Custom Merchandise · Proposal

Merch your members wear out of the sauna and into the rest of their lives.

An organic, no-synthetics merchandise program for Vital Ice — sauna and plunge apparel and accessories, designed, sourced, decorated with the VI mark, and delivered by SEWN.

Built for heat & cold

Every piece spec'd in organic cotton, wool, or natural canvas — no synthetics against the skin in the sauna or the plunge. Exactly the brief Sean set.

On-site, then online

Start with a bulk run for the floor at Chestnut St, then a website that lives alongside it for one-off and repeat orders. Two models below.

One mark, done right

The VI mark embroidered or printed in one location per piece. Clean, quiet, premium — matching the brand you've already built.

The Collection

Mockups — the full lineup

Concept renders with the VI mark placed. Final colorways, placement, and decoration method confirmed at sampling. Core pieces (tee, sweatshirt, dad hat) ship from preferred heavyweight-organic stock; sauna hat and shorts are sourced to spec.

Two Ways To Start

Pick the model that fits your launch

Larger bulk orders give you the best per-unit cost and merch on the floor day one. Or beta-test a small run first to see what your members reach for before committing. Either works — mix freely.

Included Value-Add

We'll build Vital Ice its own online store

The on-site run handles the floor at Chestnut St. As part of this partnership, SEWN builds and hosts a branded Vital Ice storefront alongside it — so members who don't grab merch in person, or want a second piece, can buy your gear online through us anytime. We run the store, fulfillment, and restocks; you keep the brand and the margin. No extra setup cost.

Branded Vital Ice storefrontYour logo, your palette, the full collection — a clean drop page that matches the brand.
Zero ops on your sideSEWN runs print-on-demand and bulk fulfillment, payments, and shipping. No inventory risk for you.
Always-on revenueOne-off and repeat orders flow in between bulk runs — the merch keeps selling after opening week.

Included with the partnership — no setup fee. A live preview store is already built; final version ships at launch.

Line-Item Pricing

Per-unit cost, every piece

All prices include decoration (embroidery or print) of the VI mark, one location. Volume tiers apply automatically by quantity. Retail column shows comparable drop pricing — your wholesale rate sits well below it, leaving healthy margin for on-floor and online sales.

You have demand already. Sean noted members are asking for merch. Fastest path: lock the core 4 (sweatshirt, tee, dad hat, tote) from preferred organic stock — those can move now. Sauna hat and shorts source to spec on a slightly longer runway. Send logo files + colorway sign-off and we turn samples within a week.

What's included

Logo digitizing & print setup, one-location decoration per piece, full size runs, production management, and consolidated freight to a single ship-to (Chestnut St). All materials organic / natural — no synthetics, per your brief.

One-time & options

Setup / digitizing: ~$300 one-time across the program (waived on orders over $10K). Pre-production samples: $25/item, credited back on approval. Companion webstore for one-off / repeat orders quoted alongside — happy to build it.
