We already have some of the new items in stock at the shop. Come on by if you are curious.

For the month of October when you purchase the New Englander rain jacket in Rose Gold (shown below) Charles River will donate 10% to Pull for A Cure and Breast Cancer Research. How cool is that!

Red House Dress Shirts for those Cold Conference Centers

Let the fall trade show season begin. Cooler weather (hopefully) and cold conference centers call for transition pieces that are easy to care for, look professional, and keep that cold air conditioning at bay.

The Unofficial Start of Summer

And just like that Summer is underway. For a lot of folks that means shorter work days, casual Friday attire all week, and office picnics. Bring on the pigment dyed tees to lend  that perfect Summer vibe to anything you are up to this season.

Hanes has gotten into the pigment dyed game with their brand new line called Comfort Wash.

Port & Company has a great line of pigment dyed tee shirts and  every year they add to their color options giving you a lot of choices.

Then there is the tried and true original Comfort Colors. A slightly higher price point but the quality can’t be beat.

Between these brands you won’t have any trouble finding just the right color, style, or feel to make your next event into a wonder Summer memory.

Soundwave Audio Bottle

Red, white, and blue fireworks explode in celebration of the 4th of July.

Yes you read that correctly. A water bottle and blue tooth speaker in one.  Being able to carry your tunes and beverage in one hand means you are a pop up party waiting to happen.

Bella + Canvas Kids

Sleeveless blue hoodie with 'ADVOCATE' text and front pocket.

The debate rages on as to whether it is worth it to spend a lot of money on kids clothes or not. That’s why we offer a nice range of tees. Rabbit Skins and Port & Company for a mid price tee and Bella + Canvas for those of you who want to step it up a notch.

While the price points (in all honesty) are not that vastly different it is better to think in terms of the overall look you are going for. If your brand needs bright punchy colors in toddler sizes Rabbit Skins are the way to go. Youth team sports? Port & Company has got all the team colors you would ever need. If your brand is more about a “feel” or “vibe” then Bella + Canvas will fit that niche nicely. Trendy gear at a decent price point. And you can match the kids line with their adult line to give everyone an on point cohesive look.

Sparkles and Velvet

Pennant is helping you shine with these new sparkle and velvet trimmed hoodies. The hoodies are soft lightweight heather jersey with sewn on sparkles and velvet stripes on the raglan sleeves.

The sparkles are offered in white and black while the velvet comes in a variety of standard team colors.

For the price point these hoodies take the “sweatshirt” look up a notch and would work well for fund raising, spirit wear, health/fitness and corporate events with a sporty vintage theme.

Comfort Colors for 2018

Happy 2018 from Comfort Colors. New pigments, new styles, and a new cuffed jogger that seems to be the “it” trend for the new year.

Casual blue jogger pants with elastic cuffs and pockets.

All of these new items can be found on page 22-23 of the new catalog.  At a nice medium weight of 7oz, the new French Terry crew neck sweatshirt with kangaroo pocket, the scuba neck hoodie, and the cuffed jogger pant will take you from cool spring weather right through Indian Summer.

If your brand reflects a vintage or beachy feel try experimenting with a one pass color or tone on tone color when screen printing. Want to incorporate the new jogger pants into the mix? Add your embroidered logo right below the pocket. Or run a word or tag line up one of the legs. Lots of fun options for you to ruminate on while we wait for spring.
