Be Inspired and Seer Clothing (Kyle Korver)

We went anyhow, just because we were in the area. That is a nifty looking store, I must say. I'd say you need a bigger sign, but those buggers are expensive -- I know. Anyhow, I left a love note in your door, I hope nobody steals it. Also, you left your "OPEN" sign on.
Glad you took a look. I really like how it's come along so far considering we're only a month in. We ordered a neon sign a couple of weeks ago but it takes quite a while to be made and delivered so I'm guessing to expect in the next month and we're also working on getting a sign in one of the slots on the big Reams sign out by the street. This love letter better deliver, I expect great things. The sign is off, it just always looks like it's on. Kind of annoying. Anyway, as I said before I should be there Monday and I'll post to let everyone know what other days I'll be there this week then.
Also, I don't know if any of you or anybody you know like to knit, crochet, or any of that other fun yarn stuff (I don't know my terminology) but we also own the yarn shop next door to Be Inspired called Unwind. We've had that one for about three years now. We sell all kinds of different yarns, needles, books, etc as well as offer classes. Aside from remodeling the shop to what it is today, I'm not nearly as involved with that side. My mom primarily runs that one. Anyway, it's a pretty chill place. On any given night there's 5-10 ladies (sometimes a husband, son or two) will sit around, knit/crochet, talk, and have finger foods, coffee, and tea. Although it's not really my forte, I think it's a pretty cool place that has established itself nicely.

Do you guys make your own shirts, Dtol?
No, we don't have our own shirt brand yet but I wouldn't mind looking into it in the future. However, we do have our own jewelry and have made a few pieces of furniture . We have three different brands of shirts though and all of them do the printing. One is Kyle, who created the designs and has a buddy that does the printing. Another is Danka Clothing, and Brian, the founder, does all of the printing. And the last is Dyad, which is a friend of mine from high school that does all of his printing and just changed his apparel provider to a guy who makes much softer, more comfortable shirts. I haven't felt his new shirts yet but I believe he's working with the same guy that Danka works with and his shirts are incredibly soft so I look forward to it. As I said before, all of Kyle's shirts vary a little bit but all of the ones that I've tried on (all but one) are very comfortable, there are just some more than others.
Over 90% of all the product is made and manufactured right here in Utah. We have some designer sunglasses that are obviously made elsewhere, we have the shirts by Seer Clothing that are made in California but the print is done here in the valley and both Danka and Dyad's shirts are woven in Idaho by a guy from Sugarhouse but are the screen printing is done here by their respective founders, and then a few of the antiques and furniture pieces by one of our artist's was made in Colorado when she lived there but she now lives and makes her pieces here in Sandy. Everything else we have was HAND MADE by the artists in Utah. No machines, no warehouses, no corporations. It's hand painted, carved, sculpted, sewn, built and created right here. Our product is legit and you can see that quality in every unique piece. These are people who participate in local art shows, represent themselves instead of having some intern sent to do all their errands, and pride themselves in making one of a kind pieces for the people of Utah.
aw, don't be so hard on yourself...
it's the thought that counts, at least you cared enough to send something (even though it was less than the very best)
and good luck with your store Dtol, sounds like a nice little gig your family has going on there
I'm here but see no note. How disappointing...Anyway, anyone is welcome to come check it out today. I'm just getting all of Kyle's stuff tagged so you're good to look at, try on, purchase or do whatever you want with them.
...On second thought, maybe just stick with the first three options.
Thanks Moe!
I found the note! I got butterflies. Somebody took it down and stashed it behind the register.
Kyle's shirts have been selling like crazy. We were completely empty on all of the more common sizes last week but we just got completely restocked. We also got a brand new guys shirt in and it's been a buyer favorite for sure. One member from here has already bought eight shirts for personal use and as gifts. People need to come check them out before we run out again. You know you want to.
