Made in the Shade

Made in the Shade US is locally owned and operated by Mike and Vanessa Waters and is based out of Fort Myers, Florida. We offer handcrafted, all-natural products such as Beard Oil, Beard Balm, Beard Shampoo, Cologne Roll-Ons, Puppy Paw Balm, and Tattoo Balm. After a few months of research and experimenting with various formulas, we found what worked the best while also ensuring that only all-natural, premium ingredients were being used such as African shea butter, raw cocoa butter, organic coconut oil and jojoba oil. We were honored to learn that Rich Havyer, from Golf Central Magazine, was impressed with our beard products. “My beard feels brand new. I have also noticed that my split ends are few and far between,” he said. He also mentioned that from applying the beard products with his hands, he has noticed that his hands are now moisturized and has helped with dryness. We, at Made in the Shade US, also take pride in giving back to our community and strive to do so in any way we can. For every logo wristband we sell on our Etsy shop, we donate 50% to the Gulf Coast Humane Society in Fort Myers. Also, May is Mental Health Awareness Month so 10% of all our sales for the month of May will be donated to Mental Health America. In honor of Father’s Day, Made in the Shade US is releasing a new scent… Coconut Rum! We thought it was the perfect scent for those bearded men living in SWFL that love the beach, sun, and palm trees. A scent that will scream SUMMER and will be a reminder of warmth and relaxation.

Wake Up Your Golf Glove Game

Red Rooster Golf launched the sport’s newest premium golf glove and unique subscription service with a focus on giving back to the game. “We surveyed more than 3,500 golfers in the past 60 days,” said Red Rooster founder Kerry Moher. “More than 80% of survey respondents admit they don’t change their glove often enough.” While the distribution channel for most gloves drives up costs, Red Rooster gloves will be sent directly to consumers with an optional subscription service and no-cost shipping. The lineup of gloves will be manufactured at the same facilities and by the same process as the biggest brands in the sport. Along with offering a flexible, unique subscription service model, Red Rooster will also help golfers “PLAY IT FORWARD.” For each glove bought Red Rooster will donate a glove to junior golf initiatives. “Not only are the gloves high quality, like anything I’ve worn on Tour, and the get-give opportunity is an awesome way to support junior golf,” said Brad Fritsch, a former PGA Tour member and supporting founder of Red Rooster. Red Rooster launched a successful Kickstarter campaign in May followed by an eCommerce launch on www.redroostergolf. com in summer 2021. “This partnership will allow us to put a new glove on each young person’s hand in our program,” regardless of their ability to pay for it”, said Brandon Baker, CEO of First Tee Triangle “and will allow us to create even greater equity and inclusion during our classes.”
