J&O Fabrics Celebrates 100 Days in Office with President Barack Obama Cottons.

Usually we only list one fabric for the Fabric Award of the Week, but last week we got in three prints from VIP’s Barack Obama cotton print collection that are really something special.

When Barack Obama first became elected as the 44th President of the United States back in January of this year, the printed fleece carrying his blazoned image in commemoration of his triumphant and historic win, sold out in a matter of minutes in many fabric stores across the country including ours. And as we placed orders for more, our customers demands for cotton prints as well as the fleece grew. A few weeks later, the mills started printing the cottons, and our customers couldn’t be happier.
