Gail Nilsson
This month we are highlighting our Director of Operations, Gail Nilsson!
Gail has worked for 4T2D/ Fourbital Factory for eighteen months providing leadership and hard work to the team since the moment she arrived. When asked about her favorite part of her job she says, “I love the variety, every day is different, and I love that a big part of my job is working out how to make stuff.” Reflecting upon what she likes most about 4T2D/ Fourbital Factory she states, “We have amazingly talented people who are all multiskilled and willing to try new things.” Her favorite 4T2D product are the tees, mentioning that her son refuses to wear any other tee!
Gail is originally from England! She’s now lived in the United Stated for seventeen years and Vermont for twelve. She doesn’t have any pets, but she does have two teenagers! Outside of work she enjoys sewing clothes for her daughter, quilting, and spending time on Lake Champlain. Her favorite thing to do in Vermont is enjoy the outdoor concerts at the Shelburne Museum in the summer.
Gail’s favorite area in Vermont is Shelburne Farms expressing her love for walking many of the different trail options and taking in the variety of beautiful views.

Customizable Tees
This month we are highlighting our custom tees, taking our classic jersey pocket tees for men and our solid jersey tees for women that you can now personalize! Through a variety of colors and unique graphics, you have the creative freedom to choose a tee that fits your style. Decide if you’d like the Sunburst, Surfer, Jungle, Mountain Sunset, or Fortitude Logo Graphics, all designs that encapsulate the 4T2D appreciation of adventure and the outdoors. Each graphic has a specifically chosen color that really pops and makes the graphic look that much better.
These tees are a great choice to easily match with any outfit for any occasion. Made with our perfect blend of cotton and modal that feels incredible against the skin and is super comfortable to wear all season long. We can assure you these tees are ones you’ll never want to take off.
We wanted to allow you to make your own one-of-a-kind tee that will stay with you for the long run. The customization aspect lets you create a shirt that really feels like your own. In your own preference and style, we make and print these tees for you on demand all under one roof in our factory in Burlington, VT. Get your design on and customize a tee online or visit our retail store on 750 Pine Street!
Behind vermont lines:
Shelburne Farms
Gail’s favorite place in Vermont is Shelburne Farms!
Shelburne Farms is an education nonprofit created to inspire sustainability. They offer education programs for educators and students to learn more about food systems and sustainability. You can watch cheese-making, check out their woodworking shop, and browse the gift shop amongst other things!
Shelburne Farms is also a prime location for a scenic Vermont walk. Offering multiple different trails to walk along and an outstretched view of acres of land and views of Lake Champlain. With farms, forests, and historical landmarks, this is a walk that gives you a variety of different things to see. For our animal lovers, there are different farm animals you can also see on your visit!
The view of the farm building itself is breathtaking. Built by one of the Vanderbilt descendants, its architecture is grand and amazing to see in person. Shelburne Farms is a staple to visit in Vermont, a classic location for locals and tourists alike. Filled with so much charm, it’s a lot of Vermonters’ favorite spots. With an unmatched view that feels like it’s out of a movie, you should stop here given the opportunity.
