Tips
for getting the MOST from your Bowling Shirts!
Because
our shirts are made of polyester or blended polyester/cotton fabric,
it's possible you'll never need to iron them, if you pull
them out of the dryer when finished. With my own bowling shirts, I've
never had to iron them if I do this. If
you do accidentally leave them in the dryer for a while after the cycle,
use a low to medium iron setting to press the wrinkles out.
You'll
notice that the colors will stay as bright (or dark) like new for a
very long time, even through dozens of washings! Our bowling shirts
make great 'walking around' shirts, not just at the lanes.
About
B-R-S.com
This webstore
you're currently taking in began in October 2005, but the story goes back
further than that.
The owner,
Donald Garber, initially became intrigued with online sales thanks to
his lovely bride. She purchased a little ol' Burberry checkbook cover
from a thrift store in early 2000 for two dollars. A few months later,
she decided she didn't need it, and put it up for sale on eBay. The auction
ended and the checkbook cover sold for over $165. This was the catalyst.
 For
two years, the Garbers visited thrift stores regularly, searching for
treasures among the donations. A full-time business began on eBay. Hundreds
upon hundreds of parcels were shipped throughout the US and around the
world. But sifting through thrift stores, photographing every item, creating
individual item auctions took a lot of work.
Donald kept
up selling on eBay, and after many niches, decided that men's clothing
(casual and not-so-casual) was where his interests lay. For a time, Tommy
Bahama and Ralph Lauren were labels he sold exclusively. In 2005, Don
partnered up with a manufacturer of beautiful bowling style shirts. These
retro shirts were immediate hits on eBay, and for a good year, sales were
brisk. Leaving the comfortable, predictable, yet narrow confines of eBay,
Don opened up bowling-rockabilly-shirts.com in the cool fall days of 2005.
Don is proud
to offer only American-made clothing. In this day and age, it seems
that everything is made overseas. The only people who seem to profit from
Made In China are the manufacturing company executives, and that's not
right. Made in America goods may cost a tad more, but bowling-rockabilly-shirt
customers can know that they help American workers earn a living.
What's in
the future? "I'd like to expand to cover more retro-themed topics.
Sure, buying retro items is cool but nostalgia in general, not just hard
goods, is a really fun topic to be involved in."
"My
favorite shirt is the Black Shoopster. Love
the vertical, asymmetrical striping style. My second favorite is the Retro
60's shirt in dark green. I also have a Retro
Atomic shirt in my own closet."
Bowling Shirts
have timeless appeal. We've been wearing bowling shirts for decades, and
they've never been more popular than now.
Why?
Bowling Shirts
are flattering to any body type. Skinny guys and chubby guys alike look
masculine and strong wearing a great rockabilly shirt.
Vertical stripe
themes help make us look proud and tall.
Bright bold colors coordinate perfectly with neutral base panels. They
give our skin and face color and freshness.
Their style pulls our memories back to a less complicated, more pure
time in history. Rock and roll, dancing, hot rods, new love.
They're cool.

Q:
Are your shirts REALLY made in the USA?
Yes, really! No,
honest, I'm not kidding. It can be done! Los Angeles, California, to
be exact. They have been since 1993. Started manufacturing twill work/casual
shirts and branched into making bowling style shirts not too long after.
(We can also provide you with work "wearables" in any quantity, in a
dizzying array of colors, short sleeve or long sleeve. Heavy weight
cotton twill fabric.)
