Tommy John – Great Socks, Underwear & Undershirts For Any Occasion

April 24, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

If you have ever had an issue with having undershirts staying tucked in, socks staying up or even underwear bunching up then you are not wearing Tommy John Clothes. I had the opportunity to try out some new Tommy John clothes and these are some great items that arrived just today!

You see I wear dress socks everyday and who doesn’t wear underwear, but for me I want to have high quality clothes that will last for a very long time and I can tell with Tommy John clothes will do just that. After I made the above video I tried on the socks and they truly do stay up so much better than other socks that I have. Too often I find that the socks that I have tend to wear out and get stretched out. This makes it hard to keep the socks up and I end up having to pull up my socks multiple times a day and many times I have to simply buy new ones. These Tommy John socks have great gripping power which hold onto your calf and stay put.

I also tried on the boxers and I will tell you that they are very comfortable. The size is true to form and with the comfort of the garment itself you are left with great support but also great comfort too.

I had never tried Tommy John clothing in the past, but I now see why others have been wearing their clothes for a long time. This is a great company with great quality clothing. I highly recommend this brand to all and will be coming back for more in the future!

If you have never heard the story of how Tommy John came to be I have included it below because, in my opinion, it is a very fascinating story!

The Tommy John Story

Tom Patterson faced this reality every day. As a medical device salesman confined to a suit as he traveled from meeting to meeting, he couldn’t get through the day without his undershirts, underwear and socks bunching, pinching and sagging.

“Fixing things” doesn’t mean tugging at your crotch or pulling up your socks again. It means finding a solution to this age-old problem, once and for all. It means understanding how men move, combining innovative fabric technologies and tweaking the fit down to the placement of the last stitch. Tom made this task his mission.

That’s why he quit his job and started Tommy John. With the support of his wife, Erin, a local tailor and a small team of designers, Tom re-imagined the fit, feel and function of man’s most fundamental layers. He built and patented new features from scratch. The result? Shirts that stay tucked, socks that stay up and underwear that keeps everything in place, whichever way a man moves.

Russell Athletics has Clothes For Everyone!

August 20, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

As we get ready for a new school year we definitely are looking for great clothes that are comfortable and can be used either on the go in a professional setting or as we work out or get ready for the soccer season.

Russell Athletic has a wide array of amazing clothes that breathe with your skin. I have used Russell Athletic clothes in the past when running, and working out, but I did not know that they also had a larger amount of clothes than I thought at first. I loved the polo shirt that I received to try out. The shirt was very light weight and I found that no matter the temperature outside that it allowed me to feel cool and comfortable.

Russell Athletic also has some great clothes to prepare you for the athletic seasons that are coming soon. My daughter plays soccer and she was so excited about the warm-up jacket that she received to try out. She said she loved how comfortable that it was and that they had her school colors, so even though it was not something that we bought locally, they seemed to know the colors that were her school colors and she thus could wear this to games, practices and more.

If you have not heard of Russell Athletic, you should definitely look at all of the options that they have available.

Getting My Daughter To Clean Up Her Room With The Dirty Dunk

June 25, 2016 by dadofdivas 2 Comments

Getting My Daughter To Clean Up Her Room With The Dirty Dunk

Do you have child that does not like to pick up their laundry? Is their room starting to look like a war zone? The Dirty Dunk will help your kids want to clean up! This was the issue that we were dealing with in our home with our oldest daughter. We would badger her and badger her to no avail and in the end if we wanted clothes picked up we would have to do I ourselves. Recently I learned about a great new product, the Dirty Dunk. The concept is that they have put together a basketball hoop that can go on the back of a door, but attached to the hoop is a laundry basket.

My daughter is a Basketball player so this concept was completely up her alley. When we got the Dirty Dunk to review, it was set up and all I had to do was place it over the back of her door. While it was a bit tight in the door jam, the door still closed as well. My daughters’ first reaction was one of awe. I think her first words were “awesome.” This is better than her being upset because she sees through our attempts to keep her room clean.

We have had this now for a few weeks and I can say that it is making a difference. We are seeing that she is having fun shooting her laundry into her basket. While we have warned her about actually dunking on the hoop, she has been good about it and the Dirty Dunk is really helping us get her room back under control!

Learn more about the Dirty Dunk on the following channels

You can also purchase this on if it sounds like the right product for you!

Lee X-treme Comfort khakis are so comfortable!

April 8, 2016 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

I have tried a lot of Lee Jeans in the past, but recently I was asked to try out the brand new Xtreme Comfort line! Now, let me start by saying that first and foremost I was really impressed with the overall breadth and depth of the collection. There were a ton of colors in the line and no matter when you will be wearing them you will be able to find a pair of these that will work with the occasion!

When I received these X-treme Comfort pants, I tried them on right away and I was completely impressed. These X-treme Comfort pants have to be some of the most comfortable pants I have ever worn. Not only are them comfortable, they also come with a waistband that is flexible so no matter what happens with your waistband, you can still keep these working for you too.

The other thing that was great about the X-treme Comfort pants was that they were dressy enough that I could wear them to work (I work in a professional environment), but they also can work for casual occasions too. I can honestly say that I would have no problems wearing the X-treme Comfort pants to any occasion!

I am so impressed with the X-treme Comfort line from Lee Jeans and know that you will be too. If you are looking for some great pants that will last and are more comfortable than almost any pants I have ever worn, this is the line to select from!

Nanotex Offers Style & Affordable Gifts This Fathers Day!

June 19, 2015 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

As Dads we can be tough to buy for and only so many power tools will fit in the garage and there is only so much money that one person can purchase too (I tend to have expensive items on my want list!).

If you are still looking for a few last minute ideas I may have a couple that will not break the bank and will offer some great looking clothing at an affordable price!

Here are a few ideas for gifts to give dads:

Keep him cool and dry when he is outside playing with the kids – Short Sleeve Shirt from Bass Pro Shops
Stain resistant pants/shorts perfect for any activity near water- Hybrid Angler Pants
Make dressing up wrinkle-free with shirts from JC Penney’s, Kohl’s and Macy’s

Best of all though is that these clothes are made with Nanotex ®, which uses nanotechnology to transform the molecular structure of fibers, creates fabrics with remarkable performance and comfort, is dominating the apparel fabric market with its stain, soil and odor resistance, while preserving the natural breathability, comfort, hand and durability of apparel textiles.

I tried out one of the Nanotex ® wrinkle free shirts from JCPenney and was very impressed by the style, but also with how well it fit and the overall durability of the material. I am not one that likes to iron and definitely do not like doing a ton of wash, so making clothes last matters to me, and this definitely does!

So if you are looking for a great fathers day gift that will not break the bank and will last for a long time to come, consider Nanotex ®. Check out the Nanotex ® Father’s Day Pinterest Page for some other great ideas – https://www.pinterest.com/nanotex/happy-fathers-day/

JCPenney Lets My Kids Dress Me This Fathers Day #Ad

June 16, 2015 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Looking good is something that I love to do, but sometimes this is not always easy, whether it be in regards to money, time or the like. That being said, JCPenney recently asked me to have some fun with my kids and allow them to be able to make me look good through their #JCPStyleByMyKid Fathers Day program.

Now, letting them do this, opened up pandora’s box. You see, both my girls are very different in their styles and approaches. I have one daughter that is all about fitness and sports and thus she was thinking of making me be decked out in designer Nike apparel or something else like this, while my youngest is more about professional or semi-professional dress because she knows that I wear this more often.

So to be honest I had no clue what the girls would pick out for me, but I decided to keep my mouth shut and simply let them have fun. What was great was that not only did I have the giftcard that was sent to me, but JCPenney also had some great coupons and percent off coupons that could be used too to save even more money.

It had been a while since I had been to JCPenney and I came to find that they had a very large variety of items that ranged from fitness to dress clothes, accessories, shoes and more.

The girls had me try on shorts, pants, shorts, hats, a little bit of everything. The process was a ton of fun and the girls thought it was exciting to be able to have me in clothes that they picked out themselves. I think they just wish they had more money, but to be honest, even with the money that we did have ($50), with the coupons that we used, I ended up being able to get about 7 total items which was simply an amazing value altogether!

This was a very exciting program and one that, even if you do not have a giftcard, that I encourage you to try out with your own kids. You might be interested to see their impression of style of you through their selections as I was!

Giveaway

To help with this JCPenney is giving one of my readers a $50 Giftcard to JCPenney for yourself or for your family! All you need to do is fill out the below form to be entered. The contest will run for one week and will end on June 23, 2015.

Winner must be a resident of the U.S.

Teflon Brand Apparel Keeps You Clean & Warm #Giveaway #dadchat

January 2, 2015 by dadofdivas 1 Comment

As it is winter and around me that means it is dang cold, that means I am looking for clothes that will keep me warm, especially as I am working outside. That being said I was surprised to learn about Teflon Brand Apparel as I had no clue that they even had clothes! With that in mind I was excited to try out one of their winter coats as working outside can definitely be dirty and in looking at the coats that you see that I chose I could tell that it would be warm with the multiple layers that it offered (and I loved the hoodie component of the coat too).

I received the jacket recently (in time for Christmas) and for me the jacket was a perfect fit. I loved how warm it was and I actually decided to pitch an older coat that I had for years (and it was showing some wear and tear along with stains) because of getting this new jacket. The jacket came at the perfect time as I was just getting ready to have to do some major work in our garage and seeing that this is not a area that is heated, I needed to stay warm, and the jacket definitely delivered. With the multiple linings in the coat and the hood, you stay very warm and you do not have to worry about the outside temperature as much. I also loved the fact that it had the Teflon covering which means that all of the stains that happened on the jacket I was replacing would be lessened (hopefully), though only time will tell.

All of this being said, I have to say that in using this jacket now over the past week or so I have been very impressed and I know that this will be a jacket that will be seeing a lot of use over the months and years to come!

If you have never seen any of the men’s line of Teflon Brand Apparel yourself, you should check out a few of the options below. As mentioned, I tried out the Duck Jacket, but that was just me!

Giveaway

How would you like to win a $100 Giftcard to Amazon to try out Teflon brand apparel for yourself or for your family? All you need to do is fill out the below form to be entered. The contest will run for one week and will end on January 16, 2015.

Winner must be a resident of the U.S or Canada.

Cozy Cub Winter Clothes Make A Cold Winter, Warm #dadchat

November 30, 2014 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Living in Michigan you know that winter is something that is inevitable and something that you have to prepare for. This fall we have been having unseasonably cold temperatures and my wife and I have had to kick it into high gear as we have had to prepare for winter so far ahead of schedule. That being said I was excited to be able to learn about a new line of children’s winter clothes from One Step Ahead, called their Cozy Cub line of clothes. What I love about these is that they are interchangeable and allow you to get winter apparel that actually relate to one another, thus you can find gloves, coat, fleece liners, snow pants, boots and more that all connect together in regards to colors. Too often you are having to search from store to store to find items that match. With the Cozy Cub line you do not have to worry about that at all.

When I received the items (all but the boots) my daughter was SO excited! She wanted to jump right into them even though it was not very cold on the day in question. We assembled the coat easily, putting the fleece liner in for added warmth and getting everything else taken care of. I was impressed with how easy it was to get the liner into the coat as we have had others that have given us nothing but problems, but not this. We also found that the sizing charts on the website were very accurate. The gloves fit as they were supposed to, and so did everything else, which has not always been something that we have found with every site that we have tried out in the past. The coat was good on warmer days too, just take the fleece out and you get a much lighter weight coat that I know Diva PJ enjoyed wearing!

The clothes were well made and very warm. When we did get our first substantial snow the girls had to go outside to have fun, and when Diva-PJ came back inside, even though she had been rolling around in the snow, she was still dry and warm, which is exactly what we want to find when it comes to winter clothes.

All-in-all I was impressed with the quality and price of this line of clothes and if you too are in need of some warm winter clothes for your young ones, I highly encourage you to look at these!
