When we heard that Todd Caponi would be speaking at an EO Chicago event in January, our sales team couldn't wait to attend! Todd is the founder of Sales Melon, a self-proclaimed nerd, and the author of the award-winning book, The Transparency Sale. We've always strived for transparency in all we do here at Candor Threads so we were excited to learn from Todd and up our transparency game! Read on to see our key takeaways from his workshop.

Jennifer Logan, owner of the Hula Bowl, contacted us in mid August of 2022. She needed custom Hawaiian shirts for players and coaches to wear during their broadcasted Hula Bowl event on CBS Sports! Not only did we produce their fabulous shirts, but we scored tickets to see the players in action! Here are our top 5 takeaways from attending the Hula Bowl in Orlando, Florida on January 14th.

This January we're celebrating sports teams! We work with so many teams and love the way a logo can light up a piece of custom apparel. It's always so fun to see how teams across the country represent themselves through their colors, mascots, and logos. Read on to hear all about the San Diego Ducks Sled Hockey team and their founder, Sarah Bettencourt.

Over the past couple of years, we've noticed an influx of custom Hawaiian shirt companies. We were curious to know what was out there so we implemented a secret mission: order shirt samples from the competition to see if the quality of their shirts was an apples-to-apples comparison. Read on to see what we discovered and why we're the shiny apple you actually want for all of your custom apparel needs! Disclaimer: We're not here to sabotage the competition or talk smack. We just want to share our findings so you're better equipped to make a decision before pulling the custom shirt trigger. And because we're a group of super classy ladies (with a love for Jack Nicholson in Tim Burton's Batman), we will simply refer to these competitors as "Brand X".

During the month of November, we want to celebrate the education industry! Over the years, we've been given so many amazing opportunities to work with teachers, professors, coaches, and administrators. We've had a blast developing fun products for all of them. Thank you, educators, for making everyone so darn smart! We value your commitment to molding all the young minds in our world.

Here at Candor Threads, we're always finding ways to live up to our mission and core values. Philanthropy is one of our favorite methods of checking all the boxes.

Candor Threads loves working with Non-Profit organizations so we were thrilled to hear from the West Suburban Shrine Club in Chicagoland! Read on to see the awesome shirts they ordered to wear for all of their events.

We recently went to the MCAS Miramar Air Show in San Diego to have some fun with squadron members while checking out the show! We wanted to spend some time with the military to better understand their needs and how our shirts can help build morale in their organization. Read on to see the top 5 key takeaways from our adventure!

Working with the non-profit industry always gives us the warm and fuzzies here at Candor Threads. One of our more memorable experiences was a custom shirt project we did with Special Olympics Northern California. Read on to hear about the project and the outcome.
