Tuckerman Journal

We’ve put together a short list of items from companies who not only make great products but who are also doing things the right way. So give a gift this season that says a little something extra.

We spoke with B Lab, the organization that certifies B Corps, about what it means to be a Best For the World Honoree and and how we build purpose into our operations. 

We had a great time talking with The Manufacturing Report about how we're aiming to contribute to "Buy Less, Buy Better" movement by partnering with one of America's historic dress shirt factories.

You can listen to the full episode below. 

Thank you! Your support has helped make us Best for Governance: one of the companies making the most positive impact among BCorps.

One-quarter of clothes’ carbon footprint comes from how we care for them. That’s good news because not only can proper care make our clothes last longer (and look sharper!), but it can also reduce their overall environmental impact. 

When President Trump announced that the US will withdraw from the Paris climate accord we felt that we had an obligation to take a stance. That is why we signed the We Are Still In alternative agreement which states that we will continue to support climate action to meet the Paris agreement. Now, more than ever, is the time to stand up for our future and work to avert the looming climate crisis.

You’re a super stylish guy. Your clothes all fit perfectly and you never get your colors wrong. You know that, and so do we! But your friend… well… let’s just say he’s not the best dresser and his clothes never seem to fit just right. Don’t worry, we’ve got your back. That’s why we put together this guide on how to help your friend find a great fitting dress shirt.

In the wake of our recent cartoon, we’ve fielded a consistent question: “Hey, neat cartoon! Who did that for you guys?” The answer: we actually did it ourselves. And fear not, dear reader, you too can be an amateur (and enthusiastic) cartoonist. In fact, in the spirit of paying it forward we thought we’d share a few tips for embracing your inner creative.

We had so much fun hosting our friends from DoneGood at the factory! We learned more about DoneGood, gave them a tour, and shared with them how our shirts are made. They created an awesome video with highlights of the day. 

It would have been amazing if there were a guide to becoming a Certified B Corporation when we started Tuckerman. And now there is! Our friends at The Yale Center for Business and the Environment and Patagonia have put together a fantastic guide for entrepreneurs considering B certification and/or incorporation.

Pantone has announced the color of 2017--and while we're excited to see our signature green thread on Pantone's website, even more energizing is how Pantone ascribed the pursuit of personal passions and a larger purpose.

We’re celebrating Small Business Saturday at the Made in New Haven holiday market hosted by Fletcher Cameron Design. Kick off the holiday season with a gift from Tuckerman.
