With a last name like "Tracewell", it comes as little surprise that Jason is a designer at heart, having drawn up everything from billboards to websites to of course t-shirts. As big of a gamer as he is a gearhead, Jason still finds time to doodle designs like "No Sir", "Jacked", and "Revvit" in between motorcycle rides and Rock Band sessions.
Jason put down the sketchpad to answer a few questions:
As part of our quest to provide an ever-greater experience to you, our customer, we’re constantly tinkering under the hood of the BS machine. Like we all know, the best way to keep the engine running smoothly is to change the oil every so often. Kids and women's shirts are getting a restomod! Read on for full details or for the quick rundown check out the Pace Notes below.
The big news is we’re switching from the heavier Gildan shirts to the softer more comfortable Next Level tees, just like our adult line. This change affects the sizing: there is no longer an Extra Small (XS) offered, as the Next Level Small (S) fits the same size as the the Gildan XS. This means that if you ordered a Small previously you should order a Medium for your next tee and so on. The Next Level features a softer, more wearable shirt-sperience for your 100 octane youth. The tee’s also feature a slightly tapered sleeve and waist hem which makes them look more like your kid is wearing the tee instead of the other way around.
Our women's t-shirts are changing from one Next Level fit to a new more comfortable fit. It’s still a Next Level tee -- so the same quality you’ve come to love isn’t changing, nor is the sizing. This newer style features a stylish semi-scooped neckline and a slightly longer fit at the waistline. Overall changes make for a much better looking shirt and with the new 60/40 cotton/polyester blend the boffins at Next Level have managed to reduce shrinkage so the fit stays more consistent to your first wear, every wear.
The look of our women's tank is updated with switch to the racerback design. The racerback (they had us at "racer...") features straps on either side of the neckline that apex at the back of the garment to provide a more streamlined and aerodynamic look. The tank also features a wider shirttail hem at the bottom but, as the new style has slightly less spandex than the outgoing style the fit doesn’t change. So you should order the same size as your normal tank size. The blend switches to a new 60/40 cotton/polyester blend that reduces shrinkage when washing your tank for a more consistent fit.
