Indigo Clothing welcomes Karl (left) and Lhea (right), from the excellent, and highly acclaimed, t-shirt blog Tcritic, who are going to be guest authors on the Indigo blog. Life is pretty busy at Indigo right now and we have less and less time to browse the weird and wonderful tee sites that exist, so that is why we turned to Karl and Lhea help us out.
Tcritic is a t-shirt review site, which has over 3000 reported subscribers to its RSS feed. It is full of bright pictures, great editorial and links and adverts to the best t-shirt sites, wheter they be boutique brands or monster marques. These guys spend hours sifting through the detritus to bring their readers the best of what is out there and now they are going to do the same for Indigo readers. We strongly encourage you to check out what they are up to and we look forward to publishing their work here too.
It is that time of year again - ‘Leavers Hoodies‘ organising time. So you have been tasked with kitting out your year in comfy, hard wearing and good looking hoodies, each with a custom name on the back (you should see some of the names we have printed over the years -”Jazzhands Jen ‘Oops, I Just Wee’d‘ Arthur” was one of the finest and less rude examples!) and you are not sure where to start?
- Why not check out Indigo’s hoodies page on our promotional clothing catalogue.
- To make you life easy and to save you some money, we have scrapped setup charges for Leavers hoodie orders over 50 pcs in size. That’s right - FREE SETUP.
- Give one of the team a call or email and we can help you find a hoodie that fits your budget.
It is that simple!
Much to Jo’s excitement, Indigo have a MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/indigoclothing.
Feel free to add us as a friend and say hello :o)

We have just put together a t-shirt printing guide to help you make the right decision about which t-shirt to choose when thinking about putting together a t-shirt order.
“10/15″ is a new concept from US manufacturer Hanes and, despite the silly name (IMHO), is actually a very good idea. It stands for 10 colours / 15 styles, and was developed based on market research and views from leading distributors. 10 colours / 15 styles answers the increasing need to find the perfect colour match for different male and female casual wear styles. According the the PR blurb:
By matching the 15 most popular styles in the 10 most wanted colours (sunflower yellow, orange, red, brown, khaki, royal blue, navy, sky blue, and of course black and white), 10 colours / 15 styles adds clarity, simplicity and assurance, and presents itself as the fast-and-easy key that unlocks long-awaited possibilities.
The ‘key’ metaphor may be going a bit far but if you need a sweat, a t-shirt and a polo in the same colour or a perfect colour match for him and her, then this concept could be just the answer. We are busy uploading the new 2007 range onto the promotional catalogue and when it is up you’ll be able to see the full “10/15″ Hanes range. In the mean time you can see it on the supplemental catalogue which is driven from our supplier database.
At Christmas, Rachel in Accounts sadly left Indigo as she continues her quest for Great Britain Rowing fame. She will be sorely missed along with her passion for Party Rings! She is ably replaced by Ed, whose love of Sage Line 50 surpasses even Rachel’s! If you have any accounts queries please feel free to contact him at ed@indigoclothing.com or on his direct line 0207 329 7713.
It is time to go home, turn off the lights, pick up all the bottles of wine and ‘Quality Street’ and juggle them on the train whilst dodging all the little kids that have come into work with ‘Daddy’ in the City, an old tradition around here.
Just a quick reminder, we’ll be running a skeleton crew between Xmas and New Year and will be all Indigo-go again on 2nd Jan 2007.
All that remains for me to do is to wish clients, suppliers and everyone a very Happy Christmas.
Our opening/closing times for the Christmas period.
* CLOSE – midday on Friday 22nd December 2006
* RE-OPEN – 9am on Tuesday 2nd January 2007
We will run a skeleton crew on 27th to 29th December.
We hope everyone is enjoying the festive season!
