WSI: High Tech Sport and Performance Clothing and Gear
:: Standard and custom colors and printing :: Sport categories :: Protective gear ::
Move over “Under Armour”! WSI has been making performance gear and protective clothing using high-tech fabrics since 1990, and has an IMPRESSIVE collection of sport clothing. Stock items are available to the individual, or if you have a larger order for your team, you may choose custom colors and even upload your own images for sublimated printing patterns and logos over the entire design with complete flexibility of design for your organization. Atta-boy!! Atta-girl!!
Innovative fabrics, such as WikMax and Wikmax HEATR have two different functions: Wikmax keeps the skin dry, and HEATR technology keeps the skin warm, causing your blood vessels to dilate- not only keeping you warmer, but allowing you to burn fat faster than normal clothing. HEATR also helps with muscle recovery and blood flow for quicker warm-up time.
Sport categories include: baseball, softball, hockey, football, cycling, tactical, soccer, lacrosse, snow sports, running, training, and hunting/outdoors (yes, camo sublimated prints too!).
Clothing options include short sleeve and long sleeve shirts, all types of shorts and pants, as well as caps, ear warmers, wrist warmers, arm warmers, socks, gloves, groin protection and more.
Available through their online store and at retailers near you.

MHP: Grills, Built-ins, Parts and Outdoor Gas Lighting
:: Reasonable prices :: Ten mounting and base options :: Infrared and hybrids ::
MHP has been making grills since the 1950s and has several plug-and-play grill systems where you choose your model, then opt for various mountings, head and shelving options. We are big fans of the folding side shelf option to maximize patio space. Now that Americans invest more into outdoor living, the built-ins are designed to fit into your next outdoor kitchen upgrade.
Grill features include propane and natural gas options, stainless or aluminum grids, optional bolt-down or in-ground posts (great for natural gas), heat indicators, infrared burner options (heats up in 3 minutes), and more.
Their outdoor gas lighting has quite a few mounting and design options, so check out their catalog… Brass and Aluminum lamps mount onto posts, or onto your wall, and are perfect for creating a dramatic effect during the holidays. If you are trying to complete your perfect patio experience, have a look at their Polynesian and Flower Luau torch heads! Great for chillin’ with that Tiki vibe.
MHP offers grilling accessories, but many are imported. Let us know if you have discovered great American-made brushes and we will pass the word on to them. They are open to looking for USA manufacturers!
Bullet Blues: Quality Stylish Apparel, American to the Core
:: Fabric, buttons et al made in America :: Design-centric clothing :: More than jeans ::
Bullet Blues centers their clothing lines on quality design and American sourcing. The very name Bullet Blues originates from a feeling that the French-American founder had while visiting Normandy, in honor of the American soldiers who died in Europe during WWII… in this case the perfect embodiment of “Let Freedom Ring”.
Still a relatively new company, Bullet Blues lines of clothing for women and men are continually expanding, with offerings in jeans, belts, tops and dresses. Jeans for women are offered in day (Jour) and night designs (Nuit), which fit like a glove over the curves with a touch of elasticity in the mix. Men’s jeans also are available in Jour or Nuit flavors. Women’s tops and dresses are sleek and sophisticated, yet remarkably affordable! We can’t wait to see how their product lines evolve. Made in USA!
Bullet Blues offers very handy sizing charts that compare with other jean brands, so you know what you’ll be getting into before purchase.
Free international shipping as of 2012!
Schott: Heirloom Quality Leather Jackets and Outdoorwear
:: Huge selection :: Unbelievable quality and history :: Pay more, get more
The first jacket makers to use a zipper, Schott brothers have made jackets that have helped define American history, culture and style… from the Perfecto motorcycle jacket (named after a favorite cigar) to WWII Bomber jackets commissioned by the US Air Force, to classic big-screen appearances with Marlon Brando and James Dean in the 1950s, to punk rock of the 70s and 80s – Blondie, The Ramones, Joan Jett, and the Sex Pistols were a few of the icons of that era.
Schott has a wide range of outdoor wear for men and women, including peacoats, duffle coats, flight jackets, motorcycle jackets of many flavors, nylon outerwear, knits and sportswear, and leather pants and chaps. Quality and style ooze from each hand crafted garment. Visit their website to catch up on their history and zoom into high resolution photos of their clothing. These are the kinds of jackets that one might just save up for.

QMT Wind Chimes: Outstanding Affordable Wind Chimes
:: Great prices :: Huge selection :: Various tunings :: Hand made
QMT makes their amazing wind chimes in Virginia, using locally sourced materials. After we heard the Arias wind chimes in person, we had to retire our old wind chimes that inadvertently played Star Wars imperial tune when the wind blew just right! The Arias we tested out was perfect pitch, and all the bells together created no wavering – it was a pure and beautiful chord, which still sounds perfect five years later! Even the cabling and pieces have withstood many windy seasons.
We highly recommend QMT’s products, and if you ever get a chance, check out their very large chimes – amazing! QMT has several lines under different names which have different tunings, materials, and levels of craft detail. Ranging from 15″ to 74″, Made in USA!
