The AJ Reach Company

June 23, 2015

Before Modell’s, there was the AJ Reach Company. Before Eastbay, there was the AJ Reach Baseball Catalog (with 100% less dunks). Before David Montgomery, there was AJ Reach himself. Reach would start making moves in the City of Brotherly Love as a second basemen for the Athletic Club of Philadelphia, where he would help them get a pennant in 1971 before retiring in 1975 after ten years of service.

Post-playing-career Reach didn't stray very far from the diamond though, as he would open the premier sporting goods company in the area. His factory was located in Fishtown, and was recently converted into apartments. Yes, a man with a mustache built an empire in Fishtown that now houses a bunch of dudes with mustaches. The company was known for, among other things, producing all of the baseballs that were used in the American League.

Reach would also help found the Phillies, serving as the first president of the team from 1883-1899, with Philly fans calling for his firing around 1884. (Probably.) The man knew how to baseball, and baseball he did, helping his business partner Benjamin Shibe move the Athletics to the American League as well.

The catalogs he produced featured his products, as well as reports on the entire American League. Our shirt features his 1913 catalog, with Chief Bender (real name, promise) as the cover athlete.

The shirts are super-comfy Next Level tees, and are available in store and online!

Size Charts

Select your brand and style to read more about how your purchase will fit:

Use these tips as a general guide when finding your measurements:

Chest/Bust: With your arms at your sides, measure around the fullest part of your chest, across shoulder blades and under arms.
Waist: To measure your natural waistline, wrap the tape so it intersects your navel. Keep tape flat, but comfortably loose.
Hips: Stand with your heels together and measure the fullest part of your hips. Make sure the measuring tape is level all the way around your body.
Inseam: Stand up straight, and start the tape measure high in your crotch. Straighten the tape down the inside of your leg to the bottom of your ankle.
Hat Size: Measure your head about a half-inch above your eyebrow where the hat will sit. If you are unsure or between sizes, buy the larger size.

American Needle Fitted Hats

If you do not know your size, first determine where on your head you want to wear your hat. Usually it is worn about a half-inch to an inch above the eyebrows and/or just above the ears. Have a friend hold the tape measure (cloth, plastic, or download a printable version here) at the point where you want the hat to rest on your head. Insert the tip of your little finger between the tape and your head. Record the measurement and find your Fitted Hat size using the chart below. This should provide you with a comfortable fit.
