We just Sponsored our First Band!

I just noticed that every post I've made so far, the topic has ended with an exclamation point. Ha Ha, I guess that's what happens when you are excited about everything you write.

So back to what the topic is really about. Here at Sentimental we've been talking a lot about sponsoring bands, and we've actually held off on it for some time. We really want to do something different with sponsorships. Even though we have been solicited by a few bands in the past, and a few of them were really good, they have been turned down. By limiting the amount of bands we endorse, we feel that we can gain a better relationship with each band and together do more to help each other out. Many times band sponsorships work out in a basic way, where the clothing line sends the bands some shirts and hope the band will wear them while playing shows or during photo shoots. Well that's fine and all, but we want to stay away from the typical way bands are usually endorsed, so we have a few ideas up our sleeves that we'll be trying out soon. And to get things rolling and figured out, I'm pleased to announce that Sentimental has officially endorsed our first band; THE BOY AND HIS MACHINE!

They are currently featured on the front page of purevolume.com and should be up for a few more days. You can go listen to their music at http://www.purevolume.com/theboyandhismachine

As always more to come~

Running a Marathon!

So this past Sunday I was visiting with my dad and he mentioned that he had been training to run a marathon. I thought that was pretty cool. So while we were talking about it, he invited me to run it with him. And I accepted. So, I have 13 weeks to get myself into shape and ready to run 26.2 miles.

Well, to get started I figured I would need a decent pair of shoes. So yesterday I went to a local sporting store and tried on a few pair. I ended up getting this pair of "Brooks" running shoes. I think that they were the ugliest pair I tried on, but definitely the most comfortable. Well I guess they're not that ugly.

The plan is to run 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week, and then a 45 minuted run on saturday. Each week I bump the Saturday run up 15 minutes until I'm up to around 3 hours of running.


So this morning I ran my first time, probably since high school. It wasn't too bad of a run, but wow do I have a long way to go. I ended up running just short of 3 miles!

Anyway, I'm sure I'll continue to keep you updated on the progress as I train.

Here is a pic of me with my new shoes. Hopefully by the time I'm done with this race I'll be back to having one Chin!

Hey ya'll, it's Nate from Sentimental and I'm finally making my big debut on our new blog. Keep checking back often because one, we have a lot of cool things to say, and two, maybe we'll throw in a little discount code or prize here and there just to keep things fun :)

Me and my wife (Morgan) moved to Georgia to work for the summer, so I'm posting 2000 miles away from Sentimental headquarters. There are some great opportunities to help build our brand down here in Georgia, as well as do some side work. In fact, we're so busy with everything we have going on, I hardly see Morgan anymore except at night, around eleven. Needless to say, we've been going through some major withdrawals, so last night I picked her up at eleven and we went out to this killer restaurant down in Atlanta that's open late. They specialize in chicken and waffles, as well as good old southern soul food. Morgan got the chicken and waffles, and I got the baked chicken with some fried okra and collard greens. It wasn't the best food to sleep on, but dang it was good. We ordered a new camera a few days ago, so when that comes in I'll be posing all kinks of pictures from Dixie land.

But back to Sentimental, we have a ton of exciting things coming up. Our webstore has been running for a month now and it doing awesome. If you get a chance go and check out our two new shirts on preorder, I promise they will both turn out awesome, just like the mocks, and you will be a happier person when they are in your closet :)

As always, we love you guys and want to hear from you. Your suggestions and comments are what keep this engine running. Feel free to write me at my personal email: Nate@Sentimentalent.com, I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks guys! We post a lot so keep checking back!

Sentimental Sponsorships!

So we've had the opportunity lately to do some sponsorships! Last weekend we donated some sound equipment to Relay for Life! And this next week we are sponsoring an in-line skater at a competition in Ceder City UT. He will be competing in a preliminary for the chance to compete in a world wide competition! I'll post some pictures from the competition as soon as I get them.

Getting Started!

Hello World. So this is the first post on the Brand New Official Sentimental Clothing Blog!!

Due to the fact that we were never able to get a good website up, we decided that all we really need is a blog. Everybody is doing them these days, so why not jump on the bandwagon. Please check here often. We plan on keeping it updated with all kinds of stuff.

Thanks,
Adam
