It was our pleasure to attend Brand New Conference last year in our home town. As usual, an outrageous level of attention to detail by Armin and Bryony, and the venue was spectacular.
I’ll let you in on a little secret. All of the good recipes are in books. That’s a tad inconvenient when you need to find the best way to make pita at home or forgot to make a list of ingredients before heading to the store.
So, here’s a tiny, heartfelt recommendation for a useful website you’ve probably never heard of: Eat Your Books. Sign up for an account and enter your cookbooks to get an instant digital catalog of every recipe you own — with photos!
Don’t miss the iPhone app. It’s called CookShelf. Don’t ask me why.
These designs are pre-order only and guaranteed to be printed at the highest possible quality exclusively on our finest tees, sweatshirts, and hoodies.
If this isn’t the shirt for you, don’t worry. Every Thursday we’ll be releasing a new Cotton Bureau Shirt Club design, available for one week only. Sale ends Thursday, Feb. 5 at 8 PM ET.
Find your favorite style below and join the club. You’ll be glad you did.
Today’s the last day of the year to order on demand tees shipping in time for holidays (use code LASTCHANCE25 for free shipping), but that doesn’t mean it’s too late for us to squeeze one more gift under the Christmas tree. We’ve been hard at work refreshing the old catalog starting with the fan-favorite premium heavyweight 100% cotton tee: Comfort Colors 1717.
Putting the Colors in Comfort Colors, we’ve got 13 more including (right to left) Navy, Lagoon Blue, Island Reef, Neon Lemon, Neon Pink, Red, Brick, Espresso. Not pictured, we’ve also added Chili, Seafoam, Sapphire, Chalky Mint, and Butter. Use ‘em, buy ‘em, enjoy ‘em.
In even bigger news (because sweatshirts run large, you see), we’ve stepped up our game in the premium heavyweight hoodie department. Joining the lineup officially earlier this month, it’s Comfort Colors 1567 in 8 entrancing colors: Chalky Mint, Royal, Indigo, Navy, Maroon, Charcoal, Grey, White.
At 9.5oz / yard, it’s the kind of hoodie you can wear outside in the winter and not even feel a chill in the air.
Keeping it heavy, we just added our second long-sleeve tee option. Matching the premium midweight 3501 from Bella + Canvas, we now have the 3511. Available in seven solid colors (Black, Navy, Forest, Red, Grey, Natural, and White), the 3511 is the perfect companion to keep you warm while you work — or lounge — all winter long.
Like Comfort Colors 1567 and 1717, we’ve done our best to automatically update all on demand products on the site to use the latest and greatest shirts. If you see a design you like, chances are these new styles will be an option at checkout.
NB: We were able to secure access to the classic 3501 in Red, Dark Grey Heather, Heather Forest as well.
Moving on from the heavies, say hello to the longs. While not present in a wide array of colors, we are pleased to add a premium long-body tee from Next Level, the 3602. Do you really even need shirts that aren’t black or white anyway? (If you do, we also have royal, heavy metal, and heather grey.)
For the sake of space and time, we’ll lump this last color update together. We’ve got nine new ones in our ladies’ true to size tee, the Bella + Canvas 6400. Please enjoy Red, Berry, Maroon, Purple, Royal, Carolina Blue, Leaf, Natural, and Vintage White. In other women’s tee news, the 100% cotton junior fit Next Level 3600 now comes in Vibrant Yellow, Indigo, Kelly Green, Light Olive, Light Blue, Tahiti Blue, and Natural and we snuck in the Next Level 6710 (tri-blend) in Purple Rush.
Okay, lightning round. We’ve got several new colors in premium men’s tees including Next Level 3600 Dark Chocolate, Light Grey, Cream, and Military Green; Next Level 6010 Tahiti Blue; and and Next Level 6210 in Black, Charcoal, Dark Heather Grey, Midnight Navy, and White.
The basic men’s tees haven’t been entirely neglected. Gildan 5000 joins the party with Azalea, Cardinal Red, Carolina Blue, Coral Silk, Dark Heather, Graphite Heather, Heliconia, Ice Grey, Kiwi, Light Pink, Maroon, Natural, Purple, Sand, Sapphire, Turf Green, Violet, and Yellow Haze.
Tank tops have sadly been in flux this year with Bella + Canvas discontinuing several of our favorite colors (RIP Charcoal Black, Aqua, and True Royal tri-blends). To shore up the line, we were able to bring in Black, Dark Grey, Red, True Royal, and White solid cottons plus Athletic Heather.
Finally for the smallest Cotton Bureau friends, we have four new infant bodysuit colors, Butter, Charcoal, Apple, and Kelly.
That’s it. We’ll see you in the new year. Have a jolly holiday. Get outside, take a lap. Inhale, exhale. It’ll be January before you know it.
We’ve given away big prizes in the past. Those were nice, but you never knew if you would win. This year, we want to *guarantee* you walk away happy. We’ve never tried anything like this before. To be honest, it’s a big risk for us, but we wanted to do something special.
For a very limited time (specifically, the five days from Dec. 4–8), we’re giving everyone on Cotton Bureau a Christmas bonus. For each on demand t-shirt, sweatshirt, hat, tote, phone case, mug, tumbler, etc. (not stickers!) that you sell during the Holiday High Five promotion, we’re kicking an extra Lincoln your way — that’s the $5 bill, not the discontinued penny.
Whether you promote your current catalog or create something new (you still have time to add embroidery on demand, but be quick because Friday is the last day for customers to order), they all count.
The ONE thing you need to do is let us know you want to participate in this promotion. Just click through this link to join, and if you’ve never sold anything on Cotton Bureau before, what are you waiting for? It’s the perfect time to sign up.
That’s it for today. We’ve got one more, uh, colorful announcement planned for next week, but let’s keep our eyes on the prize. You know, the extra $5 you make for every sale between now and the end of the day Monday.
