Misprint Monday: North Korea Unveils New Intercontinental T-shirt Cannon

Great piece on new North Korean technology at Bluerock Public Radio’s website. Satire is a great weapon. It does give me occasion to tell of my interaction with a t-shirt cannon. Some years back I was at a minor league hockey game of the Providence Bruins. Some up with people looking folks skate out between…

Misprint Monday: 9 foot dryer through an 8 foot door

It looks innocuous enough sitting there with a pallet jack next to it, but that dryer (oven) does not fit in my shop, at least without extraordinary means like taking down a cement block wall that is weight bearing. I rented a full size 26′ Penske truck and went to pick up my purchase and…

Hanes is Buying Alternative Apparel

Hanes bought Alternative Apparel as the garment industry continues to consolidate. It makes sense for Hanes to buy a straight ahead top fashion brand in the decoration world giving them a wider range of products.  I find it encouraging that they actually mention social responsibility, a term not bandied about so much lately.

T-shirts from Hell

We are headed to the SGIA show in New Orleans October 10th, it is coming right up. I hope to check out my pal Brandon’s shop Inferno Merch and Screen Printing when I’m in New Orleans, so look for that in a couple weeks. I love the wide range of people you meet in our…

Thieves and Companies that Enable Them

I proudly printed the Farm Aid 2017 shirts this year, most of them organic cotton and some also union made and nearly all USA made. So it is extremely disturbing to see a host of companies selling designs stolen from Farm Aid printed and embroidered on a bunch of crappy shirts. Repeated emails and filings…

Field Trip to Printed Threads and The General Store

We recently took a field trip to Fort Worth, home of Printed Threads and The General Store.  Joined by my good buddy Paul Riva, Owner/Founder of Apparel Graphics in Oakdale, CA, we barely made our 5am flight out of SMF and in just a few hours we were picked up at Dallas Love Field by Brett and…
