Closing Remarks:
It has been a pleasure and an adventure to operate Robert Redd. The names above have all played a part in the ideation, conceptualization, initiation, launch, growth and operations of Robert Redd.
Robert Redd was made possible due to the contributions and influences by the individuals named above (and some I am sure I have forgotten to list – for that I apologize).
Thank you for your support, your time, your efforts and your belief in Robert Redd at one time or another. From this day forward, Robert Redd, LLC will be closed. The company will no longer operate and the shirts are gone. However, Robert Redd's legend will live on and perhaps, one day, another incarnation of Robert Redd will return.
Warmly and with my sincere gratitude I say goodbye and Godspeed.
Respectfully,
Robert R. Matheson
Founder
Here’s to you ALL with future adventures in mind. . .

If there is one thing we get excited about here at REDD its color. If you own any of our fine knits or our quality water color prints, you know color is the glue that binds us. Color is what REDD is about and Easter eggs are all about decoration and color!
The decoration and coloring of Easter eggs to further enhance their value became an art form centuries ago and continues today. Dyes made from vegetables, edible flowers, fruits, coffee, tea, leaves, bark, and roots were used to tint the eggs.
Note: If you are adding your own artistic color to eggs, always be certain you use food-safe dyes when there is a chance the eggs may later be eaten.
 Here are a few of the different ways eggs have been and are decorated and colored:
• Etched: Traced back to Macedonia, this process involves dying the egg, applying a layer of wax in a design, then bleaching off the color leaving only the wax-covered areas with color.
• Krashanky: The Ukrainian word means color, and these eggs are dyed a solid, brilliant color, often REDD to symbolize the bloodshed by Christ on the cross.
• Pysanky: The term comes from the word pysaty, meaning to write, and this describes how the egg is decorated. Intricate designs are drawn in wax on the eggs, a process closely related to batik. The eggs are then dyed many colors. Ukrainian artisans are famous for their pysanky.
• Fabergé: Probably some of the most famous and most expensive Easter eggs known are those created by Russian jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé in the 1800's. The eggs were made of gold, silver and jewels and most opened up to reveal exquisite tiny figures of people, animals, plants or buildings. A total of 57 eggs were made. These are obviously museum artifacts of high value.
• Binsegraas: The Pennsylvania Dutch traditionally wrapped the pith of the binsegraas, a type of rush, in coils which were glued to eggs. Then interestingly-shaped scraps of calico cloth were pasted on the egg. The Polish use colorful rug yarn formed into elaborately-designed coils, although they, too, originally used rushes.
• Jeweled: Designs are created by gluing any manner of sequins, beads, flowers, etc., onto blown eggs.
• Cut-Out or Carved: Blown eggs are used also for these creations where a portion of the shell is cut away. The exterior is decorated, and the inside filled with a little scene to be viewed through the cut-out section. These can be exquisitely elaborate.
• Calico or Madras: Eggs were wrapped in calico or madras cloth and then boiled. The water released the dyes from the cloth and transferred to the egg. Since most modern cloth is colorfast, these are rarely made nowadays. This type of egg is not to be eaten, due to the danger of the dyes.
No matter the style of egg enhancement you choose touse this Easter, make sure you are doing this with the whole family, as even the littlest of artists are sure to enjoy the fun!

While March Madness is
technically already underway with the new first round coming to a close
tonight, we all know that tomorrow is the REAL kick-off. It’s officially time
to get out your brackets and let the games begin.
There are bracket
pools out there from every sports site known to man (and woman). But in case
you are running behind and haven't gotten your fill from the three office
pools, two neighborhood pools, and one family pool you are already in, here are
a couple of options:
ESPN Tournament Challenge
CSB Sports.com
Who do you think will
take the crown? Post your national champion pick as a comment below. We
will give away one shirt to a randomly selected person who chooses correctly.
And remember, tomorrow is also St. Patrick's Day. Make sure to wear your Green
REDD so you don't get pinched -- because what could possibly be more awkward
than getting pinched while cheering on your great upset pick?
Good luck ‘o the Irish
to you!

In the midst of all of the emails, tweets, texts and wall posts of
today’s electronic world, I ask you: Is the handwritten note dead?
If you answered “yes,” I will inquire further:
Why?
We may argue that today’s world is too fast-paced and that “snail mail”
is too slow. But I wonder if these are excuses. True, there are times that
necessitate rapid responses from the recipient and require us to take advantage
of speedier ways of communication. At the same time, I contend that there are a
few times that always call for a handwritten note, no matter how busy we may
be.
Life
is not so short but that
there
is always time enough
for
courtesy.
-
Ralph Waldo Emerson
1. Expressing Gratitude
Both ladies and gentleman should use handwritten notes to express
gratitude. In addition to thanking people for gifts, handwritten notes should
be used in business to thank people for their time. I had a professor in
graduate school argue that the handwritten note is actually a sign of a
successful businessperson: No matter how “important” you may become, there’s
always time to write a note.
2. Communicating Sympathy & Condolences
We should also use note cards to communicate sympathy and condolences.
In these situations, a handwritten note indicates that the recipient is
sincerely in your thoughts – enough for you to take the time to sit down and
write it down on paper.
So, yes, a handwritten note may take longer to get there. But along with
the "memo," the recipient receives a momento. Your handwriting
automatically makes the message more personalized.
Similarly, your choice in stationery design and paper quality is another
way to express yourself in a tangible way.
Redd carries premium stationery cards.
I also recommend Crane Paper and
Caspari
When was the last time you wrote a personal note? When did you last
receive one?

For most of the US, tonight marks the night where we move
our clocks forward one hour and begin Daylight Savings Time. Some grumble
(yours truly included), saying we are losing an hour of sleep. On the other
hand we should take this as a mark able opportunity to get a jumpstart on
spring.
Several things are advised you do this weekend in preparation
of the spring (checking your smoke alarm), but I am going to give you a
piece of advice for springing your wardrobe into the warmer months of the year.
This is something Robert Redd knows a thing or two about… we do make short
sleeve knits!
So, you took advantage of our Early Spring Sale (if not,
don’t worry there are still a few days left), and now you need some pants to go with that Antiguan Blue/GG Green
Murdoch that just arrived in the mail.
Well here are a couple of suggestions for you:
Bonobos - At their core a true trouser company. Many styles for every occasion. A pair of Easter Island Chinos are the perfect all cotton pairing to your REDD shirt.
Bills Khakis – A great selection of various weights. For the spring I suggest the Leightweight
Cotton Poplins
Mountain Khakis - More option and Colors. For spring try the M's Lake Lodge Twill Pant. They have a
women’s and kid’s line as well.
Keep in mind, these two suggestions are merely my opinion and you know
what they say about opinions…
Speaking of opinions, I would love to read about your favorite bottoms to
go with our tops! Leave your comments
below.
