Small, Rantanen Retro Circle Logo Wabi-Sabi
One last time, just so we are super clear… this is Wabi-Sabi. It’s not 100% perfect in some way… *Non-refundable, non-returnable, gluten-free and extra awesome.
The Flaw: A small amount of blue ink on the side of the shirt and the collar.
So how exactly is it not perfect, you ask… luckily we have pictures of the shirt and it’s flaws for you to see yourself, but we’ll spell it out here as well.
<day dream music here>
So there we were, just another day of making shirts and living the dream when out of nowhere a bug attacked the guy printing shirts. He was jamming to Bob Marley and channeling his mojo into the perfect chest print when he caught the little bugger (pun intended) out of the corner of his eye and all hell broke loose. He’s not a fan of bugs. Any bugs.
<Commercial break>
We take a lot of pride in our shirts and we’re not really interested in making money off of anything you would’t want to wear the minute you get back from a long day at the office. We want you to love them sooooo much that you’d wear an #AVSAM shirt under your button up work shirt, because it’s that comfy and… you never know when you’re going to have to go all Superman and bust that button-up open to show a Wild fan what #AVSFAM is all about! Anyway, a Wabi-Sabi shirt is barely not perfect. It’s usually a small little flaw. But, we’re into the details and we have your comfort in mind.
<back to the program>
So a bug flew into the silkscreen, bounced off the squeegee we use to squeeze the perfect about of ink through the screen and on to the shirt. This bug was clearly “altered” as we say in Colorado and he nosed-dived right into the shirt, leaving the smallest amount of ink on the shirt…. (see the pictures)
<pause for drama">
… but, not where the ink was supposed to go.
<pause for drama">
Let me explain the feeling that comes over a person when an “altered” fly skinny-dips in the ink and nose-dives on a brand new shirt. It’s like…. you know when the Avs are winning a game and then for whatever reason they just stop playing the same way that got them in the lead in the first place? It’s like that. It’s like you swallowed a piece of your heart and it got stuck in your throat, and then you puked in your mouth just a little bit trying to get it out.
TMI?
Anyway, it sucks! But, we don’t want to send a 98.3% good shirt to the t-shirt afterlife for 1.7% flaw. You could argue that it’s the flaws that make us who we are and why should it be different for a shirt? (we don’t ever toss shirts that are 98.2% perfect or lower btw, we donate those to folks who need them). So here we are, offering this shirt, 1.7% flaws and all to you, for half the price, and hoping you’ll give it a new forever home (preferably free of altered flies)
We know this is crazy, but here’s the number ($10.00 +shipping) buy it, maybe?
* The names, truth and drama were all made up to protect the dude who got ink in the wrong place on the shirt.
Anyway, now that you know the details, it’s your call. No returns or take-backs. Ask your Doc if wabi-sabi is right for you.
Note that we haven’t spent a lot of time color correcting images for this collection. They are the same super comfortable shirts in the main shop and the same awesome colors.
