BluffWorks Threshold Performance T-shirt

NEWS – BluffWorks has been steadily building a very impressive product offering over the past few years, including their most recent, the Horizon Quilted Vest and the Departure Travel Jeans.  Their latest offering is the Threshold Performance T-Shirt, which continues BluffWorks’ pattern of simple yet stylish, technical and durable clothing suitable for travel, office or everyday wear.  T-shirts have become a quite ubiquitous staple of wardrobes worldwide since their introduction around the turn of the 20th century, so what makes the Threshold Performance T-Shirt unique?  A fair question. Below are a rundown of its features.

For starters, it’s quite a bit more technical than the standard cotton T-shirt, made from a blend of 66% Polyester, 29% Lyocell, and 5% Elastaine so it is lightweight and breathable, moisture-wicking and quick-drying, and has 4-way stretch for better freedom of movement.  It also has both gold and silver nano-particles embedded into the fabric to aid in odor resistance.  It even has UPF 50+ sun protection.  It is also available in five colors: Peak White, Mist Grey, Hurricane Grey, Deep Orange, or Maritime Blue, all suitable for layering under a BluffWorks Meridian Dress Shirt or worn on their own.  And finally, to best fit your physique and preference, it’s available in two fits, Slim and Classic, two lengths, Regular and Tall, and sizes XS through XL.  Visit BluffWorks.com to find more info on the Threshold Performance T-Shirt or to pre-order it for $45.

Carbon fiber makes everything cool, including musical instruments

NEWS – If you’ve ever wanted to learn to play a stringed instrument but were intimidated by the number of strings and frets on a guitar, then you should really consider a ukulele or in this case, a banjolele. This particular instrument is the Outdoor Ukulele Banjolele and what makes it special is that it’s made of carbon fiber with eye-catching radial bracing.

Outdoor Ukulele banjoleles are available in four versions. You can choose between a coated or clear banjo head and nickel or gold plated tuners. What’s great about these instruments from Outdoor Ukulele is that they aren’t made of wood so you don’t have to ever worry about them cracking due to lack of humidity. On the flip side, the tone of a non-wood ukulele might not be as warm as a traditional wooden uke. But that shouldn’t be a big issue with a banjolele because bright twang is a good thing.

Ukes are really fun and easy to learn. I used to play guitar and switched over to ukuleles because I liked the smaller size overall size of the instrument and the narrow fretboard which makes it easier to make chords. If you’re interested in one of these unique musical instruments from Outdoor Ukulele, one of their banjoleles will set you back $245 – $255 depending on the model. Visit outdoorukulele.com for more info.
