Chubbies: Men’s Shorts That Are Short Are Back
:: Salute to the 1980s :: Made in USA :: Reasonable prices :: Fun community ::
I don’t know how they did it, but Chubbies makes short men’s shorts cool again! This is definitely an arguable subject, but honestly I was joking on the intro and must say that I am glad that shorts are now made to fall above the knees. I (Eric) am a mere 5’7″ and the long shorts popular in the last decade always looked clowney on me, typically leaving only 10″ of visible leg when wearing calf-height socks.
Chubbies has resurrected the good living of the 1980s and early ’90s, cleverly selling the simple and fun party lifestyle of those times (as I remember them). With shorts names like “The Journeys”, “The Griswolds”, “The Captain”, “The Pregames”, “The Def Leps”, “The Vice”…. and you must check out their other colors in all their glory… these shorts take you back to a time when there was no internet and you had to actually socialize to have a good time. Pick a color, grab a beer and take some photos to share on their Facebook page, and become an official “Chubster”.

Military Apparel Company: New Life to Military Uniform
:: Donations exchanged for gift cards :: Reasonable prices :: Growing product line ::
Military Apparel Company was founded on the unique concept of converting military uniforms into memorable and usable items. The company’s founder was struggling to make a living for her family as a single mother by using her sewing skills. In a moment of synchronicity, Maj. Dan Carroll of the U.S. Army requested that she create some special items to make as gifts for his mother and sister… and the rest is history.
Their product list is ever-expanding, and it is a great way to share with your loved ones through a re-incarnated form – an object they will cherish and always keep close. Simply mail your uniforms and choose the items you would like to have created, or else simply order an item and the materials will be provided. Choose from bags, purses, totes, man-purses, duffel bags, blankets, wallets, collars for your little furry friends, baby shoes, key fobs, and more. Additional military and patriotic products include jewelry, accessories, ornaments, tags and more.
Donations (especially tops) are exchanged for gift cards.

All-Ett: World’s Thinnest and Lightest Wallets
:: Many sizes, designs and colors :: Leather options :: Reasonable prices ::
When we received our sport wallet from All-Ett, our initial thought was that we had been ripped off… and I mean that in a good way! It was so ridiculously light and thin, that it almost felt like a paper wallet – however upon discovering the strength of the nylon material, we were soon relieved. If you have ever seen the Seinfeld episode where George suffers health issues from sitting on his fat wallet, you will appreciate that All-Ett is designed to prevent sciatic nerve damage and its associated pain.
All-Ett is a family owned and operated company that has been making wallets since 1995… Made in the USA! Designs include different configurations for men, women and travelers -several rip-stop nylon colors are one option (the same nylon used in boat sails), or you may opt for the slightly more expensive leather versions. Their leather is not bonded, making them softer and thinner than other wallet makers.
