It may be hard to believe, but t-shirts weren’t always in style. Back in the day, our grandparents were rocking 5 piece suits and dresses and skirts. We thought it would be fun to learn a little bit more the history of the t-shirt and follow it’s evolution into our every day style. This staple item is owned by just about everyone—whether it’s that Fruit of the Loom 3-pack variety you picked up from Target, the shirt you got for running a 5K, or even a graphic logo tee that … Read More

4 Examples Of Wearable Technology That Will Blow Your Mind
We like to refer to our light up shirts as being the next step in the evolution of t-shirts.

However, our sound activated shirts are not the only fashion item pushing technological limits. There are quite a few pieces of clothing that still blow us away with how they have integrated new technology into fashion while affecting our emotions and psychology.

What better way to outdo … Read More

While some may seem more enticing with lower prices, it is important to take into consideration the triangle of service. If you have not heard of this before, it’s quite simple. There are three kinds of services: fast, cheap, and good. But within the triangle, you can only choose two options: For example, if you want good service cheap, it will not be fast. If you want good service fast, it will not be … Read More
What is Electroluminescence (El)?
Have you ever wondered how our shirts light up? The technology behind our illuminated shirts is called “electroluminescence” or EL. Don’t get overwhelmed, it’s a lot less scarier than it sounds. EL devices are lamps, but not in the traditional sense. Incandescent light bulbs found in your ordinary house lamp creates light through heating a filament. EL, on the other hand, uses phosphorescent materials that glow when exposed to a small electrical current. In layman's terms, when connected to a power source, EL releases energy in the form of photons ... Read More
