Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our customers had to say about our best-selling Puremeso Henleys.      "Love everything about these Henleys. Great for working around the property, running errands, going out or staying in. Very comfortable and durable. These guys are right, you'll want to wear their gear everyday."  Rich S.  Verified Buyer         "I ordered a few long sleeve Puremeso Henleys for the fall and they are by far the most comfortable long sleeve shirts I have owned. They are made with great material and have a good selection of colors. Very...

Hats For Your Normal

Hats For Your Normal

The Normal Brand @ 2017-10-16 16:06:02 -0500

We get told time and time again, "People always ask where I got this hat." And we really love hearing that.          Basement Startup  We started making hats in our parents' basement. Thank god our parents and siblings helped us box and ship these late at night, or this company never would have launched.     The Original  This is our first. It was designed by Jimmy for Jimmy, but people kept asking him about it - so we made more.        The University Bear  We designed this logo for a more collegiate look.        The Dano ...

Behind the Scenes

See how our Fall campaign came together. It was definitely a crazy, good time.    Chicago    We choose to shoot part of our Fall campaign in Chicago to show versatility and branch out a little from home base.        No rain on our parade. Our spirits were still high even when it started to rain when we were shooting some street shots.     Uncle Doug's Farm    We also wanted a place where we could just chill and be ourselves, and our Uncle's farm did just that.       We thought we were going to keep our...

Vests are an everyday essential for the guy who values versatility above all. They can take the place of light to mid-weight jackets with sacrificing warmth. We have a few vest options this season. Throw on and Go  On one side you get a one color polyester shell with a cotton twill yoke for contrast. Turn it inside out and you have a two color, brushed wool option for a more rugged look. You decide how to wear it.  Lincoln Sherpa Lined Vest  Inspired by military outerwear, this quilted piece is lined with a plush multicolored sherpa that adds a...

"This collection is about giving people what they've been asking for." - Jimmy                See a behind the scenes look at how we approached this season (we think its our best yet).    All About Fit  We heard from you that some of the pieces were too tight, so we decided to fix it. Our styles will still follow a slightly fitted block, but if you're a medium in most other brands, you're a medium in The Normal Brand.     "I've been bossing Jimmy, Conrad, and Lan around since I was 10 years old....

What is Puremeso?

What is Puremeso?

Kenzie Chin @ 2017-09-06 11:55:49 -0500

You've asked and now we are answering. Find out what makes our Puremeso products so special.  Well first of all - its a word we made up. It's pronounced PURE-MASE-OH. Our dad still sometimes calls it PUR-MESSO which is really tough.  What's It Made Of?  It's an unbelievably soft fabric or ribbed cotton + poly + stretch + amazing washes.  How's the Fit?  We heard from you and you wanted a bit more ease through the waist. These shirts fit true to size.  We are really pumped and proud of how these styles came together and can't wait for you...

A Father's Day Conversation    Fathers and sons have a very special bond. We grew up wanting to be like our dad, and still try to be like him on a daily basis. Luckily, we grew up with close relationships with our grandpas too, so we were surrounded by our heroes. These men taught us to look a man in the eye, open a door for a lady, take your hat off at the dinner table, work hard – no matter what, believe in yourself when no one else does, and many other things. They passed down their love us...

Christie Calhoon @ 2016-11-03 19:46:07 -0500

Sammysoap is a job creation machine for adults with intellectual disabilities disguised as the world's best soap company. We had the opportunity to meet Karen, her son Sam and the entire Sammy Soap team to learn more about how they're Redefining their Normal.   About the Series: We make and sell clothing - that’s what we do. But the reason is much deeper. We thought that the status quo wasn’t good enough, and that people deserved a better Normal. So we set out to redefine what was considered Normal in apparel. Our company has allowed us to meet some incredible...

Normal Feels Better - Our Story

The Normal Brand @ 2016-09-15 10:57:59 -0500

As guys from the Midwest, our Normal has always been between the city and the country. Our family of 7 brothers and 3 sisters grew up in the city but escaped to the outdoors every weekend or day off. We hunted, fished, spent nights around the fire and days at the lake, but still lived in, worked in, and loved the hustle of a city.This whole thing started because we couldn't find a shirt that would hold up to our lifestyle. We needed a brand that made sense to us — to our day-to-day. We wanted a Normal shirt.To do...
