If this is your first introduction to Collared Greens I would like to welcome you. Collared Greens is a small American clothing company committed to creating jobs in America and reducing our ecological footprint; all the while creating a cool product that embodies the lifestyle at Collared Greens. We have a long way to go before we reach our goals as a company but we are working as hard as ever with the resources we have, striving to make a difference one piece of clothing at a time.
Collared Greens is thrilled to be a part of the social shift-taking place in America right now. A new generation is taking over and taking the right steps to a cleaner and safer American economy. We must learn from our past to create a healthier way of living for the future. We always try to remember that “we did not inherit this land from our fathers, we are merely borrowing it from our children.” Collared Greens is proud to be a part of the next generation that is taking the reigns and leading America to a brighter and cleaner future.
Collared Greens was started with $300 in a small little bedroom at the base of Bald Mountain in Ketchum, Idaho. However, with incredible customer service and a 100% satisfaction guarantee attached to all our products, we have managed to sell 4,040 products this year, which not only exemplifies significant company growth but also shows the strength and support of likeminded individuals dedicated to improving our country and world. Collared Greens is now offered at 65 wonderful retailers who we consider partners in leading the charge to promote eco-friendly, American made goods. Each and every retailer has been unbelievably supportive and provided useful advice to a young company filled with passion and determination.
A smart team has gathered around Collared Greens, determined to make a difference and a positive impact on the American economy while giving consumers excellent value for their dollar. We have only just begun this exciting journey and we hope you will join us and experience many of our wonderful products that were created by our fellow Americans, with the exception of our excellent fitting hats, which have so far been manufactured in China from organic cotton – but we’re working on that.
Collared Greens is always trying to improve and get better, especially with our environmentally friendly initiatives.
How are we environmentally friendly? Collared Greens is environmentally friendly because we do everything in our power and budget to create products that are less harmful to the environment than our competitors. All of our polo shirts, tee shirts and hats are made with organic cotton. All of our packaging and hangtags are created with recycled paper. We re-use everything we can, especially in the shipping department. We recycle everything we can at the rubbish center each week. We manufacture as close to Collared Greens headquarters as we can. We minimize the use of recycled plastic by only using it if it is a must. We are 1% Percent for the Planet members. We offset our carbon footprint with Native Energy and we created the CG/24 Conservation Project to donate an additional 1% of our profits to environmental foundations.
While 1% of our bottom line right now might not be a huge sum of money, we are confident that with the help of likeminded consumers and our wholesale partners, we can grow the number to an amount that truly makes a difference in our world.
Thank you for taking the time to look at Collared Greens Fall 2010 line. It is not a big line; but it is a fun fall line with 5 new tie designs, a hat, and a tee shirt in honor of a short beautiful season. Quantities are limited. It was inspired by the Emperor penguin and the current economic situation. We are listening to our mentors and growing the CG brand slowly and putting the majority of our resources towards a big bright Spring 2011 line where we will be launching 22 new beautiful silks. A limited debut belt line along with our entire Spring 2011 men’s tie, bow tie and boys tie line will be available at retailers and online for Christmas.
Collared Greens believes that consumers should buy meaningful, creative products from meaningful, creative companies with high standards and strong ethics. Collared Greens was founded on one simple concept that harbors high standards and strong ethics: elegance and eco-consciousness. We are proud of the firm platform we stand on. The Collared Greens team is excited to launch the Fall 2010 line with this catalog.
We appreciate your business greatly and fully understand that without our customers Collared Greens would cease to exist. That is why when you buy a Collared Greens product you are not just buying a product, you are creating a relationship with us and we will honor that relationship. We are always here to help at 1-866-418-9158 or my email r.randolph@collaredgreens.com.
On behalf of the entire Collared Greens team we Thank You for all your support and for the opportunity to create wonderful products that have less of on impact on the environment than industry standard. We are extremely passionate about what we do and we are thrilled to be working for you.
Enjoy the beautiful and colorful fall season, it will set you free.
Sincerely,
R. Randolph Ashton
