North Adams Brings Independent Artist Designs To Graphic Tees And Hoodies
North Adams started with a singular goal: better t-shirt designs. After the company’s Founder, Bryan Tomek, continued to come up empty when searching for simple, quality apparel graphics, he conceived North Adams to fill the void. The company’s unique line of graphic tees focusses on simple, clean composition with illustrations created by independent artists. This fall they introduced a line of hoodies and plan to expand to other apparel, hats and select merchandise.
Design is king at North Adams; however, quality also plays a significant role. All of their crew neck t-shirts and pullover hoodies are made using premium fabric blends that include organic combed ring-spun cotton. This fabric type uses a unique manufacturing process that removes the rougher, smaller fibers during a combing process. The material is then tightly wound into durable yarn. This results in a softer, stronger fabric.
Sustainability is also a consideration at North Adams. They are committed to playing a role in reducing the impact that apparel manufacturing has on the environment. As a result, all of their t-shirts and hoodies are manufactured using a variety of sustainable methods.
North Adams’ three design collections include a focus on Outdoor, Retro & Lifestyle and Independent Business logos. Outdoor designs include modern, simple takes on mountain ranges, sunsets, and fishing themes, among others. Some of their Retro & Lifestyle designs include a classic scrambler motorcycle, and a lightning bolt. And their independent business logos offer a fresh take on logo tees and hoodies with a collection of logos from small businesses and unique business concept logo designs.
The North Adams unisex crew neck t-shirt is designed with a slightly tailored fit. The sleeves and chest are cut a bit slimmer, with a little more forgiveness around the waste. The results is a sharp look that is not restrictive. The fabric is super soft, comfortable and results in less pilling over time.
North Adams’ pullover hoodies feature a clean, contemporary fit. Side pockets provide a smoother canvas for their illustrations. This is a midweight sweatshirt that is not too heavy, yet provides the warmth and softness of a premium garment. It works well for layering, or just on its own.
All of the graphic tees and hoodies at North Adams’s are unisex. They are cut with a fitted silhouette that is flattering for the more form fitting appeal of today’s modern t-shirt for men, yet they offer enough room in the chest for women.
