Can't wait! Are they printed on triple A's or american apparel?

[traintracks]

^ i hope triple A. the quality of triple A is so much better than AA, in my opinion.

Very true but it's more of a personal preference to others.

Izam...you design stuff. Make something for us, and I can print it up through a new guy I want to try out. I wanna see how his prints hold up, and we can do a limited print run. Are you down?

SAME GOES TO ALL OF YOU WHO DESIGN! It'll be your design credit, and I will sell them through the OTWS bigcartel store.

is this offer still valid? I'd like to give it a try

[rescobot]

I think I'm going to give this a shot as well!

[rockinobey]

yeah count me in as well, hopefully it will be on tripleA tees...

[DJGuamstyles]

Yes, Triple A tees were used. We're probably only going to print up the heather and white tees, because the black ones we had quite a bit of trouble with the quality of the print on them. Not sure if it was the method of the screens, or just the process followed, but we had to scrap a handful of them, due to smudges, mis-prints, misalignment on the pocket logos, but the heather and white tees came out damn near perfect. Those I'm confident selling to you all with no gripes, on yours or my end, even though it's really just for us. It's not like we're selling to accounts or anything. I was able to do some great stuff, for a great price with the guy I used this time, and he's local and prints hella fast. I'm getting a ton of good feedback on this design, and rightfully so, my friend's been designing for a long time, and had a pretty nice following until the economy crashed, and money dried up. Hopefully, me, along with some close friends and connects, can help him start his new venture, using our outlet here, and elsewhere, to promote himself. I just wanna utilize his talents while I can, and while he's still got the time for us. So generously take that into account, and stock up if you wholeheartedly like this design. I want to be able to give back to him as well. He ain't charge me shit, and I don't forget that! He may be the next Taka Hayashi! Hehe, who knows right? But yeah, I want to print more colorways of this design in the future as well, like an olive green tee, navy, and so on, so expect it to return later later, as long as we don't make Vans mad. Sometimes when you make a legit product, then you get their attention, and then they come in with the iron fist. I've been trying to phase out our logo association with all of the Vans stuff, and hopefully they understand that this is really all for them. We create the conversations, ideas, and opinions about a few core parts of their brand, and we attract the people we set out to attract, whether on the consumer, retailer, or creator end of Vans. That's a win-win if you ask me! As long as I'm not directly associating myself with them, as in branding and stuff, we should be good. I've never considered this type of shit before, but now that we're growing, I need a big reality check, and I gotta make sure I don't screw this up for the rest of you! So yeah, thanks for hearing me out! Just needed to speak what I've been thinking about lately! Now, back to the tees!

Well said B. Seems like Vans is a grounded enough brand to know that OTWS exists to celebrate the brand and not capitalize off it.

I'll be getting both tees and look forward to more colors!

[rockinobey]

Well said bro, really excited for these shirts.

[rescobot]

Good shit Bill. Hopefully we can get more designs in as well. I for one want to make a design for OTWS. Vandol and I were talking about this the other day and want to contribute, since we both come from a graphic design background and work together at the same job, so I'm just overall stoked on the tee have Dennis did. OTWS 4 LIFE!!!!!!!

[DJGuamstyles]

Right on! Throw them ideas at me!

[chrisVH]

Stoked on these tees.
