Tucker Blair Guest Blogger
I am today’s guest blogger over at Tucker Blair. Head over there to check out the product line, but here’s my post.
Before I get started I’d just like to say thank you to Taylor for the invitation to guest blog. I’m not really sure what to say or do, so I figure I’ll just let my fingers go and see where I end up, just like I do daily at my personal site, www.joshpremuda.com.
I had all sorts of ambitions to write up a “belts and booze” post similar to The Trad and his Friday weekly. I mean, Tucker Blair is kind of perfect for that, no? That sounded like more fun than it is. I don’t have stories as interesting as The Trad. So here’s my belt and booze: I’d opt for the Golf Scene with a Southern Comfort Barn Burner to take the nip out of the winter air.
Now, Tucker Blair. While I like the products, I think the more interesting thing I’ve enjoyed is watching the product line grow from afar. I’ve known about Tucker Blair for well over a year and through that time I’ve kept an eye on the progress of the company. And, I’ve been impressed. Through the use of Twitter, Facebook and this blog, Tucker Blair has grown quite a following. The part that has impressed me the most is the growth of the product lines. What started out as needlepoint belts has progressed to keyfobs, flip-flops and now polo shirts. All of this has (from my viewing area) been very controlled and well thought out. And, I believe this is evidenced through a phenomenal write-up from New York Magazine and Acquire Magazine.
Job well done, sir. Now, if you’ll allow me a quick moment to share a Tucker Blair-ish related story…
I’ve spent my Christmas vacation in San Francisco working with On the Fly. The other morning as I was thinking about this post – I’m a few days late submitting it (sorry!) – Brett from Forgetful Gentleman walked in. As we got to speaking, it dawned on me that just the other day I saw a reference to their paper offerings on the Tucker Blair Twitter stream. Brett had a few of their things with him and from my quick preview, I think they are on to something. Great idea guys. If I can use this post to recommend something from them, I suggest the Little Blue Book.
With all that, I’m not sure I did what I was supposed to as a guest blogger, but I tried. If you’re a fan of the Tucker Blair logo, might I suggest that you get a look at this Mallard Poster. I suggest we chip in to buy it for Taylor. He’s worked pretty hard this year, and I am expecting more in 2010.
