Giltee MKE

Let me spare you the long version here. At this point I think you all know some of our favorite posts involve introducing you to Milwaukee based businesses that we love. We have recently put our thumb on what our true niche is. Obviously, our blog is based around tall fashion, support, and anything else tall related but an easy second is all things Milwaukee. We love this city and we love the small businesses it has birthed. We hope this has become clear by this point and that you enjoy learning about our small-Waukee as well.

This brings me to introduce you to Giltee MKE. This company is owned by Adam and Lisa Gilson and has always been a family project for them. Literally, a project – Adam started teaching himself to screen print in the basement of their home which quickly grew to something larger. The perfectionist in each of them came out and led to obsessing over the details including only printing on high-quality apparel. 

Like any great product, people will always start to notice. Especially as they see you casually modeling and marketing it by way of your body. So sort of by mistake they started selling to family, friends, co-workers and so on, which is how they are now reaching you by way of us.

Not only do they only use premium apparel, they take pride in only making unique designs. The products use symbols and artwork to represent each and every one of you (us) and our roots. We appreciate this more than you know. There are so many companies out there who take others designs and rip off their hard work just to turn a profit. We take comfort in knowing that all of the small businesses we choose to share are authentic. Honestly, are any of you surprised we were drawn to this company based on all of the above? We didn’t think so. Everything they stand for is right up our alley and we couldn’t be more proud and excited to be sharing it with you today. 

Let’s cruise through the details first, shall we? You can purchase their goods on their website here, at local shops and retailers that are listed here, and at other pop-ups which you can follow through their Instagram here. A huge perk for you right now is that they have free shipping ALL SUMMER!! That is incredible! This isn’t information from them, but from our knowledge companies usually take a loss by offering free shipping rather than discounted goods so this is so generous of Giltee. 

The products you see each of us in here are INCREDIBLE. We can 100% confirm that these textiles are of the highest quality. This Wisconsin Native sweatshirt is the softest most comfortable hoodie and we cannot explain how thankful we are for the generous fit. Often times you find women’s hoodies that are too short, tight, or just teeny tiny but not this one. It is a true to size item that will flatter any size, shape, or form. This design also comes in a T-shirt and tank top form in a number of beautiful colors and combos.

The “Have a Happy Milwaukee, WI” Tee is another item where you aren’t going to have to worry about sizing snafus if you aren’t a small to average size woman. It runs true to size even for us tall gals and per the norm, the quality is top notch. This shirt is also extremely soft and it isn’t see through at all.

We have been having a blast wearing any Giltee gear out and about in the Milwaukee area. Every single time we have seen someone else in their garb too. I was at my local grocery store last week and saw someone in the Women’s Aurora Hooded Pullover! You know I had to comment on it. I love it when opportunities like this are handed to me. It is just one of the many things that make our big city feel small. The people here are friendly, supportive of small businesses and love to display their hometown pride. This will always help us bond even more. 

We hope you loved learning about this company as much as we loved sharing it with you. Can’t wait to see more and more of you in Giltee apparel! With that, I wish you a Happy Monday! I hope you are all surviving the sadness of a holiday weekend hangover.
