When the weather heats up and my kids are out of school, I want to be casual and comfortable so a few good t-shirts are a mainstay of my summer wardrobe. With two young children at home, I want to make sure I'm donning clothes that can weather outdoor adventures and childhood messes with a sense of geek chic. Being a dad doesn't mean you have to lose all your sense of style. So I always have my eyes out for a good comfy & stylish t-shirts that I can sport during the summer months while doing outdoor chores, playing with my kids or working out.
Fifth Sun, a leading supplier of graphic apparel for the retail industry for the retail clothing industry, generously provided my son and I some samples of the t-shirts that can be purchased from their web site
www.fifthsun.com. They design and produces unique t-shirts for well-recognized
brands including Angry Birds, Star Wars, and Nintendo. Of course they caught my attention when I found out about the large selection of Star Wars gear they have available. You can find
Fifth Sun apparel in over 3,500 independent stores, retail clothing
chains such as Hot Topic, Urban Outfitters, and Old Navy, in addition to
most major national chains such as Target, JCPenney, Kohl’s, and
Walmart. Understanding that many consumers appreciate the convenience of shopping online,
Fifth Sun is selling some its most popular retail designs in addition to exclusive t-shirts unique to its website through
www.fifthsun.com.
You have to admit it is a thrill to get a fun package in the mail. The t-shirts we ordered from
fifthsun.com were delivered very quickly and nicely packaged. My son picked out shirts featuring
Batman, the
Justice League, and his favorite video game character
Sonic the Hedgehog. I'm always nervous about ordering clothes online because you don't want to get them and they don't fit, but all his t-shirts were a good fit...and they didn't shrink in the wash!
Growing up in the Motor City of course I have an appreciation for classic cars and auto racing, so it was impressive to see the automotive related apparel that Fifth Sun has to offer. I picked out one of their
Shelby Cobra t-shirts to race around in while chasing after my kids. They also have a large selection of designs featuring my father-in-law's favorite television show,
Gas Monkey Garage. For those of you who haven't seen the show, which I actually watch a lot myself too, they take neglected classic cars and fix them up into super charged hot rods. If you have an appreciation for hot rods, than you'll also want to check out Fifth Sun's selection of officially licensed
NHRA drag racing gear. Plus they have some cool
Chevy stuff too!
Of course, I also picked out for myself a few t-shirts from their extensive
Star Wars collection. I like having a retro flair to my t-shirts so these
Boba Fett and
Star Wars Fan Club selections were perfect for me. Like my son's shirts the ones I received were a comfortable fit and didn't shrink in the wash.
I can vouch from from all the boo boos that I've cleaned up over the years that yes like this t-shirt says my son does do his own stunts. What kid doesn't attempt a wide variety of stunts while playing super heroes with their friends on the playground? So this obviously was his favorite t-shirt from
www.fifthsun.com. What's yours?
