Native Threads - Out of Business

Paul G · 09-23-2006, 05:06 PM

We just heard at Morongo that Native Threads is going out of business.

Anyone have any info on this?

I had heard at one point they were selling millions of dollars worth of shirts.

I'm a wholesaler and haven't heard anything...... I haven't done any transactions lately but still haven't heard. I called the phone number and it was busy for who knows how long..... I'll keep trying.

Thats too bad. Their stuff was too overpriced for me and my family. Maybe they spent too much on advertisement?

Yea I really like their stuff the best. It was the most professional looking. O well.... guess I'll have to buy rezdog stuff for Christmas now! lol

It might have been pricey, but it was good quality. I did'nt mind spending money on them... DANG! That's a real shame... probably all the knock offs underselling them.

Maybe they ORDERED millions of dollars worth of shirts and didnt sell them?

I had one, it was nice, lost it.

Its hard to keep a specialized business going. There is a business near me that just openned and sells Brazil related items like soccer shirts and flags. They got a small business loan and a bunch of money from the state, I give them less than a year. How many shirts and flags do you need? Waste of taxpayers money.

Man, thier stuff was pricey....But I liked the catelog, just to wish on....LOL

yeah nice stuff there. kinda pricey which set them up for the other companies to undercut them. theyll be back though. when id order from the catalog alot of times they were out of stock or something crazy like that. that probably contributed to it.

They had quality stuff so I didn't mind the prices as much. I have a shirt and beanie that have been washed seven ways from sunday and they look just as good as when I first bought em.

Hopefully things will work out so they can start up again...

I had tried to get to their catalog for some time without any luck. It is a bummer if they are going out of business as I liked their shirts. Usually had to wait until they went on sale, but that's ok too. Hopefully they will be back.
