In my travels on the web, I ran into crookedbrook.com  I love the work that they do and I absolutely flipped for this great line on their site: “If your only concern is “how much per thousand stitches?” let’s not waste each others time. Search engine results pages are full of companies that offer “Discount Custom Embroidery” or “Custom Embroidery – No Set Up Fee”… Call them, don’t bother us. However, if you are interested in high quality custom embroidery, please call 315-733-1992 or email us to discuss your ideas.”

You have to love a company that knows what they are about and that calls a spade a spade.

Here is some background on the shop which is based in Utica, NY but sells worldwide and features extremely creative garment creation and garment decoration. Check out their  custom t-shirts and Custom Embroidery in particular, but they create and decorate everything from lab coats to costumes. 

In their own words: “Crooked Brook is a unit of the atelier division of an art studio that offers full service apparel design, pattern making, sample making, private-label small lot production, direct-to garment printing and embroidery. Since 1989, they’ve built a strong reputation of providing top-notch apparel designs, patterns, fit and production samples for many brand name catalogs and retailers, as well as wardrobe and costumes for movies, television and theater.

All Crooked Brook branded garments and accessories are proudly made to order in the U.S.A.”

Crooked Brook ships worldwide. Hours of operations are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. EST, seven days a week. Reach them at (315) 733-1992 to learn more.

I’m a big Gram Parsons fan and they definitely have captured that look among the many things they do at Crooked Brook.

We’ll just leave you with a bit of Gram here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BITiY8M_oDo and then some of Crooked Brook handiwork.
