors and details.

Take a peak at these from Adidas.

All of these shirts offer great details such as contrasting stitching, color blocking, and subtle but elegant fabric pattern.

Sometimes it is hard to see all these details on line or in the catalogs so feel free to stop by the shop and have a look. We think you will be surprised by some new options on the old classics.
