Always wondering where our ill t-shirts come from?? Well now you know… Last week Mike & Patrick explored the factory of t-shirt manufacturing company, Alstyle. Alstyle is one of the main suppliers for our t-shirts, as well as the supplier for many of the other brands in the streetwear industry: DC, Vans, and The Hundreds. We have our more complex shirts custom-made, but Alstyle shirts continue to be the ‘go-to’ blank t-shirts for most of our designs. The tour left Mike and Patrick blown away: the science, complexity, machinery, and organization were top-notch. After all, this place is the 2nd largest t-shirt producer in the U.S.! Thanks to Jim Gordon for being an excellent tour guide, and of course special thanks to Caroline from Alstyle for making it happen and for all of the help along the way! Be sure to check out the in-depth tour footage after the jump.

Akomplice retailer Urbane hosts Annual Skate Deck Art Show
Urbane, our retailer in Steamboat Springs, is hosting their second Annual Skate Deck Art Show on Friday May 7th from 5 to 9pm. Blank skate decks are available @ Urbane for $15 plus a $15 deposit that will be refunded when you return your skate deck for the Art show. It is $10 to enter your own Skate deck. Decks must be returned to Urbane by Monday May 3rd, so that they have some time to hang them all. There is no theme to the show, you just have to put your art on a skate deck. It is your choice whether to sell your decorated skate deck or not. Urbane takes a 20% commission for decks sold during the show. The show will go through the month of May. Live Music, Art and Refreshments will be provided. Stop by to pick up a blank skate deck or call with any questions. (970) 879-9169.
