Question where can I buy brown sheets, towels, blankets, tshirts?

For some reason, not many people sell these colors...I have a few ideas but maybe yours will help...

My husband tells me Bust The Move quality of clothes are bad. They have brown T shirts, but I have not seen them anywhere else...

Mrs G my experience with Bust The Move has been excellent
they carry brand name clothes at different price levels and
They have the largest selection of clothing of any of the catalogues

Mrs G
I am looking at their catalogue -- in T shirts they have
Hanes, Gildan, Jerzees, Augusta, Anvil some are 100%cotton some are 50/50
cotton,polyester with and without pockets some are heavy weight some are lighter weight-- the weights are listed
you mentioned brown t shirts the only brown Tees I see are in a military style
I believe military style are a lighter weight
they have brown sweats in A4-Wilson these are heavy weight and I have seen them they are very nice ($18.95 for a hoodie and $14.95 for pocket pants)
I just noticed a number of Tees in Khaki and one in Chestnut
you need to see this selection in Tees- white, forrest- Maroon -Purple -Red- Mustard Gold- Eggplant -Natural -Kelly- Cardinal- Moss -Brick - Khaki -tan -olive- poppy -hemp putty -celery- plum -willow-chestnut
also my experience with them is if you are not satisfied they will refund your money
quickly

Always eager to hear about a new vendor (new to me anyway). I doubt they have a website, as most of them don't. So could someone give me the #? Thanks, Lisa

Hi, do you live in NYC? There is a store around my job called Century 21, They sometimes carry brown towels and sheets. If you like, I got to go there this week and I can see if they have them and price them. Brown is a hard color to find, I know cause that was a color my man wanted. I'm having trouble finding brown sweats.

Tito had asked me for a brown suit for his B-day last year and i looked everywhere!!! he ended up getting it from Bust a move and didnt have any complaints. then of course after he finds it, i saw brown everywhere that i forgot to look. like the beauty supply stores that carry clothes and what not.

Does everything have to be brown or is this the color he prefer?

well there are such few colors they are allowed to have...in sheets, he wants a dark color so they dont get dirty and dingy fast, and he is sick of burgundy over so many years you know....and what else is there that they are allowed in sheets or towels, not much.

I understand about wanting to get the dark color because they don't get dirty and dingy fast. I have sent a lighter color green before and it wasn't a problem.
