Shopping for clothes online? Chances are you will encounter many of the same base t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies across various clothing companies and sellers. Gildan. Comfort Colors. Bella + Canvas. So how do you choose one over the other?Discover the Differences: A Detailed Comparison of How to Choose Between these Popular T-Shirts, Sweatshirts, and Hoodies When it comes to choosing the perfect blank apparel for print on demand (POD) clothing, there are several factors to consider. From print quality to the fabric composition, to wearability and more, each shirt has different features that cater to different preferences and needs. The Differences Between Popular Print-on-Demand Shirts Women's T-Shirts Two of the most popular women's t-shirts that we use are the Bella + Canva 6400 and the Gildan 880. Both are excellent quality shirts, but they are not exactly the same. Bella + Canvas 6400: Known for its lightweight soft feel and flattering fit, the Bella + Canvas 6400 is crafted from 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton. It has a very lightweight fabric that makes it ideal for warmer weather (like hot Florida days) or for layering under coats or jackets. Plus, the Bella + Canvas 6400 uses a premium quality fabric, which helps with vibrant print results for graphic tees (and for comfort). Gildan 880: The Gildan 880 offers a more relaxed fit and is a quality shirt made from 100% cotton. It's slightly heavier than the Bella + Canvas 6400. This means that it is generally a more durable product for heavy wear and offers a more structured silhouette due to the extra weight. The Gildan 880 is a great and practical choice for everyday wear. Bottom Line, Women's T-Shirts: Consider the fit and fabric preference. If you prioritize softness and a fitted look, opt for Bella + Canvas 6400. For those seeking a slightly more budget-friendly option with a relaxed fit, Gildan 880 is one to consider. Unisex T-Shirts We use a lot of unisex t-shirts at 1923 Main Street and there are a few main products that we view as excellent options. Here are the differences between them. Bella + Canvas 3001: This is a very popular shirt that is well known for its fit and soft feel. Similar to the 6400 model above, the Bella + Canvas 3001 is made from 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton. It comes in a variety of color options, giving it good versatility and style. Once again, the benefit of the Bella + Canvas 3001 lies in its lightweight fabric, perfect for all-day comfort and vibrant print results. Gildan 64000: Made from 100% preshrunk cotton, the Gildan 64000 is the epitome of durability and a classic fit. It's slightly heavier than the Bella + Canvas 3001, providing a structured look and wear. The benefit of the Gildan 64000 is its classic t-shirt weight, coupled with affordability and wide range of available colors. Comfort Colors 1717: Made from 100% ringspun cotton, the Comfort Colors 1717 is another very popular t-shirt. It offers a relaxed fit and garment-dyed softness. The Comfort Colors 1717 is known for its lived-in feel and vintage look. This t-shirt is a great combination of ultimate comfort and a unique aesthetic. The benefit of the Comfort Colors 1717 lies in its distinct style and cozy wear, making it a favorite among those seeking a laid-back vibe for their prints. However, it comes at a price of costing slightly more than the other options here. Bottom Line, Unisex T-Shirts: All of these are great shirts and you can't go wrong with any of them. When faced with a choice, consider your style preference, the fit and your intended use. If you a relaxed fit and vintage appeal are more important, the Comfort Colors 1717 is worth considering. For a classic fit and budget-friendly option, Gildan 64000 is a reliable choice, while Bella + Canvas 3001 offers a trendy "retail" fit and softer feel. Unisex Hoodies There are two main hoodies that are used quite often. We love them both (and so will you), but they do have their differences. Cotton Heritage M2580: The Cotton Heritage M2580 hoodie is a premium hoodie that's made from a blend of cotton and polyester, offering warmth and comfort. Its fleece interior adds cozy insulation, making it perfect for cooler weather. The benefit of this hoodie lies in its premium fabric blend, ensuring durability and cozy wear. Gildan 18500: Also made from a cotton and polyester blend, the Gildan 18500 hoodie offers a roomy fit and soft feel. Its air-jet spun yarn ensures minimal pilling, maintaining a smooth surface for printing. The benefit here is its affordability without compromising on quality. It has a more structured feel to it and feels less like a sweater. Bottom Line, Unisex Hoodies: These are both great hoodies. Price may be a consideration, as the Cotton Heritage comes with more of a premium price tag. Beyond that, consider the climate and desired level of warmth. If you need a hoodie for colder weather or outdoor activities, opt for Cotton Heritage M2580. For a truly versatile and budget-friendly option, the Gildan 18500 is a very popular hoodie and a solid can't-go-wrong choice. Unisex Sweatshirts Similar to hoodies, there are two main sweatshirts that we use and that are found at a large number of clothing companies. Cotton Heritage M2480: This cotton and polyester blend sweatshirt offers comfort and durability. Its ribbed cuffs and waistband provide a snug fit, while the fleece interior keeps you warm. The benefit lies in its premium fabric blend and construction, ensuring long-lasting wear. Gildan 18000: Made from a blend of cotton and polyester, the Gildan 18000 sweatshirt features air-jet spun yarn for a softer feel and reduced pilling. It has a very classic sweatshirt fit and it is slightly more affordable, making it a popular choice for everyday wear. Its main benefits are versatility and a budget-friendly price point. Bottom Line, Unisex Sweatshirts: Consider the level of warmth that you want and the how you will wear it. If you need a sweatshirt for outdoor activities or cooler weather, the Cotton Heritage M2480 is a good choice. For a more structured sweatshirt feel, coupled with a classic sweatshirt style and more budget-friendly price-point, the Gildan 18000 is a great pick.You Really Can't Go Wrong with Any of These Shirts You can't go wrong with any of the products covered here. We use them all and they are all very reliable items from top quality companies. They key is to know their slight differences and which type of product you prefer. So if faced with the option of choosing between different blank apparel options, consider factors such as fabric composition, fit, print quality and intended use. By understanding the unique features and benefits of each shirt, you can make an informed decision based on their preferences and needs. Thankfully here at 1923 Main Street, we do most of the decision-makin...

Here it Comes, the Hardest Part; the Crucible, the Choice. Feeling Forced to Choose Between? Conflicted & Confused, Put-On & Put-Upon We Feel Stressed
This week on the Girls 4 Greatness Podcast I have the pleasure of chatting with the one and only Shannon Miles. Shannon is a wife, mom, author, and co-owner of the highly successful premium staffing company, BELAY. I invite you to listen in as Shannon and I dive into the reasoning behind why Shannon and her husband, Bryan, started BELAY, as well as what it has taken for Shannon herself to discover what “having it all” meant for her. Shannon and Bryan started BELAY 10 years ago after cashing in all of their 401(k)s for start-up capital. Over the years their company has exploded to over one thousand team members, all working from home, pursuing their own idea of “having it all” while serving BELAY’s 1,400 clients. Shannon is also the author of a book called The Third Option: Why a Woman Doesn’t Have to Choose Between a Career and Family, but Can Actually Have Both and Succeed. In her book, Shannon shares how she took a leap of faith to create a flexible career that gives meaning to both her work and her family. If you are someone who has ever struggled to deal with the feelings of conflict that sometimes arise from trying to juggle family and career life, then this episode is for you. Shannon shares some beautiful insights as to just how important it is to tune in to those feelings of conflict. She shares how so often what we risk in order to live the life we really and truly want to live far outweighs the pain of regret of not having lived that life. Please be sure to connect with and follow Shannon and BELAY on Instagram under @belay_solutions and on LinkedIn under @BELAY. You can follow BELAY on Facebook as well under @BELAYSolutions. You can also learn more about BELAY by going to www.linktr.ee/BELAYSoutions.

Female Leaders | At a Crossroads As female leaders, we often reach a crossroads where it feels like we have to choose between work and family instead of following a natural path. It is an illusion that Shannon Miles knows all too well. After working towards her dream job for four years, Shannon and her husband decided to have a baby. On paper, everything looked perfect; Shannon and Bryan would continue their lives in sales with a nanny lined up to help carry the weight. But when her daughter was born, Shannon wanted to spend much more time with her new child than she anticipated—becoming a stay at home mom was never in the cards. The Third Option Shannon managed to phase out of her position and work part-time so she could spend time with her family and build financial stability simultaneously. However, what started as a temporary financial bridge turned into a more permanent solution. Shannon stayed with the company until the founding of Belay in 2010 and fought hard to achieve work-life integration. She realized there is a third option, and many female leaders need to explore it for themselves. Shannon worked harder and just as much; the only thing that changed was where she did it. But where do you go when there are no clear next steps? Shannon saw entrepreneurship as the only viable option. On-Belay Upward mobility was no longer an option for Shannon or her husband in their current jobs, but they always entertained the idea of starting a business together. Virtual staffing was a thriving niche with the potential to fill a much greater market need. So, they built a line of service and Belay was born. Shannon and Bryan founded Belay with the mantra “own not run.” From day one, they have been preparing the organization to run smoothly while they're not in the picture. Shannon and Bryan designed their business to serve the life they want to live, offering a service that enables their clients to do the same! Female leaders face many unique challenges, but there will always be a pathway to the time and financial freedom you've been searching for. About Shannon Miles Shannon Miles is an advocate for people to have a career AND the flexibility they crave to keep their priorities in a healthy order. She is the CEO and Co-founder of BELAY, a staffing company serving businesses all over the U.S. When Shannon faced an all too common, yet emotional decision to stay home with her new baby or return to a fast-paced, demanding career (that she loved), she knew that there had to be a way to have both. Shannon first asked her boss if she could work part-time from home and her boss said “no”. She resolved not to accept that initial “no” as final but rather stuck to her convictions and proposed the same plan to her boss' boss. He said ‘yes' and she began planning how to make her schedule and workplace more flexible a reality by creating what she calls “The Third Option” – having a career and a family and succeeding at both. With her personal experience as a driver, the idea evolved for an innovative staffing company where all employees and contractors work remotely from their home office. Shannon and her husband, Bryan, cashed in their 401(k)s in 2010 and founded BELAY. The company has exploded to 700+ team members, all working from home, pursuing their own Third Option while serving BELAY's 1,400+ clients. Without an office, BELAY has graced the Inc. 5000 list five times and was awarded the number one spot in Entrepreneur Magazine's Best Company Culture. Shannon's new book The Third Option: Why a Woman Doesn't Have to Choose Between a Career and Family, but Can Actually Have Both and Succeed is now available. In The Third Option, Shannon shares how she took a leap of faith to create a flexible career that gives meaning to both her work and her family, and she shows how you too can accomplish the same. Shannon is passionate about serving others and inspiring them to live fuller, richer lives. She lives with her husband Bryan, and their two children, Harper and Rainey, in Atlanta. Practicing what she preaches, they spend their days running the company from their porch in Georgia, from the mountains in Jackson Hole, or from the beaches in the panhandle of Florida.

He has written about it for years and has put all of his thoughts into his second book, Virtual Culture: The Way We Work Doesn’t Work Anymore. Bryan loves to mentor other entrepreneurs and small business owners to reach their full potential, sitting on the board of Radical Mentoring and two other organizations. Welcome to the show Bryan. Shannon Miles is a master delegator. She and her husband Bryan grew a 2 person operation into a staff of 60 corporate team members by seeing where they were the strongest and delegating the rest. They lead with trust and have a thriving business built on the premise that adults are adults and can handle their business. The pair are also visionaries on the virtual workplace. Shannon’s passion, in addition to helping others realize the freedom they receive from delegating, is to bring to light the challenges women face in the workplace. From finding the courage to ask your boss for a flexible schedule, to deciding if there is an option for you outside 100% full-time onsite office work and a 100% full-time stay at home mom. Shannon has walked the walk and is here to lead other women on the journey to find their own Third Option - which happens to be the title to her book. The Third Option: Why a Woman Doesn’t Have to Choose Between a Career and Family, but Can Actually Have Both and Succeed Bryan and Shannon Miles’ MVP player Stats: Bryan Miles Co-CEO role is building deeper networking relationships with strategic partners, guiding the COO and CFO. Shannon Miles Co-CEO role is on the operational and empowerment sides of their business. She represents Belay in the marketplace and speaks at different events. In this episode, we learn about how Tim Ferris’s book, Four-Hour Work Week brought the idea of this virtual assistants businesses to life for Bryan and Shannon. They realized no one was executing on the idea of matching virtual assistants with businesses and knew something could be improved. With Bryan’s past experience with his company using a virtual assistant, it was no brainer! Bryan and Shannon talk about their lives before their business, what they were doing, and how they started the business idea that would later grow into a team of 60 corporate team members! We get to hear their thoughts about what it’s like working together (husband and wife) and what challenges they face, how they’ve switched roles and positions in their company, how they gain wisdom and advice from mentors and savvy business people in Atlanta and how they formed a business based off of delegation, what their process is for gaining talent on their team, and what sort of vision they have for their business. Bryan shares some details about his talent pool, such as the average hourly rate, what type of hours are expected and what is expected of them and their duties.

Shannon Miles is an advocate for people to have a career AND the flexibility they crave to keep their priorities in a healthy order. She is the CEO and Co-founder of BELAY, a staffing company serving businesses all over the U.S. When Shannon faced an all too common, yet emotional decision to stay home with her new baby or return to a fast-paced, demanding career (that she loved), she knew that there had to be a way to have both. Shannon first asked her boss if she could work part-time from home and her boss said “no”. She resolved not to accept that initial “no” as final but rather stuck to her convictions and proposed the same plan to her boss' boss. He said ‘yes' and she began planning how to make her schedule and workplace more flexible a reality by creating what she calls “The Third Option” – having a career and a family and succeeding at both. With her personal experience as a driver, the idea evolved for an innovative staffing company where all employees and contractors work remotely from their home office. Shannon and her husband, Bryan, cashed in their 401(k)s in 2010 and founded BELAY. The company has exploded to 700+ team members, all working from home, pursuing their own Third Option while serving BELAY's 1,400+ clients. Without an office, BELAY has graced the Inc. 5000 list four times and was awarded the number one spot in Entrepreneur Magazine's Best Company Culture. Shannon's new book The Third Option: Why a Woman Doesn't Have to Choose Between a Career and Family, but Can Actually Have Both and Succeed is now available. In The Third Option, Shannon shares how she took a leap of faith to create a flexible career that gives meaning to both her work and her family, and she shows how you too can accomplish the same. What you'll learn about in this episode: Why Shannon feels passionate about helping people integrate their family and personal life with their successful career How Shannon managed to turn a temporary, part-time work-from-home solution into a long term answer to her struggles with balancing career and family Why a remote work solution can be ideal for certain personalities, and how the workforce is beginning to embrace work-from-home arrangements How Shannon and her husband Brian founded BELAY, how they structured the company, and why it works What benefits come from bringing outsourced contractors into your business, and what benefits the contractors see from the arrangement Why Shannon considers serving others to be the essence of her work, and how she came to be co-CEO of her company with her husband What advice Shannon would offer to a couple looking to start or go into business together Why Shannon and Brian try to remove themselves from their business as much as possible, bringing in other leaders to help run it Why Shannon and Brian focus on a family vision of someday being able to travel with their children and grandchildren How to work with BELAY, either as remote support staff or as a business looking to use BELAY for your staffing needs Additional resources: The Third Option by Shannon Miles: https://amzn.to/2IpFoAV Website: www.mythirdoption.com Website: www.belaysolutions.com

Shannon Miles is CEO & Co-Founder of BELAY, a virtual services company that supports busy leaders. She is also the author of the brand new book, The Third Option: Why a Woman Doesn’t Have to Choose Between a Career and Family, but Can Actually Have Both and Succeed. Here are the five fun nuggets from our interview: 1) To get to a yes, often times you must first go through many no's 2) Be intentional about how you spend your time 3) "No" is a complete sentence 4) There are no new ideas under the sun; however there is only ONE you (with your unique set of stories) 5) Writing a book requires that you get over your own self doubt and fear (so that you can help others).
