This company started as a movement, rather than a means to capitalize financially. We are sick of paying $25-$30 for a shirt only to read a tag that says "Made in (insert third world or communist country here)". All the best stuff is (was) made in USA. (cliche alert) This country has become a nation of consumers rather than producers. That's why we buy all our shirts and shorts from manufacturers in USA (sorry about the hats. it's hard to find a good Flex-Fit hat made in USA. at least they are designed and decorated here!!!) and we only use local shops and artists for the printing.
We love the fact that we personally know the people that print our shirts by hand. It builds a sense of community and trust. Plus, we get to listen to their stories. Literally, the only reason we exist is because a few people believed in us enough to give us the encouragement and support to try and jump into the already diluted apparel industry with a different approach. Made in USA. Isn't that depressing that "Made in USA" has become a different approach? But the other thing that sets us apart from the others is price.
- Isn't it nice to buy something American made and have it actually be cheaper than the foreign crap?Answer: Yes.
- Are we pioneers or fashion? No.
- Are we crazy to try and have everything made here in USA? Maybe.
- Do we think this can succeed? Definitely.
- This thing has grown beyond our wildest imagination and it's getting bigger. We only have you guys to thank.
