Continuing the surge of new products hitting the Entity virtual 'shelves', last weekend saw over 70 new products added.
I've been through, and there's a few that immediately stand out. Here's my pick-of-the-bunch.
I'll start with the most glaring addition:
Nike Fleece Pullover Hoodie
Until now, our Nike hoodies have only been performance Therma-FIT tech-fabric. We've been asked numerous times for a printable cotton fleece pullover hoodie by Nike, and that's exactly what arrived.
Appreciated, it's a different animal to the cheap poly/cotton pullover hoodies available, and it carries with it the Nike pricing.
It's available in 8 uniform industry-friendly colours (you know them).
The 80% cotton, soft comfort brushed-back fleece material, and all-important Nike logo smartly embroidered on the left chest; is perfect for those looking for something memorable, like a leavers hoodie that kids will appreciate.
For something special, you'll be hard pushed to top Nike.
Keeping on-brand, Nike also has released its epic cotton twill Heritage cap to the Aussie market.
Nike Heritage 86 Cap
What I really like about this is the position of the Nike tick on the left middle panel.
This gives you the full front for embroidery while having the Nike brand affiliation sitting side-by-side with the company.
As discussed in the How to Price Premium Products blog, this one fits nicely into that $35 retail perceived value, grossing a healthy dollar profit per piece.
The Heritage Cap is available here in 14 colours.
Port Authority Flexfit 110 ® Performance Snapback Cap
The exciting features of this new Flexfit cap; firstly, it's not a standard Flexfit; it ditches its famed elasticated band and cotton rich material, for a hybrid Flexfit stretch technology band + 7-position snapback closure, in 100% poly. Similar to its flat peak style, but with the classic curve peak.
The result being it comfortably fits ten different head sizes and moisture-wicking.
The Flexfit 110 Performance Cap is found in the Port Authority brand here.
Port Authority Cozy 1/4-Zip Fleece
Now, admittedly, I'm unsure if my love for this is based off the potential for sales, or the fact I'm currently freezing and this looks like the cosiest jacket I've ever seen.
I mean...look at it!
In all seriousness, this jacket is seriously cool. A head-turner that I can see the right logo embroidering beautifully (no printing allowed for this one).
I can see this being very popular, as it's unique style has the obvious practicalities around warmth. I'm not sure how else to describe it except... cool.
Again you can find this one in the Port Authority range in both men's and ladies styles.
That's my personal pick of the new products over the weekend, without having seen many 'in the flesh' it's tricky to note some of the unique aspects of the more 'basic' styles, but as they begin to float in as samples, I'll give them a test drive and let you know.
You can see all the new styles here. For those that missed it, I also recorded a video for APPA on last month's new product picks here.
