Don't Need Nothin' But a Good Time

Apparel is the promotional products industry’s top-selling category, and T-shirts are a big reason why. They’re inexpensive, they’re stylish and they’re versatile. Businesses of all sizes buy them (from big liquor brands to local microbreweries, arena-packing rock acts to corner-bar Poison tribute-bands) and everybody wears them (from big liquor brand sales reps to craft brewers, rock stars to guys who willingly imitate Bret Michaels).

Want to make the sale? Not sure what’s available? Here are some ideas to give you a spandex-clad leg up on the competition.

Crews Control
Newton’s first law of motion states that if you eat a whole box of Fig Newtons in one sitting, you’re going to need Augusta Sportswear’s Motion Crew to help work off all those calories. (We’re paraphrasing.) The 100 percent polyester smooth-knit T-shirt is odor resistant and moisture-wicking, so it’s great for physical activity. It also has a heat-sealed label and topstitched shoulder-seams. 16 color combinations are available. For more information, visit www.augustasportswear.com.

Take a Piqué
Ash City USA’s PACE CORE365 Men’s Performance Piqué Crew Neck is moisture-wicking, antimicrobial and UV-protective, making it great for strenuous outdoor activities, like eating ribs at a barbecue. (Don’t underestimate the meat-sweats.) The T-shirt is made from 100 percent polyester piqué and comes in 10 colors. Sizes S to 5XL are available. For more information, visit www.ashcity.com.

Level Up
The Next Level Premium Fitted Short-Sleeve Cotton Crew from Bodek and Rhodes is made from 32-singles, 100 percent combed-cotton jersey for maximum softness. (It’s even softer than our cat, Mr. Fluffsburg, but don’t tell him that. He’s sensitive.) The T-shirt has a 1x1 baby rib-knit set-in collar and a tear-away label, and comes in sizes S to 3XL. The 22 available colors include banana cream, indigo and purple rush. For more information, visit www.bodekandrhodes.com.
