Introducing Ugmonk Premium Apparel

Jeff — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 16:13:10 +0000

It was about a year ago that we introduced the Ugmonk Premium Line with the release of the Ugmonk Leather Journals. It was always the plan to include premium apparel items, but until recently we hadn’t found any apparel items that we felt qualified as premium.

We’ve always put a huge emphasis on comfort and quality, so we wanted to create items that truly stood out for our Premium Line. Each of these three new items features a unique application of the signature Ugmonk Premium Ampersand and a special woven Ugmonk Premium tag.

The first item is an ultra-soft triblend fleece crewneck featuring a custom cut and sewn large felt ampersand appliqué. Perfect to throw on over your tee when you need something little warmer. It’s so soft you might never want to take it off.

If you’re looking for something a little more subtle, check out the new long-sleeve henley with an embroidered ampersand. The dark blue shirt is made of soft ringspun cotton and great for layering.

Finally, in response to many of your requests, we’re happy to introduce our first v-neck tee. This triblend heather charcoal v-neck features a sleek black ampersand print and custom woven tag. Made from the softest material we could find. (Sizing note: the v-necks tend to run a bit small, so we suggest ordering one size larger than you would normally.)

Head over to the shop and check them out. We’d love to hear what you think.

Why I Like Instagram

Jeff — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 17:54:13 +0000

If you have an iPhone you’ve at least heard of Instagram. It’s an iPhone app that allows you to take photos, apply filters and share with your friends. That simple.

While there are countless other photo apps available, Instagram has stuck with me because of its simplicity and fun process. Sure the vintage filters can be overused and a bit cliche at times, but there’s something nice about its constraints and how easy it is to enhance and share photos.

When I have a camera in my hand I tend to looks at the world differently. I’m more aware of lighting, unique angles, and little details that would otherwise go unnoticed. Having an iPhone in my pocket at all times has caused me to constantly be in this same mindset and always on the lookout. Rather than just store the photos on my phone, Instagram acts as my visual journal. Scanning through my feed of photos is a neat way to look back at past events and moments that would have otherwise been forgotten.

It’s easy to say “I don’t live anywhere cool, so there’s not much to take photos of” but that just means you have to look a little harder. There’s so much beauty in ordinary things and places to be found. Here are a few of my favorite shots from my Instagram feed.

Aspen

Jeff — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 14:15:44 +0000

This past week I traveled out to Aspen with my family for a week of riding. Thankfully this year I didn’t lose my iPhone on the slopes and we lucked out with amazing weather. The temperatures were warmer than normal but we still got a bunch of fresh snow which made for great conditions. I’ve been to quite a few mountains in Colorado but Aspen Snowmass is probably my all-time favorite. If you ever have the chance, I highly recommend it.

If you’ve been following me on Instagram you’ve seen some of the spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains that I got to take in last week. The photos will give you a small glimpse into what it’s like but there are some things that you just have to experience in person to fully appreciate. More about why I like Instagram so much coming soon.

All photos taken with my iPhone 4.
