Staycool, everyone!

Hello, again! Last time we met, I was celebrating my big 25th birthday with my very own Jockey® birthday email (still geeking out about that). Since then, a lot of amazing things have happened for me. Seeing as I work in social media, you know where I’m sharing my good news first!

At the time of my birthday blog and email campaign, I was the social media intern. I know what you’re thinking, “you were an intern and you got to do a photo shoot?” It’s still hard to believe, but I really did! Despite my title, there wasn’t ever a point when I truly felt like I was an intern.  Well, maybe there was one time…

The work environment at Jockey® is very relaxed and casual, no suits and ties or any of that uncomfortable dress attire. This is no surprise since Jockey®’s mission is “To satisfy the human need for comfort.” But, as the new guy, what did I do on my first day? I showed up in a suit. That’s right.  If getting lost on the way to the cafeteria didn’t shout “new guy,” my suit sure did. As I settled into my desk, admiring all of the new goodies Jockey® hooked me up with as a welcoming gift, my neighbor interrupted me as he peeked around the corner and smirked “nice suit.”

As much as I enjoyed being an intern, it excites me to share with you that I am now a full-time member of the Jockey® social media team (best news ever)! Now, I can officially call myself the social media guy for Jockey®. So, to all of our great followers and readers, I am looking forward to bringing you a fun and unique look at Jockey®. We have exciting plans coming up, and I would love for all of you to be a part of it. To make sure you don’t miss out, keep up with us on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Oh, and if you’re wondering about my photo — it’s a Jockey® thing!

See you on social,

Ryan

Sometimes identifying your favorite style of underwear or t-shirts can be tricky. You can probably describe the look and fit really well, “they’re blue and lacey, smooth, they fall a little bit below my belly button, and they’re a little bit cheeky.” But the minute someone asks you whether you wear Bikinis, French Cut, Hipsters or Boyshorts, you are at a loss. Don’t worry, we’ve all been there.

When you shop on Jockey.com® you will now notice a new feature that can help you solve your undie woes. Our men’s and women’s “Underwear Style Finder” lists all of our Jockey® underwear styles available and offers a roll-over feature that provides a general description of each fit. You’ll be able to determine exactly what style you are looking for and shop within that category.

We also have a new “men’s t-shirt style finder” to help you more easily find what you’re looking for. Whether you want a crew neck or v-neck, an a-shirt or long sleeve, athletic, casual or big & tall tees, finding your favorite shirt will be a breeze.

Shop on Jockey.com and see for yourself how much easier we’ve made underwear shopping for you.

As I was listening to the radio this morning, I heard the DJ’s talking about the Wisconsin State Fair.  It took me back to my swine-showing days (pig tails, boots, overalls…the whole shebang).  I always LOVED the fair: the food, the animals and, of course, the people watching.  Everything about it was great …well, almost everything.  Fair-season also meant that school was just around the corner.  My days would no longer consist of sleeping in, heading to the beach and hanging out with friends.  It was back to the classroom, loads of homework, study sessions, and sports practices.

Once I got back into the school routine, I never minded getting up and going to class.  Plus, being social was my favorite daily subject (I always got an A+!)  There was always one really stressful part about going back to school, though—back to school shopping! Backpacks, folders, pencils, notebooks and, most importantly, new clothes!  If you’re anything like me, it would have been awesome to have a personal shopper; someone that could find all the best deals, latest trends and comfortable clothes.  Well, this school year, you’re in luck! Jockey® can help knock out some of that school supply checklist, check out our back-to-school checklist and you’re sure to be at the top of your class.

Ladies’ School Supplies:
1. First, get the tools you need to succeed everyday
Stock up on new socks, fashion hosiery, trendy tanks and your favorite underwear styles.

2. Then, get geared up for gym class
We’ll have you ready for any challenge (dodge ball, volleyball, running, weightlifting…you name it!) with supportive sports bras, move-with you activewear bottoms and trendy activewear tops

3. Lastly, schedule a recess
 After a long day of class (or maybe in your world laundry, grocery shopping and cleaning), take time for yourself!  Slip into any of our soft sleep bottoms, lightweight sleep tops or fashionable sleep shirts and chemises.  You’ll sleep sound and wake up ready to take on your day.

Guys’ School Supplies:
1. Start your day with the basics
Get your favorite t-shirt and underwear styles to have you feeling great and ready to take on any test.

2. Then, show the coach your head is in the game
Gear up with Jockey® sportswear so you can perform your best.  Breathable and moisture wicking fabrics will help you keep you cool (so you can be the star!). 

3. Finish your work in comfortable Jockey® style
Sometimes your day doesn’t end after the last bell rings.  While you’re doing your homework, kick-back with a relaxed t-shirt, a cozy pair of sleep pants or a lightweight pair of boxers.

Our back-to-school supply list isn’t too demanding, but it’ll sure put a hop in your step every day!
