All Things Outerwear: Hello Fall

Fall is in the air and that means things are starting to cool down, and THAT means it’s probably time to start adding a layer as you head out the door. But, as you know, Fall approaches with some trickery. Cool mornings and coffee often lead to a semi heat wave by lunch. Knowing that, Threds is here to share our Fall favorites that provide an extra layer that’s the perfect in-between for weather that’s still, well, in between.

Service Tips, Top Picks, and a Trip Down Memory Lane.

August is our birthday month here at Threds and we are celebrating 25 years of service by sharing a timeline of how far we have come since 1994.

Rooted in humble beginnings, Threds officially launched in August of 1994 as a retail clothing store selling restored vintage jeans. Screen printing followed shortly two years later in 1996. To highlight our screen printing origins, we've provided a few tips on how to brand on a budget utilizing our services.

When planning a custom T-shirt order on a small budget, consider the following:

1. Select a simple 1-2 color design that will reduce the cost of your overall spend while still being able to maximize your logo or message. 

2. Utilize a one-print location verse multiple print areas on the garment. You can maximize brand visibility with a single front or left chest print option, like the examples below.

3. Comfort over brand name. Consider using a cheaper brand of shirt that can provide the same level of comfort. You’ll save on costs, but not at the expense of quality.
