Stoneham, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/27/2014 -- Osmium, a Boston based men's clothing company decided that the tradition of a Memorial Day sale needed an upgrade. Rather than a regular Memorial Day sale, they created a sale to benefit members and veterans of the armed services; a population that they believe deserves our honor and respect. When service members email Osmium (info@osmium.com) with their branch and dates of service, they receive a special 50% site wide discount.

While the general public has been offered a 30% discount on spring items, the combination of discounts for the armed forces can add up to 65% on certain items.

All Osmium garments and accessories are built to last in the USA. Osmium founder Mark Paigen felt strongly that veterans should get extra special attention and an added incentive to buy American made clothing. "Veterans are very much in the news these days and the news is not always good," said Paigen. "Seems to me like a good time to give an added measure to those that have put it all on the line."

Utilizing local factories, Osmium builds all clothing and accessories in the USA, with the bulk of production in the Boston area. Styles range from well-fitting chinos to shirts with beautiful, textural fabrics.

Stoneham, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/17/2014 -- Osmium, a menswear company based in Stoneham, MA, encourages the New England community to buy locally made products and focus on smaller, independent businesses. The Northeast has a rich history in textiles mills and shoe factories, and though most of this business has moved offshore, a growing number of brands are bringing manufacturing back to the area. Osmium's clothing is cut and sewn in the Boston area. Other clothing companies committed to clothing production in the bay state include Ball and Buck, The New England Shirt Company, Sterling Outerwear and Vanson Leathers. "Producing clothing in Massachusetts has created camaraderie between Osmium and other manufacturers in the state." says Osmium employee, Ben Moran. "We all help each other by growing the industry and the needed infrastructure." In this fast paced, global economy, smaller independent brands can be overshadowed by the large multinationals. It is however, these smaller businesses that hold the key to strengthening our economy.

Buying locally made products helps in the following ways:

-Investment in local communities builds employment and economic vitality
-Local manufacturing reduces the environmental impact of transoceanic shipments
-Bringing manufacturing back diversifies our service based economy and provides resilience in uncertain times
-Civic pride is enhanced when products are built in local communities

Osmium has been producing their line of uncommon and enduring clothing in Massachusetts since their launch in 2012. Founder and designer, Mark Paigen built the brand around three main concepts; classic styling with modern fit and functionality, domestic production and, rejecting 'fast fashion' by offering higher quality, longer lasting garments. "It is time", says Paigen, "to prioritize domestically made goods and build the American economy from the ground up."
