Cotton At 140 Year High

Although not the inflation adjusted high, the Wall Street Journal is reporting raw cotton is at a 140 year high in nominal price since records began in 1870. I expect this will affect the price of imprintable t-shirts and other promotional appartel, although with demand low due to the recessionary environment, the manufacturers will try to absorb as much of the increase as they can.

Presently, a basic tee at bargain retailer Old Navy is running $8 online and there are on sale tess on their website for $3.99.

American Promotions is a great source for imprintable t-shirts, and we watch the trends and understand how to make your company look good on a t-shirt.

Try a nice lived-in style like the District Threads Pigment Dyed t-shirt, and give us a call for ideas for creating a nice tee for your company or organization.

Painting the House

The last month or so, we have used a lot of our extra time to work on painting the house as a family. It is a slow and fairly ineffective way to paint a house, especially with the ongoing life demands of a family of eight. However, I have enjoyed doing it, and we are making good progress. Here a paintbrush stress ball to mark the occasion.
