No, i'm not making a free account to read the remainder of the article.
lol it was a cola corp shirt? That makes it all the better. I bought one of their triple D shirts a few months ago
Yup
Its pretty easy to print tshirts inside the US… its not like semiconductor manufacturing.
T-shirts made in the US are going to be much more expensive than Chinese T-shirts.
American Apparel was doing it in LA and the prices were competitive. They eventually went bankrupt and got acquired by Gildan but it was working well for a time 🤷♂️
They can't have been working that well if they went bankrupt.
there were... management issues.
I'm the end, you simply can't fix corporatism.
So true and a damn shame. It's such an unfortunate blight
I remember reading an interview with the founder in...I think VICE? Print magazine form. Like 20 years ago or so?
It talked some about the economics of making clothing in the US and all, but mostly I remember the guy having his secretary suck him off during the interview. So yeah...management issues.
It was 2017 in LA. Despacito was rocking hard at #2 on the Billboards. Of course drugs were involved.

American Apparel was relaunched as Los Angeles Apparel and is very successful and working out of the same location as the original.

bees normally dont go after pigs. but flies do.
I think they should have gone with hornets. I may not like bees, but they serve a useful function. Hornets, however, exist solely to perpetuate suffering in the world. They should get along with cops great.
Should’ve used acorns.
Party of free speech btw
Now I want one of these.
Feelin’ a bit like the classic Reddit drop-ship tshirt spam/scam in here 🥵
In fact I can't find the infamous one on the site.
Same. I probably never would have heard of this company without this news story. Now it seems I'm going to be buying a few new t-shirts. Good job CBP.
I feel like I missed a reference somewhere. Do the bees represent or reference something?
All cops attract bees
Bees sometimes mean bullets
I thought it represented the idea that on your own you most likely wouldn't be able to hurt a cop, but if you work together as a group that they wouldn't stand a chance.
TIL. Thanks.

Eliminate ICE.
No quarter.
fragile fucking softcocks ;;
Corporation, they were getting threatened with bogus copyright threats
I think that cop is copied right out of a DC Comic.
The cop was not copied, the manufacturer owns that image, it's in the story. The shirts were taken because of feelings.
You wouldn't print these T-Shirts
Cops getting the Wickerman treatment? I am all for it.
