CRIMEWAVE T-SHIRT.
Until today, if you wanted a "Crimewave" t-shirt, you had to go to the expense of raising cotton, operating a textile mill full of thankless, one-eyed employees, commissioning a team of young Laoatian seamstresses, and hiring men with enormous forearms to squeeze the color out of birds. And, to make matters worse, you couldn't even wear these shirts out in public for fear that one of our dreaded copyright enforcement teams might catch wind of it and shatter your kneecaps. Well, as of today, all of that is going to change. For the first time ever, there is now an officially sanctioned "Crimewave" shirt. Sure, you have to get real close and squint to see the word "crimewave," but it's there, in cursive, right across the bottom of the worm cake. As for the image of the worm cake, it comes from the 1902 Sears catalog. Apparently, back then, women and infants ate worms occasionally. Olive, American Apparel brand, sweatshop free. $16
IGGY IN YPSI T-SHIRT.Iggy Pop grew up in Ypsi. How much credit can the city take for making the "Godfather of Punk" what he is? It's hard to say. It seems to us, however, that Iggy exemplifies the kind of scrappy tenacity and obsessive drive to do things differently that this town is known for. From Elijah McCoy to Winsor McKay, and from Preston Tucker to Iggy Pop, the people who call this city home consistently rebel against the status quo. Iggy is emblematic of that. Wear the shirt with pride. American Apparel brand, sweatshop free. $16
YPSIPANTY DEAL. At one time, Ypsilanti was famous for, of all things, its underwear. If you had lived during the late 1800's, you might have known the slogan, "Never Rip, Never Tear, Ypsilanti Underwear." These are American Apparel, sweatshop free underpants. You can now get two pair for $20. Fuschia only.
One Ypsipanty $12.
