Greetings all:
I know some of you have been having problems with our new site and I wanted to let you know that I apologize for any inconvenience. This was certainly not our intention. First and foremost, I just found out today that there was an issue with various items defaulting to force you to buy 3, 4, even 8 pieces of a particular style. While that would definitely work to our advantage, I have a feeling it wasn't good for any of my customers. I am happy to tell you that this has been fixed (or so we think). It is possible that you may still encounter a product that has not been corrected. This is because we had to actually go through each and every product on the site and manually fix them. Unlike machines, we humans do sometimes make mistakes once in a blue moon so please forgive us if it turns out we missed any. You can feel free to e-mail me directly if you encounter such a problem and one of us will right it as quickly as we can. You can reach me at matt@10againclothing.com. Furthermore, you can feel free to contact me at this e-mail with any other questions/comments you might have. This now beings me to the second problem we've been experiencing: our info@thelogoshop.com e-mail address. For whatever reason, these e-mails have been getting lost. I believe this problem is fixed as well but would still urge you to contact me at my direct e-mail should you wish to correspond, praise, complain, vent, rant, chat or whatever.
On a somewhat related issue, we're also having a problem with out of stock items still appearing in the drop down menu of sizes. This means that you won't actually discover if the size is out of stock until you try and add it to your cart. This of course sucks and we are going to have it fixed very soon. Sorry about that one.
For those of you that ordered some of our newest shirts, I'm happy to tell you that we just shipped the first orders out and the shirts looked amazing. I thought they were so great I actually wrote a special blog about them. The three designs that are on the white body (BAND ACHE, JAIL-O and HOSTAGE) were printed on our original, super soft 50/50 blanks and they look and feel amazing. On that subject, I've read that some of you think 50/50 is a big step down from 100% cotton and simply will not have any part of it. Some of you even think that the reason we use 50/50 is because it's cheaper and we can make a little extra coin from it. Well I've got two words for you: UH-UH.
I'm fairly confident that this longstanding stigma towards polyester dates back to the seventies dicso era. As most of us that love Wackys are now in our forties, I imagine for many of you the thought of polyester immediately conjures up images of bad disco attire and people like Denny Terrio. Please believe me when I tell you you're way off on this one. While it's unlikely that you'll find me wearing a pale blue polyester tux with navy trim and ruffles, poly/cotton blended shirts are the softest, most comfy, vintagey type of tee shirt you can have. Furthermore (and this is important), they are no less expensive than 100% cotton so please don't think this is some kind of cost saving maneuver or that we are cheaping out. If any of you are familiar with the brand Junk Food, most all of their shirts are 50/50 and they have about the nicest t-shirts in retail today (second to ours of course).
I hope this has cleared the air on some things. Again, any of you are welcome to contact me at any time about almost anything. I enjoy hearing from you and sharing in my love and appreciation for Wacky Packages which I truly wallowed in as a child. My eleven year old daughters door is caked over in the stickers she too loves equally as much as I did which is a total thrill. It's so rare to find something that translates from generation to generation which is really my favorite thing about having the privilege of being able to produce these shirts.
I'm making a special code for readers of this forum which will give you a 20% discount for the next week or so. It's WPFORUM1. Thanks for reading and more importantly, thanks for buying.
Most sincerely,
Matt Levy
