My Take on the Site

As someone that wears nice clothing everyday for my professional job I am always looking for clothes that will last a long time and that look good too. Recently I found out about Original Stitch and I was excited to check out the site and what it offers. In looking through the site itself I was impressed to find the breadth and depth that it offered consumers. I explored the site and found that there was a ton of things that could be customized and that no matter what your size you were able to develop clothing that will fit you well and look good too.

I found the site to be very easy to use. It walks you step-by-step through the process that you would need to get the right measurements and get the right fit. I was impressed with the quality that I found on the site as well as the variety as well. The prices were also reasonable based on the fact that you are getting a customized shirt, which you cannot get by just going to the store itself.

All-in-all, this was a great site that offered great quality and customization and I highly recommend that you check out the site for yourself to see what it can offer you too!

Lee Jeans ( @LeeJeans ) Offers More Than Jeans!

April 23, 2014 by dadofdivas 1 Comment

Lee-Jeans
 photo disclaimer_zpsaa1cb05b.jpg

When it comes to my daily routine, I come to find that I need to dress well, and typically in a professional manner. With that being said I am always on the lookout for companies that have great looking close that will fit in well with the professional attire that I need to be wearing a daily basis. Typically I have to go to men’s stores to find the type of clothes that I am usually looking for.

 

At the recent Dad 2.0 Summit, I started to have conversations with Lee Jeans about the different type of products that they offered men. I was under the misinformation that Lee Jeans only provided men a choice of jeans (in a number of different varieties). Boy was I wrong! In having a more extensive conversation and in examining the company website I found that Lee offers not only jeans, but also semi-dress pants and a number of different colors. I love that the factor that you could order right off of the website and get a wide variety of colors and sizes that will match almost any person.

Lee-Jeans

I ended up ordering two different styles of dress pants that came in my size (which is not always an easy thing to find for me). In receiving the pants, I came to find that they were very comfortable and fit perfectly. There is a bit of give in the waistline which is nice as well.

 

Best of all though was how good the pants ended up looking when I put them on. As having impressed with the quality of construction as well as the fact that you can either get pleats or not.

 

As you can see the pictures that I included in this post-, the pants look great and they also fit in well with either formal or casual attire.

 

All in all, as I mentioned in my previous post-about my experience with Lee Jeans, he will be very impressed with what you get from his company. This is not the Lee Company that I knew as a youngster, instead, they have redefined themselves and have definitely won my business for the future and I am sure that they have done the same for others too.

It’s Time for School With Chasing Fireflies ( @chasenfireflies ) #CFSchoolCool

August 22, 2013 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

 photo disclaimer_zpsaa1cb05b.jpg

When it comes time to get ready to go back to school, our kids want to look their best! No matter if that means clothes, shoes or other accessories, they want to be ready (no matter how much they fight us to get ready). I am always at a loss when it comes to knowing exactly what to get the kids it is nice when I can have a site the brings some hot back to school items together all in one place and Chasing Fireflies has done just that with their Back to School Pinterest Page – http://pinterest.com/chasingfireflie/back-to-school-2013/

PJ-Shoes

 

I was asked to select two items from this page to try out with my own kids and I actually got the kids involved in the selection (as I did not want to hear that I chose the wrong items). My youngest daughter will be going to kindergarten this year and she has been growing like a weed over the past six months, so we really needed shoes. What was great about these personalized Converse shoes that you see to the top and bottom her is that they are personalized, and anyone that has young kids know that sometimes kids have similar shoes and having the child’s name on them just helps that much more. I was impressed with how quickly the shoes arrived after ordering, especially with personalization and they were of such high quality!

 

PJ-Shoes1

 

My eldest is always the more difficult one to shop for. For her she helped me select the Watch it Change watches that you see at the top of the post and below. This watch was great and was definitely a hit with Diva-J as first off she is always running late (so a watch was needed), but even better in her book were the different ribbons that the watch comes with that act as the watch band for the watch itself. So far she has really loved changing out the bands depending on what she was wearing and having a blast looking grown up with a grown up watch too. I loved the fact that Diva-J actually now has a watch, so I can tell her to be home by a certain time and she can’t tell me that she didn’t have a watch or was unaware of the time itself.
watch1

All-in-all I was impressed with the Back-to-school items that Chasing Fireflies offers as that are unique and different, which are two traits that both my daughters seem to enjoy! On top of this Chasing Fireflies also has a ton of amazing Halloween Costumes if you are in the market or are starting to plan early! Check out the selections here – http://www.chasing-fireflies.com/costumes/departments/46/

Coolibar Clothing Is A Great Gift for Dad This Father’s Day

I was lucky enough to try out the new Coolibar ZnO Pro Quarter Zip Polo as a part of the clothing that they are promoting for father’s day recently and I wanted to share my experience with this and other clothes from this great company. As you might remember I have written about my experiences with this brand in the past and my experiences have been positive (read more about my experiences below):

  • http://dadofdivas.com/producteview/coolibar-coolibar-uv-clothing-is-a-great-gift-for-the-summer-season
  • http://dadofdivas.com/producteview/coolibar-coolibar-clothing-provides-comfort-and-total-protection

I am always looking for clothes that look great but also protect. Especially after the fire that we had in my home in February and the ensuing hospitalization over Valentines Day, I have found that I have to cover my left arm and the skin that I burned even more than usual.

With this being said it has become even more important for me to find clothes that give me that extra protection no matter what the weather and Coolibar clothing does just that. With the shirt that I tried out it has some of the following great features:

  • Cool, moisture-wicking ZnO pro SUNTECT®: Cotton/Porel/Spandex
  • Quarter zip collar
  • Raglan sleeves
  • Straight drop tail hem with side slit
  • Easy care: machine wash, tumble dry
  • Imported
  • Rated UPF 50+

Coming in four great colors I was able to try out the Rustic Red, which to me looks more rust colored, but I digress. The shirt itself was so comfortable and you could tell that it breathes making it comfortable to wear even on warmer days. On top of this though is the UPF 50+ rating that it has which will protect me from the harmful sun rays, which is exactly what I am looking for!

All-in-all I was very impressed with this and with the rest of the men’s line of clothes that I have come in contact with in the Coolibar line and I would recommend you checking them out for yourself and let me know what you think as well! Check out the entire line of Coolibar men’s clothing when you can!

As A Dad I Want to Look My Best @LandsEnd #dadchat

April 4, 2013 by dadofdivas 1 Comment

landsend1.jpgAs a dad and as a man, I want to look good, not only for myself, but for my family and so that my girls can see that I take pride in how I look and so should they. This has been a bit of a reversal over the years as for many years I had the same clothes that I had been wearing for years, and I kept these clothes as long as I could to make sure that I did not have to spend my money unwisely. Now I see the error of my ways and look for clothes that are of high quality construction and that will last for a long time, but also will maintain the look that I want to maintain for a long time.

Some of this has come about because of the work that I do on a daily basis. Working in a university setting where I have to wear a suit and tie everyday, I know that I am in the spotlight and I also see many of the professionals at higher levels than myself dressing like this too, which is always a good incentive for a person as well.

So you can probably guess that I was pretty excited when I was asked my Lands End to try out one of their new shirts. I have been aware of Lands End for some time, and their name to me has always been one that I attributed to high quality. One of the other things though that Lands End means to me personally is customizability. Why do I say this you may ask. Well… as a shorter gentleman, I find it very difficult to find clothes that fit well. I usually cannot go into stores and find a wide array of shorts in my size and don’t get me started on pants. With that being said, Lands End is great because I can custom order specific sized clothes and know that they will come to me with no strings attached. On top of this Lands End has a great return policy so if clothes do not fit right, you can return them easily!

landsend

On top of this Lands End always has great sales going on so you can find some great deals. I went on today and found over 40 coupons that could be used online available…talk about great deals.

I mentioned that I had been asked to check out Land End’s new Polo line. Lands End came up with the perfect way to allow a man to pick the right polo for themself and on top of this they have a great line of Polo Shirts to choose from available in short-sleeve for under $50 and long-sleeve for under $75 including:

  • Dressiest – Supima Polo – Upscale style made from America’s finest cotton for smooth, soft results that look great.
  • Coolest – Dri-Release Polo – Made for a day on the golf course or any summer day because the special pique wicks moisture away for hours of comfort.
  • The Classic – Mesh Polo – Textured ringspun combed cotton offers years of wear.
  • Most Casual – Super-T Polo – Just as comfortable in fit and fabric but with a stylish collar.
  • Sportiest – Rugby Polo – With game-inspired details like rubber buttons, twill collar and underarm air vent for cooling.

They also just released an infographic that helps you choose which of the above is right for you!

landsend2

I decided to try out the Men’s Regular Long Sleeve Stripe Zip Rugby.

What I loved about this shirt was that not only was it of high quality construction, but on top of this it was warm. I also loved the zip up front that provided a different look depending on whether you had it up or down. As I Said before I want to look good, and I have to say that through shirts like this and so much more on the Lands End site, I am continually reminded about this and encouraged to continue coming back for more from this company in the future as I know that I can expect great things from them now and in the future and you will be able to as well.

My daughter took this picture of me in my new shirt…what do you think?

What’s Your Ista? I Love These Shirts! ( @whatsyourista )

May 10, 2012 by dadofdivas 33 Comments

About the Product

Marlee is a school guidance counselor and a designer, who wants to save the world and make it more beautiful at the same time (peaceista). Amy is a special education teacher, who is a self-described word nerd (wordista or nerdista?) who loves the idea of creating new words with a clever sounding suffix. Between us, we have 5 children to put through college, I mean, who we are raising. Marlee and Amy have been friends since they met in the “transfer student” line at Clemson University in 1986.

Their kids are tennisista, zombieista, spikeista, artista, and pizza-ista (which is just fun to say—try it).

How It All Started

Dig if you will this picture, over a glass or 2 of the house merlot, the two founders lamented the current state of the economy and our husbands’ job prospects. Someone said something like “Forget fashionista, I’m a recessionista.” Next thing you know, they were all throwing out other ista ideas. They got to thinking that it would be fun to create Ista T-shirts.


Part of their mission is to be generous with others. They know that many organizations have been suffering from a lack of donations. They know that passionate people like their customers will have their own pet charities. They want their customers to suggest charities and they will donate a portion of their profits.


My Take on the Shirts

What I love about the shirts is that each one is unique to the person is wearing it. So no matter if you are a bookista (my wife) or artista (my daughter), you can have assured that is perfectly aligned with your personality. My wife and daughter loved it there shirts as you can see in the pictures and I can say that it was fun giving them the gift as well. The website for the company is well laid out and there is so much there for someone to choose from. On top of this if you can’t find something the company states that you can even make your own ista as well. I highly encourage everyone to check out this company and the shirts that they provide and find your own unique ista!

Lands End Polos Giveaway

June 23, 2011 by dadofdivas

I like to dress well! I love finding clothing that fits well and that lasts because as many guys do, I keep clothes for a LONG time, and when I say LONG, I mean LONG. To place this in context, I have sweaters that I wore back in High School. Now I did not say that J-Mom likes that I keep some clothes a long time, but alas, I still do.

I digress… as a short man though, sometimes I find it hard to find clothes that actually fit the way that they should. Many times I have to special order or tailor clothes to make sure that they fit. Luckily there are company like Lands End that swoop in for the rescue and work with their customers to get them fit in the clothes sizes that they need.

I was recently asked to try out their new Polo Shirts. I chose a color that I did not have much of within my clothes drawer and hoped for the best. The shirt arrived shortly after order and I was impressed at first glance about the quality and workmanship on the shirt. One thing that struck me as strange was that the Small Shirt actually was sized at a 32-34. I thought that a mens shirt size would be smaller than this, but alas if was not meant to be.

The shirt I received was of high quality and they had a great variety of colors. I chose a green that was much more florescent green. Though this was an issue, I still ordered one and waited to see if it might be the same color that I saw online. When it arrived, my first impression was,,, WOW , this is definitely green. I ended up putting the shirt on and I was impressed to find how comfortable it was.

You see, I enjoy polos. I cannot wear them at work, but during the evenings and on weekends (when the weather is nice outside). So for me a first or other special custom fitted apparel. So if you or if that other special man are looking for high quality clothes at reasonable costs, Lands End may be exactly whet you are looking for.

Overall, I was impressed with how well these shirts fit, and the return policy that comes with everything . Also, the shirt breathes very well and the 100% cottom does its work without fail. I will definitely say that Lands End will be a company that I will be visiting again and again in the future!

    Timberland Brings Comfort and Style to Work Boots

    June 13, 2011 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

    Building on the success of the ever-popular Timberland PRO® Endurance and TiTAN® collections, Timberland PRO is pleased to announce a new addition to its innovative workboot offerings. The new Timberland PRO® Helix collection consists of rugged 6” boots that provide workers with the best of both worlds – lightweight materials combined with Timberland PRO‘s exclusive Anti-Fatigue Technology to absorb shock and help increase energy, supporting those who work long hours on their feet.

     

    “We have spent extensive time field researching our end users and have infused those learnings into the new Helix collection,” said Jim O’Connor, Senior Director of Product and Marketing for Timberland PRO.  “By combining the lightweight protection found in our TiTAN® boots with the Anti-Fatigue Technology in our Timberland PRO® Endurance work boots, new Helix styles bring a hybrid approach which should allow our consumers  to stay on their feet longer without feeling exhausted.” O’Connor added, “These boots will help negate the need for companies to provide expensive anti-fatigue mats that can pose as dangerous tripping hazards.”

     

    New Timberland PRO® Helix footwear includes the following features to help workers focus on their job and not their feet:

    • Timberland PRO exclusive Anti-Fatigue Technology features molded, inverted cones that support, collapse and return in key pressure zones, providing higher energy return and resulting in all day standing comfort and support
    • Flexible, soft durable leathers
    • Mesh lining with Agion® microbial treatment for odor control
    • Active heel lock secures the heel for optimal fit
    • TiTAN® alloy or composite safety toe provides lightweight protection and roomy fit
    • Some styles feature a waterproof membrane to keep feet dry
    • Slipesistant outsole boasts aggressive lugs that maximize contact for enhanced traction

     

    The Timberland PRO® Helix series will be supported this fall by the “Stay On Your Feet” campaign, (www.stayonyourfeet.com), now in its third year. The campaign will include a TV commercial slated to run October through December during the NHL regular season and on 35 local cable markets including the Discovery Channel, TLC, and ESPN. Timberland PRO will also support these efforts through digital advertising on ESPN, Popular Mechanics, and Contractortalk.com, billboard advertising, and Timberland PRO’s stayonyourfeet.com website, which educates visitors on the Timberland PRO® Helix series, allowing them to search for sector-specific jobs in their areas and participate in a contest to enter to win boots.

     

    All Timberland PRO® Helix styles are available in sizes 7-12, 13, 14, 15 M/W and are equipped with the Timberland PRO® PowerFit™ comfort system for ergonomic fit and maximum support. Timberland PRO offers comfort and customer satisfaction with a 30-Day Comfort Guarantee.  The Timberland PRO® Helix series is available now at www.timberlandpro.com and in Timberland PRO retail locations nationwide with an MSRP of $130 – $165. New styles for fall 2011 include the Timberland PRO® Helix 6” Soft Toe (87529) and 6” Composite Toe (87517), which will both be available August 12, 2011.

    About Timberland PRO®

    Building on the Timberland (NYSE: TBL) heritage of craftsmanship and quality, Timberland PRO® is recognized as an industry leader in the design, engineering and marketing of premium-quality footwear, apparel and accessories for working professionals who require the best comfort and protection on the job.  Timberland PRO embraces the company’s commitment of “doing well and doing good”–forging powerful partnerships among employees, consumers and service partners to transform the communities in which they live and work.  To learn more about Timberland PRO, please visit: www.timberlandpro.com.

    My Take on the Boots
    Style, comfort, and safety all in one boot. These boots were definitely comfortable and looking at them, I said to myself, these are too nice to be work boots, but in fact they truly are designed to keep your foot safe while looking and feeling good! I was able to try out the endurance Pro, and these are made for people who have to be on their feet for long periods. I can tell you, with how comfortable these are I can see why you can stay on your feet for so long. Usually after standing for long periods I start to get lower back pain, but not with this. Instead, the additional support in these boots did the trick and I was in good shape! You or someone that you love will definitely love these boots. Check them out today!

    June 10, 2011 by dadofdivas 65 Comments

    This Father’s Day, it’s time to bring dad from old-school to cool with Jockey® staycool.

     

    It seems even the coolest dads hold on to worn-out undershirts and underwear. This Father’s Day, help him replace his old staples with Jockey’s newest product line, Jockey® staycool, designed to keep dad cool and comfortable while offering classic comfort and style. Jockey® staycool uses exclusive technology originally developed for astronauts’ space suits, to help regulate skin temperature. Bottoms are sold 3/$22.50-$29.50. Tops are sold 2/$27.

    As an added bonus, you can get 20% off your next Jockey.com purchase throughout the month of June! Just enter the code COOLDAD to redeem.

    My Take on the New Product
    Comfort and Coolness puts this new Jockey clothing into perspective. Especially as it gets hot this summer it makes sense tp have clothes that will react to your own body heat and give back. Over the past week alone there have been a few days where I was happy to have these to try out (as we have had unbelievable heat for Michigan). I have to say that I am impressed and that I will be looking to this product in the future.

    The only drawback for me was the fact that they did not start this product in a size small but instead a size medium. It wasn’t too large on me, but I know that a size small would have fit even better, especially in the undershirt. I am not 100% for certain at why they did this, but maybe in the future this could change.

    Lands End Polos, Make You Look and Feel Great

    June 9, 2011 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

    I like to dress well! I love finding clothing that fits well and that lasts because as many guys do, I keep clothes for a LONG time, and when I say LONG, I mean LONG. To place this in context, I have sweaters that I wore back in High School. Now I did not say that J-Mom likes that I keep some clothes a long time, but alas, I still do.

    I digress… as a short man though, sometimes I find it hard to find clothes that actually fit the way that they should. Many times I have to special order or tailor clothes to make sure that they fit. Luckily there are company like Lands End that swoop in for the rescue and work with their customers to get them fit in the clothes sizes that they need.

    I was recently asked to try out their new Polo Shirts. I chose a color that I did not have much of within my clothes drawer and hoped for the best. The shirt arrived shortly after order and I was impressed at first glance about the quality and workmanship on the shirt. One thing that struck me as strange was that the Small Shirt actually was sized at a 32-34. I thought that a mens shirt size would be smaller than this, but alas if was not meant to be.

    The shirt I received was of high quality and they had a great variety of colors. I chose a green that was much more florescent green. Though this was an issue, I still ordered one and waited to see if it might be the same color that I saw online. When it arrived, my first impression was,,, WOW , this is definitely green. I ended up putting the shirt on and I was impressed to find how comfortable it was.

    You see, I enjoy polos. I cannot wear them at work, but during the evenings and on weekends (when the weather is nice outside). So for me a first or other special custom fitted apparel. So if you or if that other special man are looking for high quality clothes at reasonable costs, Lands End may be exactly whet you are looking for.

    Overall, I was impressed with how well these shirts fit, and the return policy that comes with everything . Also, the shirt breathes very well and the 100% cottom does its work without fail. I will definitely say that Lands End will be a company that I will be visiting again and again in the future!

     

    I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Dad Central Consulting on behalf of Lands’ End and received a polo shirt to facilitate my review, one to giveaway, and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.
