First One Out the Door

We sold our first "I Whacked Tony" shirt today. It's nice to see someone else appreciate a design that we worked so hard on. Hard work and a little bit of luck to get the perfect look. It's always exciting when the first order for a new design comes in. Can't wait to see the next design on an actual t-shirt. That's one of the best parts, seeing our designs on actual t-shirts for the first time. Hard to say whether the first prototype or the first sale is better from an excitement standpoint.

Back to the Drawing Board

After the nice way our "I Whacked Tony" shirt came out, we have gone back to the drawing board again to work on some new designs. Last night was spent working out some of the minutia of running a business. We also worked on setting up for a small, local business order that will be going out shortly. After all that, there was a great deal of time spent on a couple of designs that should see the light of day shortly. Here first, of course. One may be a bit over the top for most folks and the other is more in the vein of our "I Whacked Tony" shirt. Not gangster/mafia inspired, but, well, I guess you'll just have to wait and see for yourself. Both designs look like they are shaping up nicely though. Can't wait to see how they look on a t-shirt.

Here it is!


Well, it is finally finished, and all ready for its close up, or rather just a quick picture, but enough for you to see what's going on. Our latest design to come crashing out of the Torched Threads art studio and sear itself to a t-shirt. Our "I Whacked Tony" tee.

We think that the red really stands out nicely against the black tee and the textured edges capture the feel and spirit of the classic gangster/mafia/mob movies that we love so much. The Godfather movies may end, and The Sopranos may be over, but with this shirt, the good times never have to. If you are interested in getting one of these of your very own, you can. Just click "Here" to buy from torchedthreads.com or "Here" to grab one off of ebay. Either way you can't go wrong with this high quality shirt. More to come.

A Good Night

Last night was a good night for us. A design idea that we had been concentrating on and spending alot of time with since Friday finally came to fruition, along with an unforeseen happening that added to the look of the final design as well. It's funny how something that looks like a complete disaster on a Saturday can turn around and end up being the best thing in the world on a Monday night. Guess that's just how things go sometimes. We were really excited to finish up the final printing on the prototype shirt and get the design into production because we thing you guys and gals will really like it. Especially if you are fans of all the great mob/gangster/mafia movies and shows like we are. You know, the greats like Goodfellas, Untouchables, The Sopranos, Casino, etc. The list goes on and on, and we are big fans of the genre.

Anyway, we don't have any pictures of the new design yet, so I'm not going to give any more information away on it until we do, but stick around because that should happen sometime later today. We are really happy with the way this one came out, and we hope you will like it as well.
