Preview #1: Pricepoints
theadvancer:
This was stressed over for months. My streetwear background made me want to go for a high price point, in the $29-$34 range. But my knowledge for independent lines and their start up price points told me $18-23 is appropriate.
It’s been a great debate, but for my customers I’ve decided to sell our tees for just $19.95.
Stay tuned for Preview #2: Product Quantity

Scholars & Thieves - Vicious History
It’s been a while since a got a tee, but I did and here it is. Vicious History is one of those brands where the hard work is in narrowing down 1 tee to get because you love all of them. If you know me well, it is obvious why I would love this t-shirt, because there is a hardcore owl on it. But aside from that the marksmen is just so bad ass with the pipe and the sick background, and the...

Tee-of-the-Week (Oct 20th)
This weeks tee-of-the-week goes to Old Inventions by Regan Smith Clarke. There is something about brands from Boston, MA being incredibly hardcore like Vicious History, Johnny Cupcakes, and of course Regan Smith Clarke. All these brands really show off their quality through art and are extremely proud of it. I love all of the tees from Regan Smith Clarke’s so it was insanely hard for me to pick...
