Check out the sleek new logotype that we will now mix into our arsenal. Keep an eye out for this new design to appear on upcoming winter cut-and-sew apparel as well as on a lineup of fitted hats! More info to come regarding those items. In the meantime, check out the new fall shirts and look for 2 more designs coming later this week to the online store!
Last night we stopped by Kickballers in Georgetown to support the launch of everyday pple, a new brand based out of DC. From the mind of LaVan Anderson comes this humble brand rooted in an “if it looks good wear it” mentality. We obviously support looking good so we support everyday pple. Big thanks to them for having us, and Kickballers for hosting the event. Furthermore, check out our new stuff in person at Kickballers in Georgetown.
Okay, so since we can’t assume that everyone who lives in D.C. or anywhere else in the nation is always up on their current events, we’re here to fill you in on the deal with the new K-Street design and just what it’s all about. (Yes, people, it is actually based on a real event and is more than just a super cool fancy design…whoa!)
So here’s the lowdown. In the beginning of 2007, Jeane Palfrey, who was dubbed by the press as “the D.C. Madame”, was charged in a federal indictment for running a high-class “call girl” agency around K and 16th Streets in downtown D.C. Her clientele list apparently consisted of many high profile government officials and employees whose names were being sought after by the press and astute observers like us. Lawyers and lobbyists affiliated with the high profile clients fought back to suppress the list being made public, but a few did end up getting leaked. P.R. nightmare anyone?
“I’m sure as heck not going to be going to federal prison for one day, let alone, four to eight years, because I’m shy about bringing in the deputy secretary of whatever,” Palfrey told ABC News correspondent Brian Ross in an interview to be broadcast Friday on “20/20.” “I’ll bring in every last one of them in if necessary,” she said. That quote was taken from ABC news, where you can read more details about the whole debacle.
So… this is where we come in, fulfilling our duty from the land of politics to provide the color for the follies of our upstanding politicians. As always, we are embracing the idea that our designs can look good and have a strong message at the same time (though we will try and keep it up “above the belt”). So now you can look at the design with a fresh eye and an educated perspective! We have gotten plenty of positive feedback on the design from Aplomb fans, so pick one up because they’ll be gone faster than you can say “How Much Do I Owe You?”
Also, don’t sleep on the K-Street Skate Deck and the K-Street Girls Design coming out soon!
Here are a couple pics to show you some of the extra steps we took to ensure that we step up our game a bit for the Fall 07 and make sure we deliver the best product we can.
We’ve added waterbase silk screeens on the inside neck lines along with our super soft custom tags that tell you the size of the shirts and also look super dope!
We’ve also added these cool clamp labels to the right sleeve’s of all of the new guys shirts. Just to add a bit of style and let people know your representing the “a”. Flip it inside out and…
…you’ll notice the dope “land of politics” label on the inside! We think that its the small things like this that ensure a quality product and make our shirts not just another t-shirt in the closet. Enjoy!
Just got back our newest custom cut and sew girl’s shirts! They are a modified version of the guys gothic shirts…just a bit hotter! Check them out in the store and purchase them right here on the site. Also, keep an eye out for new girl’s designs also coming very soon.
