Custom Norwich Flannel Shirts?!
(We bet these guys would have wanted them!)
One of the exciting things about building a brand created specifically for the alumni, students, and families of Norwich University - The Military College of Vermont - is getting everyone's feedback to see if our instincts are on point. The vintage letter sweater discussion reinforced our beliefs of what this brand can be and what it can deliver for our fellow Cadets.
With that in mind, we've been exploring the idea of bringing a custom flannel shirt - pattern and color - branded under Paine Mountain Outfitters - to our customers in the future if there is enough demand. While we'd like to work with a Vermont-based flannel shirt company (we won't name them but you can probably figure it out) they have been cool to the idea. They just don't do that type of thing...yet.
So we did some digging and came across a company that DOES create custom patterns/colors and DOES brand the shirt with the logo of the company they are working with. They support first responders and veterans and have a "rough around the edges" vibe that most of us can relate to. This company is DIXXON Flannel. We've had a couple phone calls to learn their process and it is lengthy but very collaborative. We haven't settled on working with anyone just yet, but these guys seem pretty cool.
So, what are YOUR thoughts on a custom flannel shirt pattern specifically made for NUCC grads, students, and their families? Do you think it would be cool to create this type of item? Leave your thoughts below! Your feedback will guide us in whether we continue to pursue this goal long-term.
