Item of the Week: Ichiban Sweats

By: Karen Alberg Grossman

June 03, 2009

New from Ichiban, the coolest sweats we’ve seen. Made from 11.5 ounce French terry, this super-comfortable sportswear features original Asian artwork. Wholesale prices are $59 for hooded sweatshirts, $38 for pull-on pants and $24.50 for clear finish T-shirts. According to West Coast rep Larry Hymes, they’ve just started to deliver, retailers are thrilled with the quality, and it’s already checking in top stores. For more info: Lnhinc@aol.com.

Each week, MR’s editors will comment on a product we’ve seen in the market. It could be an emerging trend, a novel take on a classic or something that just caught our eyes.
