wow I love this nonsense lol
I generally dig Mythical State/MFS/etc, but man that’s just a naked Online Ceramics bite, no?
edit: didn’t realize there was a route/ride/whatever involved, was more getting at the new merch line
I actually still do all of the order fulfillment and a bit of admin stuff, but I have not really been involved in the day-to-day since I got a normie job about three years ago. We’re definitely still friends (and practically neighbors) tho so we still chat about his new projects a lot. I’m hoping to carve out some time this year to go back and rebuild a lot of the old MFS content in the new site structure, since that stuff should really be available to go back and read.
Hopefully MSO can find a little niche, we had so many ideas over the years that were never really explored.
That site gives me a goddamn headache.
Also what a fun idea.
haha I hadn’t even looked at the merch.
I’m not a graphic tee connoisseur but https://boot-boyz.biz/ is older than ol’ ceramics and I assume that there are other weird boutique bootleg shirt people around as well. With the bike-themed stuff (this one, smooth jazz lines, a few others) I’m at first excited that a niche that seems like it is marketed directly to me exists, then a little saddened by the very same thought. Ultimately I wish I could impulse-buy one of these shirts when I’m in LA in a couple of weeks so as to avoid this whole introspection thing 
@teepz you do order fulfillment for which one of these uh… concepts?

I think this kind of shit was/is a solid “street wear” trend.
Makes me think of Sci-fi fantasy and a lot of the Welcome Skateboards merch too.
Def shoot me a DM if you do.
Ehhh I just saw the MSO manifesto email in my inbox and it reads like every bro that I imagine would want to hang out at GSC would say to try and fit in and/or get a 5% discount

TC: I would love to make a crewneck sweater with a zipper pocket on the back so you can wear it while wearing bibs

Dustin Klein made a sweatshirt with lower back jersey pockets, it has held up pretty well.
I once stitched pockets onto a t-shirt, it did not.
I had something very much like this!
It’s a Search and State piece, a dense cotton fabric crewneck sweatshirt, it has a single zippered pocket right on the side seam with the pocket interior against your back. the pocket is kinds small tho, just phone/keys sized really.
It’s an XL size but absolutely fits more like a L or even M, depending on your arm length. My wife has co-opted it for chilly weather around-the-house tasks.
Not currently on their website.
edit: found an old press release about it:

It’s true, though I’d like one that won’t eventually shrink to small female person size.
Also I kinda want another P83 jerz but I’m not willing to spend a thursday that far from home.

I have a Kitsbow sweatshirt like this, it’s merino blend with enough synthetic that it doesn’t shrink in the wash

Cutter made a zip up sweater with a back pocket years and years ago. I still have it somewhere.
