Limited edition Holiday 2010 53 Miles Per Burrito Tees

I like the holidays, what can I say. Twinkling lights, gifts, parasitic plants that offer an excuse to make out with someone at random. So this year, I’m not stopping with the free shipping. No way. Instead, I’m excited to introduce you to the new, limited edition holiday tee collection.

First off are the special, holiday-ish Navy and Cranberry colors–the perfect attire for your company’s black tie event (just tie an inner tube around your neck). Printed up just for the holidays, not only are these shirts a in new colors, they also were printed using a special water-based, dye removing formula. Consider it our holiday gift to mother nature (and our t-shirt printer. Plus, it results in an awesome, slightly off-white color underneath. There are close-up shots on each that really show you how cool these are. Cranberry and Navy tees are available in sizes S – XL.

And if drop bars and downtube shifters aren’t hip enough for you, our special edition fixed gear tee is hella what you need. Designed for Trickster Treat, a Halloween Alleycat in San Francisco, it features ZPG and I <3 TL (Tenderloin) spoke cards, a red toe strap, and glow in the dark aerospokes. Hot damn, that’s a fly ride. A portion of the proceeds from the fixie shirts will go to Up On Top, an after school program for disadvantaged kids in San Francisco. Sized only in M – L.

So there you have it. Order away before they’re all gone, and don’t forget to take advantage of the free shipping on orders over $30.

This weekend is the 2010 San Francisco Bicycle Expo, and if you’re anywhere in Northern California I highly recommend a trip to check this out. From a cyclocross race and pump track to big and small vendors to a bicycle fashion show, this event has it all if you’re a cycling fan in the Bay Area.

Collabo 53 Miles Per Burrito Fixie Shirt by theloinsf

I will be hocking my wares in a shared space with my friends at Ideum Apparel. Not only will I be selling all the awesome products available on the web store, but I’ll be selling the extremely limited edition collabo tee designed by my friends at The Loin SF. Not only do you get a sweet shirt, but I’m donating a portion of the proceeds from its sale to this year’s Trickster Treat charity, Up on Top, an after school program for disadvantaged kids in San Francisco.

So come by and say “Hi.”

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.

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.

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.
