Introducing Tier1-Dad

Sunday, June 26th, 2016

Tier1-Dad is the brainchild of Jack Osborne who showed me a sneak peek of the line during SHOT Show 2015. While it seems to have taken awhile to get it going, Jack has been hard at working being the best dad he can. And, that’s what he wanted with this military inspired brand of clothing and accessories for infants, toddlers and their parents.  It’s really well thought out stuff, for great dads.

The bags look like something a dad would own; range, messenger and duffle-styles, but they work quite well as diaper bags. All of thes American Made designs include a laser cut PALS compatible field But T1D also has an optional insert for bottles.

There’s some other cool stuff there as well, like this Organic Battle Rig Moss Green Onesie. If you’re a parent of a tyke, or know someone who is, go check out the website.

Longtab Brewing

Saturday, June 18th, 2016

Longtab Brewing was founded by some SF dudes who love beer. SF guys loving beer? Imagine that. But I digress.

They originally wanted to call the company Meerket brewing due to the mascot of their ODA (2023, seen in silhouette below during operations in Afghanistan in 2002) but the name was taken by a wine company. So, they chose another name with a nod to their DNA. It’s a good fit. Their planned beverages also have appropriate names.

It’s been a long week. I could use a beer. Unfortunately, it won’t be a Longtab until 2017. Until then, keep up with their progress at www.longtabbrewing.com.
