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.

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...

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...

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.

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.

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.
