Happy 4th of July 2014

Well, we have no clue where June went and as you can see from lack of blog posts we were busy. So thank you to all our customers who made June fly by here at the shop.

We will be closing today at 2:00 pm and reopening on Monday July 7th to catch our breaths and enjoy some time with our families. We hope you enjoy your celebrations and stay tuned for new stuff on the blog later in the month.

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.

What do you think of the idea of a logo that changes every 20 seconds or so…for your hat?
Interesting concept huh?

The question is would you wear it? Even if you don’t like it and wouldn’t be caught dead in it you have to admit technology has come a long way.

The Classic White Shirt

The classic white button down: a closet staple.

Dress them up….

You can’t go wrong with several in your closet.

Looking for a way to use a white button down for your next event? Try this style tip. Add a small logo or detail that represents the event and place it on the cuff or the back just below the collar. Layer the white shirt over a base layer to create a cohesive look. Take it a step further and make it so the base layer can be whatever suits each person and will let their individuality shine through.Either way the white shirt will bring it all together and make everyone look great.

This one we found the most hilarious and eye catching.  The high heeled shoe can be used as an ipad or kindle holder, phone or business card holder. Talk about making a statement! Wouldn’t these make awesome table number/name holders for a wedding or women’s corporate event?
