I've been on a sticker rampage as of late (my laptop and notebooks need love too) and thought I'd find some cool ones at Strange Cargo. Came up empty-handed, but did run into a smattering of other fun trinkets.
What do we have here? Wigs, toys, Chucks, fun 80s paraphernalia, random junk, new and used apparel and of course their signature draw: made-to-order t-shirts. So if you're looking for that special gimmicky tee for a bachelorette party or a Kitson boutique-inspired shirt (remember the 'Team Aniston' vs 'Team Jolie' tees?), Strange Cargo is the joint.
Yes, the trixies and chads congregate here. I was bumped a few times, but hey it's Wrigleyville and when it comes to push and shove, I win!
Having changed my Halloween idea to the last minute, I give:
1 "strange" star for giving me t-shirt options in different colors and sizes. I had a color in mind, but the more I dug through the racks, the more I trouble I had deciding which one to pick. 50 cents per regular size letters and $2 for numbers. Not bad, not bad...
1 "strange" star for helpful staff. I was greeted by employees when I came in. After picking out a shirt, a guy saw me wandering among the crowd trying to figure out if there was a line or not. I heard, "YOU miss, what can we do for ya?" Sweet. Here's what I want my shirt to say, can you do it? Yes. Whatever I wanted it to say, they did it. I picked a font (look up at the shirt with the sample fonts) and color of the lettering.
1 "strange" star for quick service. I double-checked what the guy wrote down. He gave me my pick-up receipt. I paid at the register by the entrance. The guy helping me said they were a little backed up and gave an approx. 30-45 minutes time frame to pick up my shirt. Due to it being a Saturday afternoon, I went in expecting a longer wait time. I was relieved that's all it took and not an entire day.
1 "strange" star for being so close to restaurants and bars to go to while waiting for your finished product. It's also right off the oh-so-fun 22 Clark bus and near the red line. Wahoo!
It's a fun store to check out for custom made shirts, sweatshirts, shorts, pants, etc. and other stuff they offer.
By the way: They use mostly American Apparel brand t-shirts, which, if you've never worn one before, can run a little small. It's best to go up a size or two (and there's nothing wrong with that!).
One of my favorite stores in the city. I have had so many t-shirts made here it's ridiculous. I actually don't like the fit of the blank shirts they sell, so I usually hit up Unique Thrift Store for my own, then bring it in ($5 off!).
Besides the t-shirts, there's loads of other great stuff in here: the kind of junk you'll find at Uncle Fun but less of it. Sticker packages from the 80s (Dukes of Hazzard and ALF stickers? Really?!), great postcards, very funny fridge magnets and related humorous/hipsterized gear essential for strategic placement in the modern apartment. I just bought myself a wee bank with "I'm saving up for some good weed!" emblazoned on the side next to a picture of a 50s little boy grinning like a Cold War junior zealot! I splurged, what can I say...
No matter how many times I go in the store, there's something else that always makes me laugh--the signs on the wigs (on a shelf at the back of the store) warning people not to touch them. Each wig has its own sign, not-so-subtley informing the public NOT to touch the wigs. Really, really funny and to my knowledge I have never seen anyone so much as breathe too closely on any of them.
Some other great stuff I've picked up at Strange Cargo: a mousepad with an image of Jesus carrying a boombox on his shoulder; a rubber ice tray that produces ice shaped like marijuana leaves; a child's accordion; one of those 'metallic shavings' toys where you make hair or a moustache on a person... except this one was more adult in nature of the hair placement; tiny little ninja figurines; Rocky Horror patches and stickers; Dia de los Muertos figures.
The store can get pretty busy, but they're always prompt with the shirts. I have personally never had a problem with the staff, they've always seemed fine to me. Hell, mostly they seem like people I wish I were meeting for a beer after they got off work. Mabye the people who did have "problems" just wandered down from Wrigley and weren't expecting to see counter people who looked like they couldn't give a shit who won the game.
Stylin' baby.
Nice stuff, any place that sells Garbage Pale Kids cards AND Married with Children trading cards is ok with me. They have some really original t-shirt designs.
Good place to find some unique stuff.
Fun! Fun! Fun! Kitsch! Kitsch! Kitsch!
My eyes bug out of my head every time I enter this store. Every time I come here I see something hilarious or surprising and then I dart around the store shouting to whomever I am with, "Look at this...Oh, wait, look at this! LOOK AT THIS!"
Tons of funny, trendy, off-centered, pop-culture influenced t-shirts. You can get old-school sports tees, or current ones. There's up-to-date players and well as classics. Lots of puns, timely jokes, etc. Tees with Ditka, Lou, Ozzie, Fukudome, Zambrano, Lovie, Cutler etc, making the players and coaches into icons. Totally rad!
They don't just cater to the sports fans, though. I'm sure they're catering to the audience with the store being so close to Wrigley. TV shows, movies, political figures, musicians, all in t-shirt form. They customized shirts too...There's a wall filled with designs to choose from. And they carry other thrift-store clothing, not just the lovely tees.
And the shoes! Tons of Chucks, people, in all sorts of colors...Fab! And good deals too. I think my sis walked out of here with some cute flats for $10. Sweet!
There's all sorts of trading card goodies in the front by the registers. They have NKOTB trading cards, people! I had those when I was a tween (but we weren't called that back then). Lots of other throwbacks too....Garbage Pail Kids! I wish I knew what I did with mine...
Strange Cargo offers so much and is pretty inexpensive. Even if you're not looking to buy, you'll see plenty you want. And, you'll leave with a smile on your face from some ridiculous-ness you just read on one of their shirts...
I go in this place everytime I pass it. Usually I have no issues here.
T-SHIRTS
I have gotten t-shirts here before. Once I got a calen carr themed tshirt I designed, no issues! Also I got a city of chicago seal on a red tshirt there, and it looks amazing. They charge by the letter, so it can get pricey, but the seal of chicago shirt was relatively inexpensive. Also, they have plenty of fat guy sizes. I'd recommend going here for tshirts.
CHICAGO FLAG MERCH
This place has a gang of chicago flag merch! They have wallets, stickers, mini buttons, belt buckles, magnets, patches, and an array of designs for shirts and hats that you can have made. Top notch!
HOW THEY MADE ME ANGRY
This is a one-of-a-kind place that can get by on the strength of what they offer. It'd be nice if they had better service, though. They have a sign on the door that says "No Cell Phones" and a sign at the register that says you should finish what you're doing on your mobile phone--even texting!--before you pay because it's a common courtesy. I think it's a great sign as no one should be treated like a second class citizen just because they are waiting on you. Anywho, I am the only person in the store on a Wednesday afternoon. I take my purchase to the register, she tells me how much it costs, I get out my credit card and--AND THEN--someone yells to her from the back that she has a phone call. What does she do? She stops waiting on me, and takes the call. I hate to assume, but it sure didn't sound important from her end.
Respect is a two way street. I know this is a hipster type place, but she could have at least treated me kindly IRONICALLY, you know?
Oh well, I'll probably still go back and buy Chicago Flag merch. Besides, next week that girl will probably be backpacking through Europe or on tour with her band or living in Portland, so I really shouldn't hold it against the place.
Alright, I'll admit it. The whole retro fashion fad? I don't get it. I stopped wearing my '80s outfits for a reason. But if vintage is your thing, then browse through the racks at Strange Cargo.
The racks and shelves are full of retro clothes, shoes, jeans, pea coats, accessories, and more. While most of the customers found perusing here don't look like they even remember the '80s, they appreciate the quirky store for its old trading cards ("Saved by the Bell"?!), button-pins, and hundreds of iron-on T-shirt decals.
And just in case you don't find a design you like, or you have one of your very own you want on a shirt, you can have it custom-made for you. To match, the store also has some great graffiti-art baseball caps and an extensive collection of old-school Vans and Converse.
I bought two pairs of tiger running shoes here and I love them! I bought them for a sweet price too. I've shopped here for many years. Once I bought a Michael Jackson wallet that I used until you could no longer see his face and it started falling apart. I think it was only five bucks. Every now and then I find a cool bag here or a postcard I need. I always want to try on the wigs but I've never been sure about proper wig trying on etiquette.
They can put almost anything on a shirt for you and have tons of Iron on's to pick from. I never seem to have much luck finding something I would wear here but it's really all about the shoes for me when I go. If anyone who works there reads this please stock more green shoes!! I will love you forever.
And if Alf trading cards are your thing (they aren't mine) you will find them here. Tons of 80's trading cards.
I love this place, that is all there is to it. I got a t-shirt here with Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction on it with the awesome "I'm a mushroom cloud layin' mother @%$*#!, mother @%$*#!" quote on it!!! Very cool store.
This place needs to see a doctor stat, because it's teetering on the edge of a bi-polar disorder.
On one side of the store you've got custom t-shirts that blend into vintage clothing followed by racks of Forever 21 wannabes and finally into a selection of shoes which ranges from cool Chuck types to strange fake leather boots.
I do love a place that let's me create my own t-shirts, after all, I obviously have some amazing slogans up my sleeve. Add to the mix the softness of American Apparel and I'm a happy gal. T-shirts are usually done in about 10 minutes, unless you go on a busy day (read: St. Patty's, pre-any Sports season).
The store lost a few points with me when it stopped making Michigan State shirts (even thought the owner is an alumn). When the largest group of MSU graduates lives in Chicago this screams poor business decision.
All that being said, I must be bi-polar myself because a few of their designs are folded neatly in my closet, ready to bust out for Bears/Spartan football season. The convenience of the location and lack of competitors in the area mean I'll continue giving them my money, and they'll continue giving me shirts that have nothing to do with MSU.
Fluck Flaggers?
Lexulous is the new Scrabulous?
Daley's Lil' Quarter Bitch?
Get that perfect sentiment in a perfect summer t-shirt form, because they make custom t-shirts here at waaay better prices and with waaaay more options than the other places I checked out.
Handled special requests and designs at the last minute with ease - including downloading a pic from the internet that i wanted put on a shirt, but wasn't something they had - only took a few minutes and a very minimal charge - other places quoted me days of time and at least like $20 extra to do the same thing - umm, jigga no....
They dealt well with multiple people standing in front of them giving totally conflicting directions ("Use the block letters - wait, no - the old English ones!" "Green" "Red - or should it be white....I said black, right?" "No" "Yes" "What?") and figured it all out without giving us something really jacked up. There was only slight eyerolling toward the end, which was pretty understandable by then. Took maybe 20-25 minutes. And nothing was misspelled.
Lots of other cute and random tube socks, toys, cool shoes and just random fun crap - including a collection of sunglasses from the 80s that I swear I donated to Goodwill 20 years ago - which my kid then, of course, promptly bought. Next shirt - "Strange Cargo bought my old shit from Goodwill. And then I bought back."?
Really cool place to go. With 113 reviews there isnt much more to say.
You'll find something in this joint &&& there is a book store next door that might be interesting to check out.
We visited this store to have some t-shirts made for a contest and boy were we pleased! They have a wide selection of images to put on your t-shirts but also allow you to use your own picture or do custom lettering. They use American Apparel t-shirts which is an added plus.
The sales people were very nice and helpful and we were able to pick up our t-shirts within 20 minutes of placing our order. Their prices were fair for a custom t-shirt. I highly recommend for custom t-shirts.
Very cool place.
While I was having a t-shirt made (Cubs, whaaat?), I found a hot pair of red pumps and some naked women postcards that I needed to buy as well ;) And all of it was only $38!
The staff was super friendly though there were a ton of people in there; my t-shirt only took about 20 minutes and looked great - I will def be back.
I had never ventured over to Strange Cargo before, so when I saw their deal on Groupon, I thought now is the time.
I paid $8 and received a $16 voucher to spend here. They have a large selection of customized Tees, Chuck Taylors in every color you can imagine, combat boots, vintage hand-bags, funky laces, and socks. I found the longer I browsed around, the more I wanted. Finally, I decided on an orange leather hand bag with teal birds sitting on a green stick. It's roomy and looks awesome with my teal winter coat. I also bought socks because they were fun and you can never have too many pairs.
When I made my way to the cash attendent and told him I had a Groupon, he thought that was really cool and honored it without a problem. I will be back here soon.
My husband always comes here to get a t-shirt made for himself or as gifts for friends. They have a big problem centering their iron ons and you have to tell them where you want it centered exactly.
I got a really cool pair of Van's boots here that I had not seen anywhere else. They have some cute clothes and a nice selection of knick knacks. Plan on spending some time browsing.
I keep going back to this store, expecting something wonderful to have happened. It never has. It's a dingy t-shirt shop with lame selections. They also claim to have vintage stuff and accessories, but if you're really shopping for decent vintage I'd try Clothing Optional, or maybe Land of the Lost if you don't want to travel that far south. The book store next door is really awesome, though, and deserves at least a 4-star rating.
Lots of stuff crammed into Strange Cargo. Worth multiple trips because I have always found something new depending on what mood I'm in. All that retro stuff really brings me back.
This is one my favorite stores in Wrigleyville. They feature very cool vintage inspired as well as custom t-shirts, converse, vintage leather, accessories, toys, pranks, old posters and home decor. There is something for everyone here and I guarantee that you will not leave empty handed.
I was super excited to introduce this store to my 4 year old because it was one of my favorite hang outs when I was a teenager. He absolutely loved it. He is a big fan of monsters and was beaming from ear to ear when he found a magnetic bald guy toy featuring a green monster face for himself and a Johnny Thunders candle to give his daddy for Father's Day! He also had the opportunity to meet Jay, the store owner. Jay is super friendly, down to earth and just plain cool. After we had checked out, my son eyed a really cool magnet from the TV show The Munsters that he just had to have. Jay was super sweet and gifted him the magnet...and since then my little one has asked several times, 'When can we visit Mr. Jay again"?
They have some cool stuff for decent prices. I got some sweet high top Pumas for only $29 today! As well as a nice shirt for $17. Can't really complain.
Here's the thing: I LOVE Strange Cargo. It's fantastic. And everyone for the most part is very agreeable and awesome...
But... one of the girls in their store is trying to convince people that a Youth Medium tee-shirt is the exact same size as a Women's Medium tee-shirt.. which any lady with any ta-tas to speak of will tell you is most certainly not the case.
I sent my boyfriend in to make us some custom shirts and he came out with a youth medium for me, with the excuse that some lady had told him that was the right size. I thought he was an idiot until I went in the next day and the girl (who is gorgeous and perfect and has never been a medium-anything in her whole life) said the same thing to me as well.
I explained to her that I normally wear a size small in women's but had wanted a medium because I was going to be running in it. And when I put on the Youth Medium, it not only choked me - it barely covered my rib cage.
She and the Owner (or Manager) were totally agreeable and helpful and gave me a new custom shirt free of charge (and let me keep the old one, which I will now let my cat wear, as its about her size).
In conclusion- Strange Cargo is AWESOME and I totally recommend you buy all of your random tee-shirts from them. But a Youth Medium is not a Women's Medium. Ever.
The first time I walked by this store all I saw was a New Kids on the Block poster staring back at me. Luckily, this did not deter me from finally taking the plunge and going inside.
On my lunch break I decided that I needed a new Obama pin. So I stroll over to Strange Cargo to take a peek. This was my first time so I had no idea what to expect. I walk in and start perusing around. I was shocked. They have tons of cute clothes for incredibly cheap! I bought an adorable little dress, some hot Olson twin sunglasses, and a much needed new Obama pin. $37. That's all. I took my purchases back to work where I got tons of praise.
I didn't have enough time to really commit to the shoe section. I shall be back.
I'm just on the heels of a fantastic Saturday afternoon impulse buy here. Wandering here on a whim following a great brunch at Pick Me Up, I perused the vintage leather jackets in search of a bargain and found one in particular that fit perfectly and seemed in good shape -- minus the inner lining.
The owner came up to me, noticing my close examination of the jacket, and asked if I had any questions on it. When I pointed out the torn lining, he instantly offered it to me at half-price. The sexy jacket was mine. And it was good.
Very friendly customer service, good deals, and a large array of all sorts of goods ensure that I will be back for return visits.
Finding a store that you can get a gift for damn near ANYONE in your life is rare... let alone without spending your whole paycheck...
All the folks who work there are pretty rad in general. They are all about supporting local business, helping you make the perfect personalized t-shirt, or keeping your old school garbage pale kid trading card collection up to the highest of quality.
The price is almost always reasonable, and every piece of jewelry or shoe I wear from there land me compliments literally every time I wear them. The place can get really crazy at times (cubs season, what?), yet the staff keeps it together.
Go get a t-shirt made. Go buy a talking pee wee doll. Heck, just go in and look at the rad postcard collection. You cannot walk into this place without feeling a smile creep over your face.
Cool shop. I didn't have nearly enough time to check out everything but long enough to buy Jack Kerouac and Hunter S. Thompson t-shirts. I think I spotted a some 'Nam era combat boots. I've made a mental note to return.
Awesome place. I love the odds and ends they have. And its all pretty cheap. They also have some awesome shoes that I love and they are cheap too! I haven't gotten a shirt made there, but I know if I ever need one, they're the ones I'm gonna go to...I'm not really sure why I didn't give them 5 stars...maybe its because their service was kind of lame...I mean it wasn't bad, just not really good.
p.s. the wigs look awesome! don't touch them though!
While I enjoy all the "Neat Stuff" inside this review is about their shirt making abilities.
Imagine: Three girls trying to find a store to make 15 shirts all slightly different for a college homecoming trip...in 2 days...the weekend of Halloween. We were literally laughed out of another shirt making store which shall remain nameless. My friend called and they said they could get it done in our 36 hour deadline. I brought in all the shirts, they were extremely friendly, super nice and when we picked up the shirts the next day they were AWESOME and not to mention cheaper than some of the other places we'd looked.
They saved the day and our weekend - THANK YOU!
Um I'd be grumpy too if I had to work in Wrigleyville. I have always had a great experience with the staff. They are all very nice and helpful. I go here if I need a great t-shirt that nobody else has. They have tons of iron-on decals. Everything from Iron Maiden to Andre the Giant. They have thrift items and cool shoes plus accessories. There is also a section of funny toys and movie memorabilia. What else could you ask for? Oh yeah, I love that you are not allowed to have your phone on in this store.
DIG IT!
I like this place. I have found cheap shoes in a pinch several times. I have never utilized their t-shirt customization services, but love that the option is there. It's also a fun place to kill some time and browse.
This is a really great store because you can custom make shirts! They have good quality shirts and great price! I got a custom made going away shirt for like $30 bucks. Great deal. They also sell hard to get items like Batman converse. They also had a ton of Obama stuff during the election. I highly recommend.
I went here to meet OUR ROYAL HIGHNESS, QUEEN ANDY for his fitting because as you all know, he's going to be one of the models for the yelp fashion show this Thursday!
They have funky shoes, accessories, a little bit of cool used clothing but they REALLY rock the house with walls and walls of cool, funky, funny, and cute designs to choose from for t-shirts and hoodies! You can also have custom shirts made... I think I may get a couple really cheesy ones made for myself but it's just gonna take a while before I actually get get on it since I can't decide which ones to do...
- bob barker pick meeee!!!
- erik's wife
- i designed this. neat hu?
- a sucker is someone who takes the time to read long text on t-shirts.
- don't you know who i am?! (neither do i...)
- "your mom" (written in japanese characters)
yeah i know... cheesy =)
How much do I love thisplace? I actually went there last night right after the Cubs game let out!
Strange Cargo has never let me down. They always have a great selection of tees, shoes, and bags. I've been needing a new tote bag, and I've been having trouble finding one that fit my style and wouldn't fall apart. I really didn't want to come down here while the Cubs are at home, but I knew I'd find what I was looking for, and I did.
Unfortunately, my ears practically start bleeding from the moment I walk through the door. I wish they allowed booze in the store, because keeping track of the number of "bro"'s and "kyote"'s (the word is pronounced CUTE not KYOTE!) would make for a fun drinking game. And the orange raspy-voiced "kyote" trixies have a habit of hogging up the mirror, even if you were already using it. That said, this is far from the store's fault, and I'm glad that they do so much business.
I think this will have to become my new Great America - I'll have to take a day off just to go down there.
Vintage is often another word for expensive. But not here.
This place has a special place in my heart since I bought my first pair of Chuck Taylors here.
My favorite part of this store is the the prints that they will put on a shirt of your choice. Where else could you get a "The Fonz" t-shirt that looks brand new?
This is also a good source of Cubs gear, especially during the season.
It only loses a star for its immense ability to attract the largest amount of Trixies and Chads I've ever seen in a so-called, "alternative store." Or outside the line at Barleycorn.
Seriously, I went the night before one of the last Bears games...looking for a tee shirt to wear. Something semi-vintage looking, cute, not like the stuff you can pick up at Jewel. Something I could wear around the house or out walking the dog, and not look like a super jock. So yeah, I head over here thinking its been a cool spot and I've always had luck in the past with unique finds.
It's packed to the damn gills with girls in Ugg boots and guys with popped collars, and I about wanted to barf, seriously. The people that work here were very obviously fed up with the obnoxious number of people...they aren't really known for their freindly nature as it is (part of the charm). The kind of people that talk really loud so everyone can hear, are perma-attached to their blue tooth headsets, shout profanitiy nicknames (Hey beeyotches!) loudly across the store, or just your generic older trixies with huge effing diamonds looking for an XS kids shirt to show off the mounds of silocone. :)
So yeah...I guess on a non-busy day or whatever, this place is a good stop for cool trinkets, some funky clothes etc. I've gotten some great deals on clearance stuff and have had some cool t-shirts made for family members and friends out of town that don't have access to cool places like Strange Cargo.
I just can't handle rude people (the customers) in large groups. I just can't. And one cash register doesn't help the flow of things either.
That's all. It's worth it. Sorry for my rant about rude people. I'm sassy today.
I love the shoe collection at Strange Cargo. People compliment the shoes I buy here more than any others. They are trendy, but affordable enough that you don't feel bad tossing them after a season... or when your dog decides to eat them for lunch...
Also, check out the button collection. They're so fun to make fridge magnets with!
I am giving Strange Cargo 5 stars even though they pulled the heinous trick on me and made me eat gum from 1983. Okay, okay, no one from the store actually force-fed me the stuff, but who in their right mind would be able to resist a square of still-sorta-pinkish gum from the package of Topps Superman II movie cards? I know, right? You totally would've tried it, too. It cracked - more like shattered - in my mouth and when I tried to chew, it turned to powder. The powder would not mix with my saliva and I had to spit out my ancient gum because it tasted a bit too musty attic-y for my Bubblicious palette. But still, I give Strange Cargo 5 stars--because where else will I even find Superman II movie cards? Or Ghostbusters II, for that matter? (Whatever happened to the first movies' cards, I don't know).
On top of all that, I can get (and have gotten) cool heat transfer shirts (I have a thing for timeless rockers. My heat transfer shirt collection now consists of Jimi Hendrix and Jem & The Holograms). And I can get wicked cool bags and purses for cheap(ish). And old leather jackets or other vintage stuff. And shoes and wacky tights and a totally awesome skull print pocketbook and weird postcards and hats and scarves... They've got all sorts of fun stuff. The staff is friendly, the heat transfer shirts are made quickly and did I mention they have Superman II cards?
Maybe this store has lost its luster for me since a) I'm no longer in high school, and b) it is now over-run with Lincoln Park Chads & Trixies searching for some t-shirts and shoes guaranteed to be a conversation starter so they can pick up.
There are now entire racks dedicated to overpriced Cubs shirts, Sox shirts, and Bears shirts. You can get better deals at thrift stores, people. And these shirts are all the same. You could outfit the entire shopping population within a one-block radius and it would be like pod people.
They still have some cute shoes, some of which are reasonably priced, and have a toy/goodie section.
But what I really used to like about this store was the fact that it had original, fun, quirky tees. Now, you can pick up most of this stuff at any number of stores, and you won't be the only one.
My, how times change.
This place has been around for years and continues to have a cool selection of both vintage and new hip cloths and shoes. Nice selection of Converese Chuck's and Vans, but inventory changes. Some funky novelty toys, Mr. T dolls, Jesus bandaids, fart cushions..mmm! The jackets, tshirts, shoes keep me coming back and all the other funky stuff like the sunglasses, postcards,. jewelry and bags keep me entertained. You can get great, disgusting fun, weird, retro T-shirts made to order here.
Where else could I purchase my very own custom Camel Toe T-shirt ?
Strange Cargo is one of the best stores ever. I have probably a dozen shirts from here. A tee with a random dude giving the finger, my Tom Selleck shirt (which is going to get me laid one of these days, I swear to God), numerous Cubs shirts, lots of witty, fun things to wear. And you can make your own shirt. I am going to make shirts for the Gay Pride parade for us at work, today, actually. It's a great store to browse in. Check out the sale section, I have so many awesome shirts that were only $5. They have shoes and accessories (sp?) but I mostly go for the cool tops. The people are nice, quirky but nice. Goto this store next time you are in Wrigley.
Update:
I had awesome shirts made for the Pride parade. I needed four shirts for us beer kids; I was having trouble picking out the lettering, colors, etc. The stoner dude was very patient and helpful, he didn't seem at all bothered that I took forever to make a decision (he was stoned, so...). And our shirts turned out great. We look so gay and so full of pride. :)
Highly recommend.
