The Not So Ugly Christmas Sweater

brightadmin — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 20:09:06 +0000

The holiday season is here.. the holiday party season and many of you are busy attending with family, friends and neighbors. There are parties for singing Christmas carols. Parties for sharing favorite Christmas cookie recipes, exchanging ornaments and pot luck parties at work. However, there is one party we won’t be attending: The Ugly Christmas Sweater Party. We can see the humor, we just don’t think we have a thing to wear!

At Brightwater, we hand pick our sweaters. We offer classic, festive sweaters like these from Dale of Norway:

Women’s sweater from Lole.

Classic sweater in solid colors? We have those too… like this men’s Victorinox V-neck.

…and this Benson classic cable knit…

…Norwegian Fisherman’s sweater, another from Dale of Norway.

You see, no ugly Sweaters here… You might just want to skip that party!

Autumn Goodness

The fall season is here and we’re big fans, especially here in Minnesota. It’s hard not to be. Here are a few of our favorites: For starters… the leaves changing into unbelievable colors, like this… Pumpkins and anything pumpkin related (pies, bars, lattes yum!) Cool crisp nights Chili and corn bread. Football games. The Fall holidays of Halloween & Thanksgiving. We’ve all got a lot to be thankful for…

The list goes on… but what the folks here at Brightwater like the most about fall, are the clothes! Some of our favorites are:

Quilted jackets by Barbour

Sweaters by Dale of Norway

Hats by Stormy Kromer, Dohm, Fire & Ice!

…And boots! Just look at these by Ariat!

Not to mention flannels from Fjallraven, Parkas from Fire & Ice, leather bags from J.W. Hulme & Co., and so much more! There’s only fault with Fall here in Minnesota; it’s just too short!

So enjoy! Winter will be here before you know it.

Locally Grown Clothing at Brightwater

brightadmin — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 19:25:54 +0000

Brightwater has Locally Grown in the shop—both tee shirts and wovens. I believe in what Locally Grown Clothing Co. is all about—not only from the food aspect; but perhaps, more importantly, from the business model. A love for the Midwest inspires Locally Grown to fight to save small towns and the environment.

The quality of the Tees is great. The hand: soft, and fit is updated. The messages speak for themselves. As one customer put it, “I don’t wear tee shirts with stuff on them, but I’ll wear this one.” The women’s fit is especially good.

I’m even more excited about the woven shirts. Only for guys so far… Great iconic ginghams, that have this feel that they are straight out of Iowa AND they are are cool! The fact they are made in the states makes them just a bit hipper!

I will continue to search far and wide to find unique products that fit with Brightwater. If they’re domestically produced, even better!
