The birth of a T-shirt

kit — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:30:29 +0000

Just this past weekend a whole new set of t-shirts were born in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District. We’ll soon be shipping out the M-XL 53 Miles Per Burrito shirts that have been out of stock for way too long, as well as the un-goofed $0.00 9/10ths design in both gray and blue!

Back in October, when I placed placed the last order, Jeff, owner of the loin, shot some footage of the shirts rolling off the assembly line and posted it up to his blog. It’s pretty rad to see the shirts coming to life.

Now that you know where ZPG shirts come from, maybe you should go pick yours up *hint*hint*. I’m now accepting orders on M-XL 53 Miles Per Burrito shirts. They should ship by mid-week. The blue and gray non-goofed $0.00 9/10ths will be up by the weekend.

Tees have arrived

Be one of the first 10 tee orders, get a free patch.

Welp, the new tee’s are in, and there are some really good deals to be had. First of all, to celebrate our ridding of Zazzle, the first ten people to pick up a 53 Miles Per Burrito shirt will get a free ZPG patch included. They’re freakin awesome, and you’d normally have to drop five bucks on one any other time. Right now, throw down $19 bucks and get both.

Secondly, we goofed our print graphic on the $0.00 9/10ths shirts, meaning the Zero Per Gallon shirts have a little printing mistake. We don’t feel right selling them to you for full price, so we’re selling them for 10 bucks. We’re hardly making anything on it, so take us up on the offer before these are gone.

All the tees are printed on nice, cozy, tight-knit American Apparel t-shirts. ZPGs are in slate gray, 53 mpbs are in black.

Zazzle’s Gettin’ Dropped

Let’s face it. Zazzle’s not the ideal solution for ZPG. If you’re fortunate to be near a ZPG dealer you can just go and buy one of their fabulous shirts for a mere $20 + applicable taxes. But a lot of you folks aren’t near any ZPG retailers. So you suffer and pay some god-awful confusing $27.82 9/10ths price plus inflated shipping and applicable taxes and by the time you got the package, wrapped in the carcass of a dead baby seal for all we know, you were pretty much over ZPG and never wanted to see us again.

This is a very un-ZPG process. We like simple. We like recyclables. And we like straightforward. So in the next month or so, ZPG will be ridding ourselves of Zazzle once and for all, and shipping out shirts ourselves.

What this means
Since I have not decided to invest $18,000 on an on-demand t-shirt printing set-up and our warehouse space (closet) is a little too committed to flannel from my 90’s grunge era to match the product depth of Zazzle’s offerings, this is going to mean our selection will be diminished. So consider this fair warning, if your biological clock has been screaming at you to buy that 53 Miles Per Burrito onesie, you better do it now, baby or no baby.

However, if you’re one of the majority who just wants a nice looking t-shirt with one of our designs on it, you should be happy. The new shirts will be printed on nice, fitted tees. The Zero Per Gallon design will be on a classic Blue, and the 53 Miles Per Burrito on a hot little black number. Domestic shipping will be less than with Zazzle, and they’ll come in Polyelofin, which is recyclable (depending on where you’re located). I’ll even throw in a sticker or two. And when we get these freaking awesome shirts in, they’ll be even cheaper than the cheap ones on Zazzle.

Keep watching, because between now and then I might just offer a pre-order deal. In the meantime, buy that Zazzle merch you’ve been eying before it’s discontinued.
