Its pretty easy to print tshirts inside the US… its not like semiconductor manufacturing.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

T-shirts made in the US are going to be much more expensive than Chinese T-shirts.

American Apparel was doing it in LA and the prices were competitive. They eventually went bankrupt and got acquired by Gildan but it was working well for a time 🤷‍♂️

[-] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago

They can't have been working that well if they went bankrupt.

there were... management issues.

I remember reading an interview with the founder in...I think VICE? Print magazine form. Like 20 years ago or so?

It talked some about the economics of making clothing in the US and all, but mostly I remember the guy having his secretary suck him off during the interview. So yeah...management issues.

I'm the end, you simply can't fix corporatism.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

So true and a damn shame. It's such an unfortunate blight

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

It was 2017 in LA. Despacito was rocking hard at #2 on the Billboards. Of course drugs were involved.

American Apparel was relaunched as Los Angeles Apparel and is very successful and working out of the same location as the original.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Oh that’s so cool!! Thank you so much for sharing, I had no idea, and am glad to hear it

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Made in the us, sure. But you could buy some plain Ts and print them yourself.

Party of free speech btw

I love the First Amendment until they don't like what you have to say.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah it's almost like (the majority of) my fellow Democrats were dumb and wrong for being so anti-gun because at this point, there aren't enough armed Democrats to make a difference.

Oh, people are going to protest while unarmed? That's cute - you saw how well that worked for BLM, right?

Same. I probably never would have heard of this company without this news story. Now it seems I'm going to be buying a few new t-shirts. Good job CBP.

Feelin’ a bit like the classic Reddit drop-ship tshirt spam/scam in here 🥵

No, i'm not making a free account to read the remainder of the article.

You wouldn't print these T-Shirts

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Corporation, they were getting threatened with bogus copyright threats

I think that cop is copied right out of a DC Comic.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

The cop was not copied, the manufacturer owns that image, it's in the story. The shirts were taken because of feelings.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

Is it weird that these look really tame to me?

People were driving around with pictures on the back of their truck tailgates depicting Biden and/or Harris tied up in the backs of their trucks.

A t-shirt showing a police officer who looks like he's from the 1930s and nothing at all like a modern cop looking like he's flinching from a swarm of bees... big fucking deal.

Who was threatened by this? What wimp did this make afraid? Are their worried Druids are gonna start sending bees after them?

lol it was a cola corp shirt? That makes it all the better. I bought one of their triple D shirts a few months ago

Should’ve used acorns.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

bees normally dont go after pigs. but flies do.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

I think they should have gone with hornets. I may not like bees, but they serve a useful function. Hornets, however, exist solely to perpetuate suffering in the world. They should get along with cops great.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

I feel like I missed a reference somewhere. Do the bees represent or reference something?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

Bees sometimes mean bullets

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I thought it represented the idea that on your own you most likely wouldn't be able to hurt a cop, but if you work together as a group that they wouldn't stand a chance.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

TIL. Thanks.

All cops attract bees

Cops getting the Wickerman treatment? I am all for it.
