Vintage Inspired Tees for the Whole Family! Southern Brand Tshirts Review & Giveaway
Tuesday, July 14, 2009 Posted by Jolly Mom
It's very rare that I fall in love with a company or brand before I actually own or try out one of the their products. Oddly enough, that's exactly what happened when I was introduced to Southern Brand. You see, I'm a Southern girl and reading Southern Brand's About section conjured up the images of everything that I love about the South. Read for yourself:
About Southern Brand:
Before I tell you how much I love these tshirts, I will let Southern Brand tell you what they were aiming for with their tees:
They certainly have a way with words, don't they?! Southern Brand sent me a tee for Lucas and it totally lives up to the beautiful description given by Josh above. It's made from 100% cotton, extremely soft and has the sweetest vintage details. The grinding on the collar, sleeves, and hem give the tee a very cool weathered look. Best of all, the tee is printed with vegetable inks and non-formaldehyde discharges! Oh, and I can't forget about the packaging! Southern Brand thinks of everything--from the rustic craft paper the shirt came wrapped in to the tags that tell a story about the shirt. Very cool!
Want It: Southern Brand tshirts can be purchased online and are priced at $29.00.
About Southern Brand:
SouthernBrand.com is a down home guide to Southern culture and good livin’ through music, film, food, travel and books. “We wanted to create a place for the Southern that we know” says Chris Romero. “Small town America. Life through amber-tinted glasses. The sweet, smoky taste of some real pit BBQ. The steely sound of a slide guitar. The rumble of an old pick-up truck down a muddy dirt road. Sittin' on the front porch sippin' sweet tea, spittin' watermelon seeds and pickin' a tune.”See what I mean? They stole my heart. So, when they asked if I would review a t-shirt from their newly launched line of vintage inspired tees---ummmm---I said YES! Southern Brand sells shirts for everyone in the family--men, women, and even the lil' ones. As much as I wanted to own one of these tees for myself, I could not pass up the opportunity to outfit my little man with the "I'm the only heck my mama ever raised" tshirt! Seriously. Cute.
Before I tell you how much I love these tshirts, I will let Southern Brand tell you what they were aiming for with their tees:
“We figured there weren't enough people out there makin' the kinda shirts we were always lookin' for. The kinda tees that feel like they been washed a thousand times with love by your mama, then hung to dry on the clothesline out back, just swayin' in the fresh summer breeze. T-shirts that are simple, bold, and uniquely Southern. Not all that crazy, over the top printing on every inch including the armpit of the too-tight fashion tee. And not all that rebel flag, south's-gonna-do-it-again-southern that somehow seems to be all ya get when you google ‘southern t-shirts’” says Josh Oberhausen.
They certainly have a way with words, don't they?! Southern Brand sent me a tee for Lucas and it totally lives up to the beautiful description given by Josh above. It's made from 100% cotton, extremely soft and has the sweetest vintage details. The grinding on the collar, sleeves, and hem give the tee a very cool weathered look.
