KEY UPDATES
UPDATE: BRAND TEES
We heard your interest in T-shirts, and we’re excited to share that we’ve started designing and testing materials! Quality is at the core of Magnus, and we’re committed to making sure these tees meet our standards—nothing subpar.
For this first drop, we’re keeping it exclusive, releasing only 15 shirts in three sizes:
5 Mediums
5 Larges
5 Extra Larges
We want this to be a " first-ever Magnus T-shirt"—almost a limited edition. Depending on how this release goes, we may release more shirts and more designs.
Right now, we’re aiming for a mid-May release, but timing may shift based on material and fit testing.
We like to stay ahead of the curve, which means plenty of planning and preparation. Our T-shirt page is already set up on our site (of course it's hidden currently)—once we have the content filmed and photographed, it’s just a simple drag-and-drop. Almost like magic.
UPDATE: KNIT SWEATER
The Knit Sweater is officially announced! We've been working tirelessly over the past two months to bring this vision to life exactly as we imagined. Here’s a little update on the journey so far.
Our plan is to release 50 sweaters in total. We haven’t finalized the size breakdown yet, but 50 is our goal. If we sell out (which would be incredible), we’ll consider producing another batch.
With Irving, we aimed for 100 units but didn’t quite hit that mark, so this time, we’re scaling back. We want this sweater to feel like a truly special piece—something you will want to get your hands on.
Our tech pack is complete, and now we’re focused on finding the right manufacturer. Quality is our top priority, and that means investing time and research to get it right. Over the past month, we’ve reached out to several manufacturers—some weren’t the right fit, and others didn’t work out, but every obstacle only strengthens our dedication.
We're currently testing samples from two manufacturers to ensure the fabric meets our standards and the fit is just right. Once we review both samples, we'll select our manufacturer. Our first sample from one of the factories is expected to arrive in about a week and a half.
Alongside our sweaters, we want to create an exceptional unboxing and viewing experience. Each sweater will come with a thoughtfully designed hang tag—just a small detail, but one that adds to the overall feel. We're currently developing the design and will be sharing options on Instagram next week to get your input. In the meantime, here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what we’re working on!
We’re considering creating special dust bags with the Magnus logo—if it makes sense financially.
We’re also working on something exclusive—something you’ll only get to see if you purchase the sweater. There may be subtle hints in our marketing, but only those who buy it will truly get to own this special piece.
UPDATE: MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM
This week, we’ve been fully focused on developing the Magnus Membership Program—a free sign-up on our website that gives you exclusive perks, the ability to engage with our journals through likes and comments, and a way to personalize your identity within the Magnus community.
As we’ve said before, community is at the heart of Magnus. Creating a space where you can log in, interact, and truly be part of the brand is an important step in strengthening that connection. Plus, we’re adding special perks to make membership even more rewarding.
We’ll be sharing an Instagram post later this week detailing the perks and officially launching the program across social media!
We're currently optimizing the website to ensure everything looks seamless and functions smoothly. Our goal is to create an experience that feels natural, visually appealing, and works exactly as it should.
We hope this is something you’ll enjoy and want to engage with.
With this membership, we’re excited to see more conversations in our Journals—your thoughts and feedback matter. We value your input and take every comment into account.
WRAPPING UP
This week has been a big step forward for Magnus. Even while on an athletic trip, we’re still able to make progress and get things done.
On the athletic side, the national swim meet was a great experience for everyone, and the SCAD swim team performed incredibly well. It’s always such a positive environment to be a part of.
Looking ahead to the coming week, we’re excited to share more content and progress. Magnus is growing every day, and we’re so glad you’re along for the ride.
We hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s Journal. We’d love to hear your thoughts—are you excited for the new products coming? What do you think of the new membership program? Is there anything you’d like to see in the next Journal?
Happy Sunday, enjoy your day and thank you for checking in.
