It’s all about the fit, baby. Most T-shirts are too short and too wide. After a couple washes, those Standard American shirts fit me like a Greek condom: pretty damn well.

But I REALLY HATE UGGS! See.. I can hate still!

Oh yeah the girls that work there are almost always hot as microwaved tortillas. And they are always wearing like.. the leotards and stuff.

I just reread the feline leukemia part!!!!

Other retailers like the Gap and J.Crew sell plain t-shirts with nothing printed on them for about the same amount or more.

Btw, Buffalo Exchange is one of my fav places to find things..

And, when I divide the price I paid by the number of times I wear the shirt, I’ve got an amazing bargain!

Sure, we could sell ‘em for 10 bucks (and we do sell them for less than the retail price to our wholesale customers, who make up the bulk of our business) but in the world of retail, there is a magic formula used to come up with product pricing. There’s a lot of factors that come into play - the cost of retailing is high - setting up a store is a time-consuming, expensive investment, employees, rent, etc.. And you should sleep well at night knowing that your buck spent with AA is a well-spent one, going towards giving our garments workers a good wage as opposed to some expensive marketing campaign and professional models (we do neither).

And hey, we’re trying to make a buck, too.

It sounds like you’re not a typical stick-skinny Silverlake hipster (I might be wrong of the last 2 descriptions), you might want to try the 50/50 or our new Tri-Blend track t-shirt. Since they’re a blend of cotton and other stuff, they’ve got a bit more give and I’m known to not take off the Tri-Blend for days on end..

I work in the giant pink factory in Downtown LA. They won’t let me sew so I work in their web department.

Kind regards,

For what it’s worth, I work at Dirty Microbe, and we’ll sell you one for $15 with funny stuff on it.

If your shirts are printed on Hanes or another brand no one thought to “grease” with advertising, what’s your markup?

BTW, Busted Teesare funnier.

I’m not sure Busted Tees are funnier. It’s close.

Although, “You have died of dysentery” is pretty good. Maybe that’s just nostalgia talking.

They’re more expensive, too.

And Mike, Dirty Microbe accepts submissions. Only you can make them funnier than Busted.

Mike Bijon: Just being compared to BustedTees is totally awesome! Those guys are funny. Our company is just four months old and we only do about 1/30th of the business BT does right now, but we’ll catch up.

Charley Daniels: Totally! Submissions ar where it’s at. We love submissions like a D&D kid loves Mountain Dew and Funions.

American Apparel tees fit better, last longer, and are soaked in awesomesauce at the factory.

I think I’ll take a stroll by the vat of Awsomesauce for a whiff - I hear we’ve got a fresh batch.

Prada and Calvin Klein have also had racy ads.
