DU Made in USA Custom Shirting Program!

We’re pleased to announce the start of our Made in USA Custom Shirting Program! Here’s how it works:

You set up an fitting appointment with our in-house design team to be measured, and also pick out styles and fabrics for your custom order. A week later you come back to try on your “prototype” shirt to make sure everything is fitting the way you want. Then Four weeks later you will receive you own custom Made in USA production run. We make it super easy, and super affordable. We offer this for both men and women!  For more info email info@dredgersunion.com

 

Final Clue for Hunt in the 216!

Here it is…  The final clue for the first ever DU Hunt in the 216!

In the heart of downtown this time I will stay,
On this glorious, victorious, final clue day.
To a street formerly known as Sheriff I will go,
And find a place that sells a “crush”, and the stuff we call Joe.

Then I’m gonna book it to DU and win!

Remember, the first person to relay the message on the puzzle pieces wins $100 gift card, and gets to name a piece from the DU S12 line, and get that piece in his or her size when the line is released.  No phone calls, you must be here in person to win…

Also, anyone that comes in with the completed message after the winner gets 20% their entire purchase at the DU today!

The city of Cleveland was also kind enough to offer free metered parking downtown today in honor of the release of today’s final clue!

Good luck and Happy Hunting!!!

Dredgers Union “On the Map” Video

Below is the Dredgers Union segment from the “On the Map” video series created by Go Media.  They dropped by the DU a few months back to chat with Sean and Danielle.

“On the Map is a video series featuring the people and places that make Cleveland a creative, culturally rich, and inspiring place to live and work.”

Check it out!

American Made

It’s rare that background stories from the factory make it to the retail floor. This is one that has to be shared…

Our factory was running late on the second delivery of our Dredgers Union womens line. They knew we had set a date for our “Fall Collection Release Open House”, but were still having trouble making the deadline, given the days that shipping would add.

So they personally drove the balance from Chicago to our store last night.

Try getting that done overseas.

Dredgers Union Website is now Live!
