Carhartt Canvas Fabric: Born and Worn In the USA

 

If you know anything about  Carhartt Canvas, you know there is no fabric more cut out to handle the wear and tear it often withstands in upholstery, work gear, outerwear and footing applications. Born from a mill whose name stamp has become synonymous with durability and soft handed flexibility, this gorgeous, high-quality material is the stuff that strong reputations are built off of.

With the rights to boast over 128 years of consistent manufacturing in the USA, Carhartt proudly has no intentions of producing their products anywhere else . Why? Because for them and their over 2,000 employees, crafting American-made products is an important part of Carhartt’s DNA and important to the hardworking American towns where they built their business.

Martin Luther King & President Barack Obama

With the closing of one year and the opening of another, many of us who live by our planners often find ourselves marking off holidays and special occasions in our new date books and office/home calendars as soon as we get them. After the days off work and the days of vacation or celebration are securely implanted in our memory banks and written with countdown in mind, then come the doctors appointments, pta meetings, business conferences, and the list goes on and on.

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.

Barack Obama Visits J&O Fabric !


They say every man is born with a purpose, and from an early age, the unseen hand of purpose was upon Barack Obama; molding and shaping him, guiding him into and throughout his political career until his purpose met with victory at the 2008 presidential elections. A victory meant for him at this place and this time in the evolution of mankind. A purpose no more and no less than the little girl who grows up to become a successful actress or the little boy who becomes a starving artist. That all three honored their respective purposes is the dream most wish and strive to fulfill.
