FINALLY!!!! progress on the new shop
we are in the midst of slowly moving to our new space...we are doing this without halting production (so as you can imagine its a
pretty absurd cluster fudge). regardless, the big hold up was getting cement poured in our new basement, which has been done...
so its pretty much ready to rip. the slow trudge has begun, slating the presses to be moved next week sometime.
prepare for some bitching.

to meet some new folks, put faces to names, and blow off some steam in general.

in fit and feel, these shirts are only .50 more than our standard brand pricing and feel like a million dollars in difference. give them a try on your next order.
