Gifts for fencers

[fencersmom]

My husband and daughter both began fencing last November. They are both really loving the sport. Are there any companies who make cute fencing "stuff" -- I'm thinking of jewelry, T-shirts and things like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated - I know I'm early but Christmas will come again! Please feel free to e-mail me with any ideas - sometimes I forget to check back on the message board.

Thanks!

Among others, theres <a href="http://www.proprintwear.com/" target="_blank">http://www.proprintwear.com/</a>
They're the official merchandiser of the USFA. Just click products, and go from there.
There's also <a href="http://www.bigforourbritches.com/" target="_blank">http://www.bigforourbritches.com/</a>
Which is mostly T-shirts.
There's another one too that I cant think of. That should be good to get you started tho.
Good luck.

Almost all fo the various fencing equipment suppliers have a Tshirt section of some kind.
TCA sells some really nice ones. As does American Fencing in SF.

Try <a href="http://www.fencingwear.com" target="_blank">www.fencingwear.com</a> If not that, then most of the major ones are on the USFA website at <a href="http://www.usfencing.org" target="_blank">www.usfencing.org</a>

I wonder, do any of the suppliers have gift certificates? For me, a T-shirt would be nice, but it'd be really great if I could get some new equipment. However, no one in my family knows anything about fencing, besides what I've told them, so they don't really know what to buy and it sort of takes the fun out of the gift if you all ready know what you're getting. Although not always.

I'd check out pro-print wear or big for our britches, though if you want t-shirts and that sort of thing. IMHO theirs are better than the ones that the fencing suppliers sell.

My latest quote was for 50 shirts at 6.50 each. That was with a design on the front and back. One color on the front and two on the back.

Fencepbt.com has some cool stuff in their boutique section.

Thanks for the mention!

Just an FYI: if you want a variety of shirts (long sleeve, baby doll, tank, sweatshirts, etc) I always carry those as well as mugs, tote bags, coaster tiles and a few other things.

Then seasonally I get other items too (ex: Summer items: metal travel mugs, lunch coolers, polo shirts, license plate frames, frosted mugs, clocks, and aprons).
