True salt of the earth, they are.
Today I strolled into town to check out the Coen brothers latest, No Country For Old Men. It's set in Texas (cowboy hats, Mexicans), back in 1980 (boxy cars, Javier Bardem's haircut). And then when I strolled on out of there, my Achilles tendon had for some reason tightened up (I know, what do you care), and I was forced to limp 2-3 miles home. I was alright with this, because it allowed me to imagine that I had been shot in the foot. Just like in the movies!
But I digress. Here is the real reason for this post. Some of you out there whom I've never met may have been looking at my site and wondering why my shirts have to be so expensive. Or maybe you aren't. I don't know, maybe I'm out of touch. Anyway, here's the story for all you prospective buyers out there:
My goal for the standard shirt prices is $30 (s+h extra). What you get is a hand-printed, "custom order" shirt, shipped out within the week. By "custom order," I mean that once I've received your order I will go and print the design on one of my blank shirts and send it to you. It will take up to a week for me to do this because I am alloting for problems that may occur (being out of a particular size, not having the time on the exact day the order goes through, etc.). It is more likely to be sent out the next day.
Unfortunately, my current living situation is preventing me from reaching that goal. My equipment is scattered here and there, so are my materials. While this setup isn't permanent, it's going to last another month (maybe two), so the only way that I can really print an order is with great cost ($) and expense of time and effort. What some people might call "My Overhead."
So to all you shoppers out there, please hang tight. It won't be long before my prices drop. In the meantime, if you really need one of my shirts....
