Polyester: A Much Improved Blast from the Past
Ever wish you knew more about the fabrics used to make our products? Thought you did, so I’ve dedicated this blog post to schooling you on polyester – a “go-to” fabric in many of our athletic and t-shirt styles. It’s come a long way since the very “colorful” clothes of the 70s (that was the nicest way I could say it). And with the [...]
National Hat Day
Did you know that tomorrow, January 15th is National Hat Day?! In celebration of this much loved and sometimes overlooked American staple, I thought it would be nice to give hats their time to shine…err shade…well, you get it. These are just a few of my favorites…
Athletic Styles for a FIT New Year
So now that we’ve all stuffed our faces and bellies full of the wonderful foods that the holidays bring, I want to be among the first to remind you that 2011 is here. And if you’re anything like me or about a bajillion other people out there, then one of your new year’s resolutions is to take responsibility for endless holiday eating and [...]
Holiday Party Gifts and Ideas
Who doesn’t love a good holiday gathering!? I know I do and it doesn’t take long for every weekend between Thanksgiving and Christmas to fill up with festivities galore.

Your Holiday Gift Guide
Everyone’s looking for that perfect gift for the holidays – to give and to receive. You know, the one that won’t get thrown in the back of the dresser or closet; the one that won’t be put away and only brought out on “special occasions” (i.e. when the gift giver is around); the one followed by the heart-breaking, slow-motion response of [...]
The Softest of The Soft
When you think of the word “soft,” what comes to mind? Freshly dried towels, a fluffy puppy, extra-quilted toilet paper. Did you answer t-shirt? Well if you didn’t, I can give you a few reasons to add this category to your list: The American Apparel Tri-Blend T, the Anvil Sustainable T, and the now discontinued Canvas Distressed Vintage [...]
Baby, It’s Cold Outside!
When most people think of winter approaching, it’s all snowmen, rosy cheeks, and hot chocolate. But for me, it’s a little different. I think of endless shoveling, 4 wheel drive, and walking my dog in 2 feet of snow. I was “lucky” to be one of many who experienced “Snowmageddon 2010,” a series of snow storms that hit the East Coast this [...]
Bring On The Brights With Neon Shirts
You know the saying, “What goes around, comes around?” So very true when it comes to neon! These brightly colored hues have come buzzing back from the 80’s and are here to stay. This modern twist on neon may be much less offensive than the Hammer pants, hyper colored T’s, and Jams that were hot back in the day…but is still equally as [...]
