Green is the Colour!

Well it’s that time of year again when the men of the houses turn Hockey off, and switch to Football.

I must say I have never been big into football, however when you live with someone who is a “Die Hard” fan you can’t help but wonder what they are yelling about in the other room and Have to go check it out. After several years of “checking it out”, it just becomes natural to wander in and ask “what’s the score?” or, “Who’s winning.

Well it didn’t take long for my husband to ask me to go with him to a game. I went and actually really enjoyed it. I was, however completely unprepared as I believe I was one of the few people there not wearing green. Had he warned me that apparently that is the thing to do when you go to a game; I could have went shopping.

At Blue Collar we now have a full line of Roughrider gear for every shape, size and gender, with ladies and children’s tee’s as well as men’s tee’s and hoodies. New to this year’s stock are wonderful fleece blankets, perfect for gifts for the “Die Hard” fan in the family.

So when you find yourself going to a game be sure to stop by at Blue Collar Basics and check our Saskatchewan Roughrider Gear.

What's New with Online?

Wow! Who knew that there was so much you could do on the internet with your store? First of all we started with a blog. As you can see, it is going great! Every week we have a new person writing about products in the store, and the staff couldn’t be happier doing it! They get excited when it is their turn to write the blog!

Secondly, we have started Facebook Fridays with our Facebook account. I know what your thinking, what is that? Well, let me tell you it is awesome! Every Friday we post a bunch of pictures at low low prices! If you like what you see you write sold on the picture and the item is all yours! It is so simple to get discounted items! Also once a month we have bidding wars. How they work is we have a starting price. When someone wants to make a bid they put their price. We have a reserve bid put into place so if the price amount doesn’t get that high, the item doesn’t sell. So if you like something keep your eye out on that item so you can bid higher than others.

Lastly, the website. I have talked about the website a few times but I can not express how excited I am about it! We have so many different types of clothing for kids, shoes, and much much more. If you want to check it out, go to http://www.lileezecloset.com/.

If you like hearing everything that happens around Blue Collar and want to know more about our other store with toys and such. Check out the blog at http://www.seredaspharmacy.blogspot.com/ and go to the website http://www.seredaspharmacy.com/

Small Plum Children's Wear

Small Plum Children’s Wear, this innovative line of clothing is great for young infants and growing toddlers.  The durability and softness of the clothing is an essential for any small person’s wardrobe!

Why bamboo over other textiles-When considering all of the textile options for the Small Plum line, using organic bamboo as the base of the textile fiber has many advantages. There are many fine qualities of the material such as the silky hand, fiber strength and high absorbency. In addition, there are many environmental benefits of bamboo, some of which are described below:

Sustainability- Bamboo is one of our most sustainable resources. It is the fastest growing grass on the planet, and grows organically without the need for fertilizers, pesticides or irrigation.

Climate Change- Bamboo is helping in the fight against global warming through rapid CO₂ sequestration. One hectare of bamboo sequesters 62 tons of carbon dioxide per year. This is especially significant when compared to the 15 tons per year carbon sequestration of a young forest.

Water Preservation- Unlike cotton and most other crops, bamboo requires no irrigation. According the United Nations, the material for one cotton t-shirt can require 2,500 liters of water. Organic cotton is even thirstier than conventional cotton, although organic farmers are actively working to reduce the water requirements!

Land Preservation and Harvesting - Land usage for food and other crops is under enormous pressure by the earth's six billion people. Bamboo grows very densely and yields up to 60 tons per hectare compared to the low 1-2 tons per hectare yield of organic and conventional cotton.  With respect to harvesting, bamboo can be continually re-harvested with no damage to the surrounding environment.

Pesticide-Free Growth - Bamboo does not require pesticides, many of which are well documented to be toxic and extremely hazardous.

Now available in various colors (green, blue, purple, pink, etc.), sizes (0-3,3-6,6-12,12-18, and 18-24), and styles (pants, shirts and bodysuits)
