Thanks Jim, a fellow Pelican designed these shirts for me, Nicolas Hunziker.

After India f'ed up Spring 09 production to the tune of losing 75% of sales...I had to bring shirt production back to the U.S. My new motto is "low margin is better than no margin." Pants and jackets have to be done in India, with a trusted supplier, because there is no U.S. manufacturing option.

How did I miss those? The shirts look great!

Seriously, Shaun, those shirts rock! Can I check out your lineup (I wear a medium)?

I am a lucky SOB that gets a check...going to put it towards my trip to SE Asia...

The total being sent out is something like $100BN (lost track of the exact details). This was done during the last recession also. Opinions differ on how effective or wise a step this is. My personal opinion is it is a terrible idea. But President and both parties in Congress felt otherwise.
Right. Thanks. Like a national Christmas bonus.

I was reading someplace that the only things still made in the US are guns and hookers. So now you know how I'm going to spend mine.

If I get one...

thanks, fall 08 is probably our best season so far in terms of design. all I need now is a miracle bridge loan to have them finished in June.

Tishabet 05-20-2008 07:01 AM
straight to the student loan!

Shaun - do you have an on-line store?

Shaun @ Tru6 05-20-2008 07:19 AM
We don't, not allowed to, but we are in Z'Baby and Babesta in the City (also just got into Apple Seeds on W25th) as well as online at

http://www.maxandmaudes.com/little-traveler.htm and and a few others I can't remember now.

they have Radu's RSR and Nicolas's Carrera6, Gurney and Stewart T's. I want to do a run of the RSR for adults, just haven't had time.

The Gaijin 05-20-2008 07:30 AM
Thanks.

We make beer here, too. Lots of good local microbrews which deserve your check. I had a great locally made stout last night that was seriously almost as good as a Guinness. Mmm, good.

My check is stimulating new brakes for my car.

berettafan 05-21-2008 04:56 AM
our purchases are what they are but it's helping to pay for:
bedroom furniture (had same cheap stuff for a LONG time),
batteries for the 911
trunk carpet for the 911
alignment for the 911
deck on rear of house
lord knows what else.

A much needed vacation.

And many thanks to those who contributed so that I could receive. :D
