2016 E-CATALOGS UPDATED

The snow day yesterday allowed us (and by us I mean me…) to get the E-Catalogs updated. I even added a couple of new ones. Not sure how I missed these last year but check out the 2016 Pennant and Game catalogs. Great for teams, clubs, and spirit wear.

Our featured catalog today is from Blue Generation. These guys offer a nice range of items  for the restaurant, hospitality, and service industries. But there are plenty of garments perfect for the corporate world including cardigans for the ladies and oxfords for the men. The size range on most styles is from XXS thru 5XL.  They even have Youth sizes on select items. And their color options are bold which makes it easy to find a color to match most any logo or branding requirement.

 

 

 

 

Alpha Broder Fall Preview 2015

California Wave Wash Sweatshirts & Sweatpants collection image.

Our sales rep Katherine stopped in to deliver the new Fall 2015 line up from Alpha Broder…you will be familiar with the names, Devon & Jones, Harriton, North End, and Marmot. All items in the new catalog are available now and we will be getting samples in shortly for you to get all touchy feely with.

I am intrigued by the full and half-zip Bristol Sweater Fleece by Devon & Jones. A great early fall piece on it’s own and then great for layering as the winter sets in. Pretty sure I am going to get one so I will let you know how I like it.

For you guys that like your henley shirts with a pocket (this means my husband…..) check out Harriton short sleeve henley Item M400 on page 45 of the catalog.

Someone is finally getting the idea that sometimes some of us girls don’t want to dress just like the boys at the office or at trade shows. Devon and Jones has brought out a new line of fashion knits perfect for the giving the girls a more feminine look while still maintaining a  cohesive company look overall.

Check out the whole line up of new items by clicking any of the images above or by clicking What’s New Fall 2015.

The “Fit” Explained

It is always tricky trying to figure out what size clothing to buy. Even more so when you have to buy for your whole company or an event.

Here is a video that will help explain.

Yes the video is a little cheesy but we hope it helped anyway.

A White Blazer and A Denim Shirt


While scrolling through my Instagram feed  I ran across this.

Casual chic with a white blazer over a denim shirt and jeans.

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?

Real Pocket Books

The top paper back book publisher in Brazil teamed up with a Brazilian fashion house and created a great marketing / branding project. As a huge reader this idea I thought was brilliant.

And just because we may not be able to get our hands on these works of art quite so easily don’t despair. Create your own by putting your favorite quote on your favorite garment: A motivational quote down the leg of your sweatpants, a short poem for the back pocket on your jeans, or a long quote for the back of a tee shirt. Oh the possibilities.

For more information on this project click here. It is worth the read. (But I say that all the time don’t I….)
