The Inspired Dye Collection from Next Level Apparel (asi/73867) includes crews, tanks and pocket tees that are made with a garment dye process that allows for softer shades and finishes, capturing a lived-in look and feel that exudes vintage chic. Colleges, fraternities, sororities, high schools and other fashion-forward end-users love the style. The Pocket Crew (7415) shown here is especially sought-after. The side-seaming and combed ringspun cotton create a super comfortable feel – something also helped by the tear away label. http://www.nextlevelapparel.com/

Trucker hats that feature a mesh back and snap closure are wildly popular with a broad range of end-clients, from craft breweries and contractors, to manufacturers and automotive companies – which, yes, includes the professional demographic that gave the hats their names…truckers. Available from Ivory Headwear (asi/62972), the flat-bill style (2541) shown here is huge with youthful audiences, while the curved bill style (2239) carries cross-generation appeal. “This style,” said Ivory’s Jake Lutton of the curved bill, “is one of the most popular hats in America.” http://www.ivoryheadwear.com/

I live in the sticks. My first job was on a farm, bailing hay and cleaning stables. As such, I’m a sucker for apparel that harkens to the great outdoors. I especially liked this Woodlot Winter Overtime Hockey Hoodie from Gamehide (asi/46701). The 250-gram performance fleece fabric is comfortable, and the hockey-style lacing and tipping puts me in the mind of cold winter days playing pond hockey. Clients whose end-users harbor a similar love for the outdoors will appreciate the hoodie too. They’ll also like the fact that Gamehide has licenses to provide authentic camouflage fabric, which decorators can use to create appliqued imprints. In this way, patterns in logos can match the camo accent patterns on different apparel pieces, creating a unified look.  http://gamehidecorporatewear.com/

Beverage brands, technology companies, clients that target millennials – all could benefit from promoting themselves with this product. http://www.tomaxusa.com/
