Online Store – OHA Apparel

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Ohio Holstein Association has launched an online store, where you can get the OHA logo on gear of all shapes and sizes! There are baby, toddler and youth sizes, as well as men’s and women’s options. There are also stickers, bags, tumblers and more! Check out the Ohio Holstein Association apparel page(s)!

Embroidery Store and Accessories
– available continuously

There will be two stores, – the first will run continuously and will feature embroidered and etched items. Screen print stores will be launched periodically throughout the year, as there needs to be a greater volume of orders to make that option work.

Screen Printed items will be available at a later time. But of course the beautiful embroidered items will be available.

Browse the store to see all the great items available, but items available include (but are not limited to) – Vests, Jackets, Windbreakers, Hats, Visors, Shirts (t-shirts, polos, fishing shirts), Sweatshirts, tote bags, tumblers, baby bibs and so many other options!

All items ship directly from the online store, OHA does not keep inventory. The Association will receive a small dollar amount of each item as a fund raiser and will be using that to give back to our members in some way down the road.

We appreciate you, Ohio Holstein Association members!

Buy your favorite clothing item to show your support and pride in Ohio Holsteins!
