More about The Toad culture, which is oriented around community, sustainability and good old fashioned fun — and a little background about the Search for Adventure program and the PepsiRefresh Project. Eleven years ago, Horny Toad partnered with Search Developmental Center, a non-profit life-skills training group that works with adults who have developmental disabilities. The partnership gave rise to Planet Access Company (PAC), which provides training and work opportunities to this important population. To date, millions of Toad items have been picked, packed and shipped with unmatched reliability and enthusiasm by the PAC work crew – cool huh?
Horny Toad’s next challenge was to answer the question, “What’s work without play?” The answer was Search for Adventure (SFA), an experiential travel program that uses proceeds from PAC and a grant from Horny Toad to send Search residents and members of the PAC work crew to have opportunities to see the world outside of the daily routine; not just survive but thrive, learn and experience.
These are experiences that you and I may take for granted but empower people with developmental disabilities to achieve their full potential and lead rich and rewarding lives. With enough votes, the Search for Adventure program will get the funding it needs to make a difference in the lives of developmentally disabled adults. With your vote you can help make that happen. Now that’s fun. Find more toads @ www.hornytoad.com

love the barstow jacket. Perfect blend of class, fun and functionality. You can wear this baby over a tshirt for a casual look or over a button-down and tie for something a little classier but still down to earth. Cotton herringbone gives it a great texture and red plaid lining completes the versatile look. At $135 ($95 on sale!) the price is a steal for such a wardrobe staple.

I love the leighton capris. I don’t have to buy a certain label, but do like clothes that look like they’ll hold up over time. Thanks.
The plaid Raquel skirt is adorable. *ADORABLE*
I don’t pay attention to labels all that much, unfortunately. But I’m trying to change!
I’d love the Carew Shirt for hubby.
I pay attention to all three, but in the end, I have to go with my pocketbook.
When I shop for myself and my family, I go by both style and price. I’ll admit I rarely read a garment’s label before making a purchase. My favorite active wear item at Horny Toad is the Men’s Cayo shirt.
My favorite item is the Rose Marie dress. I do look at labels when I shop because I try to avoid anything made in China.
The barstow jacket would make a perfect gift for my son. I pay attention to style and price. However, pricew always wins in the end
Neal Shorts…comfortable, but still classy.
At this point in time price is a HUGE consideration for me. But if I can get a product that promotes sustainability and is made in the USA for not much more then I would buy it.
I like the Reyna shirt
I like the Neal shorts.

Micha shirt. I look at style first, then price.
The morrison jacket looks very nice. I do look at labels, to determine if I want to take on the cleaning requirements, and also to see where the garment was made. I want to track originating countries to see if how the garment holds up is related.
The Barstow looks very versatile and comfortable,but I also like the Morrison. Keep up the good work.

I like the devan dress. For me, if it fits my budget, then I buy strictly based on how well I visually like something. I have a thing for cotton, too.
1. For me with 3 kids, it is all about price, but the material is also a big factor, sometimes I will pay a higher price for a better material.
2. I like the mali dress

I like the Reyna shirt. And it’s about BOTH style and price. If it’s super pricey, doesn’t matter how cute it is. Same goes for if it’s super cheap and doesn’t have good style, I’ll still pass it by. A balance of both is my answer!

Thanks!
I go for price over name brand when I am shopping for clothes (which is NOT very often). I like the Leighton Capris. I am on the petite side so I wear capris so I don’t have to get pants hemmed all the time!

The Barstow Jacket is awesome! & I look at products before I buy them. I love garments that are made of 100% organic cotton, definitely my favorite :)
I like their mens blue foster shirt. I look at labels all the time. I want to make sure that cleaning it is not going to be all time consuming

I love the women’s Wind Skirt in bordeaux. Cute & comfy looking.

I am all about style and THEN the label. Certain labels communicate quality and I’ll more likely make a purchase of a stylish object if I can trust the brand.
I love Horny Toad… I am especially keen on their skirts and dresses. I heart their Marty Skirt in French Roast.

For me it is style and price. Style is important but I only buy at a bargain. The yolo shorts are my favorite.
I like the rose marie dress, which for me is more about style.
My hubby would look great in the Carew shirt!

I like the marty skirt.
Its about the quality, I can usually feel it rather then reading the label.
OH, and the Devan dress is gorgeous.
