The team at Title Nine has many players — and many coaches. Our own athletic and personal lives have been shaped and influenced by coaches we’ve had, making the decision to embark on the same path an important one. We look up to those who lead the way for us: it’s time for us to lead the way for the next generation.

It’s no secret that here at Title Nine we believe in working hard and playing even harder. Every winter, the company challenge for the coming year is announced. We’ve tackled century rides, a Ragnar Relay, a Vineman Sprint Triathlon, and last year took on Tough Mudder.
This year, we decided it was time to do something different, really different: we built an event for T9ers, by T9ers, to take on teams of – you guessed it – more T9ers.
And thus, in September 2013, the first ever T9 Challenge was born.
And now, as the dust settles, we can say that it was a great success!

Our model, Caitlin, shows us how to tie a bowline knot, you never know when this could come in handy! 😉
Back in March, we had a fantastic drawing sent to us by an 11-year old customer named Margaret. She loves our clothing, and wishes we would make her a comfortable set of overalls made of Samba fabric. We wanted to give her an idea of what it would look like if it became an actual garment, so we took her drawing and gave it life! We had one of our designers turn her idea into a “reality” and gave it legs!
Below is her letter, and click “read more” to see what we turned it into!
