The ACL Airshop has been a pleasure to work with. They ordered logo ties for the Grand Opening of their new factory. We spoke with the CEO of ACL Airshop, Steve Townes, to learn more.

Last year we worked with the fine folk at the Mason Transit Authority in Mason County, WA to create some fun custom Hawaiian shirts for their team.  We loved working with them and appreciate their mission to provide fare-free public transportation in their community.  We've asked them to share more with us and they responded with enthusiasm! Can you tell us a little about Manson Transit Authority?

We enjoy sharing meals here at Candor Threads, and so we thought we'd share some of our favorite recipes for the summer with you!

We’ve been working with the Cal Poly CubeSat (PolySat) team to create custom shirts for a few years now.  They stand out not only because of building miniature satellites, but they always send us cool shirt designs featuring the tiny satellites that they build.

Last fall we received a wonderful video from Dean of our shirts being unboxed by the Arizona River Runners team.  Bruce and Bill are the owners of Arizona River Runners, a Grand Canyon white-water rafting adventure company where Dean works as photographer and marketer.

With the Kentucky Derby coming up in just a few weeks, we've been thinking about roses and mint juleps -- the perfect time for Four Roses Bourbon!  We've been working with them for a few years now and even shared their bow ties and scarves in a previous blog.  This month we're proud to have them as our Customer Spotlight, and so we asked Kelli Wright for more info.

We're proud to feature the Denver and District Pipe Band as our Customer Spotlight this month!  We've worked with many pipe bands, so we know March is their busiest season in honor of St Patrick's Day.  Drew McPheete graciously took time out of his preparations to answer a few questions for us.

This month we're featuring the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Power Electronics Society (IEEE PELS) as our customer spotlight!  Donna Florek has been a pleasure to work with and we loved creating custom ties and scarves for their events.

Looking to try something new this Thanksgiving? We all love to cook here at Shop4ties, so we've put together a list of some of our favorites for you to try. We'd love to know how your versions turn out, so send us a message if you try a recipe.  Bon Appetit! Emmi's Turkey Brine Recipe For a moist turkey I like to brine overnight before roasting. I've used this recipe for several years and the result is moist, flavorful white meat.  

We are excited to feature Year Up Baltimore in this month's Customer Spotlight. Year Up provides a Professional Training Corps that gives low-income college students an intense year-long program of training and mentorship.  The Year Up mission is to "close the Opportunity Divide by providing urban young adults with the skills, experience, and support that will empower them to reach their potential through professional careers and higher education."  We've worked with them for over four years now and so we asked operations specialist Adenike Akintilo for more information!
