Arsenic’s BLACK Friday is a little different. A week early (released Nov 19) and lots of black clothing will be available for the weeks to follow. Dan’s prices definitely factor in the small scale runs and unique product, but the quality and thoughtfulness of each product is always worth the price.

Need a stocking stuffer, office Secret Santa gift, or something for your cousin Jimmy who goes on ski trips to Colorado? Buff has become synonymous with face tubes, and neck warmers for as long as I can remember. Cop the Original Ecostretch, or opt for a warmer option such as their Polar Fleece, or Merino Wool Buffs.
