Did you have one of these shirts and wish you still could find it?
Never had a chance to secure one of these shirts for your collection?
Wait no longer!
http://www.shop.vershke.com/category.sc?categoryId=3
And remember... Always FREE SHIPPING and NO TAX!
While your there, check out the other new shirts!
LIMITED EDITION BRIDWELLFEST '10 (Funds go to the Bird.)
CASTLE ROCK SPIRE
FACELIFT '09 (Funds go to the YCA.)

and more to come this week!
Starting in 2010 we are donating 10% of our pre-tax profit (the lawyers said we had to write it that way) to the Yosemite Climbing Association and YOSAR. Other big corporations donate 1% and many do nothing but we like to think a bit bigger than that. (Exceptions to this rule are shirts produced for specific fund-raising events such as Facelift and BridwellFest '10)

Most important tshirt ever made *b*u*m*p*.
Does anyone else remember the "I don't care what you think" tshirt that had the photo of the guy getting his face stretched by G forces? I'd drop coin for that one as well.

I went to enlarge the 'hollow flake' t-shirt picture to check out the ass of the girl modeling it and only the t-shirt image came up.
You won't keep customers with dirty tricks like that I tell you.

GregD... That may be true, but seeing as I am her dad... No worries, she will be flattered! Actually, thanks for catching that... I will change that today so you can see the, ehmm... artwork.
TwistedCrank... Patience, Patience... every old shirt you ever wanted will become reality with time. (Except those from big corporations who don't like me... that's their problem...)

I suppose that next there'll be another disco revival, or those lame "No Fear" tee shirts will reappear.

That's OK - the weenie roast shirts never did anything for me. Though I can think of a few weenies that I wouldn't mind roasting...

Hey, so do these shirts shrink much when washed? Pre-shrunk?
It's important because I'm between M and L. I plan on scoring a couple shirts too!

Well I just ordered a M to see whats up. I can always give it to my sexy wife if it shrinks too much.
Simon, are all you shirts similar in material? If I get the size right once will it be a general rule of sizing your stuff?
Have you used that locker yet that I sent ya?

Cosmic... The shirts just went live on the site last night and they will not be leaving any time soon so... I can wait for the windows to get nice and dirty.
Blue... In the beginning (meaning, not now) my shirts were fashioned for hip, trendy Euros with slender bodies and bulging pecboobies*. Now, I have seen the error of my ways and the shirts are made using Anvil organic blanks that will not shrink much unless you lack knowledge of the washing machine/dryer relationship. If you insist on washing cotton in hot water and then drying for 68 minutes on high, then order a XXL for your medium body. If you know to wash cotton on cool/warm water and dry on low (or drip dry is best) then you can order your standard size and all will be well.
Of course, a shrunken shirt on pecboobies looks hot!
*pecboobies are pecs that are so developed that they could be mistaken...

Hmmm, that explains a lot of wardrobe malfunctions....I do my own laundry, my wife prolly knows this. Maybe I should consult her.
Problem is...I do large loads with a 'generic setting'. So now I gotta adopt a discriminatory pattern in my laundry???? F*#k!
I thought all laundry was entitled to equal treatment.
(oh yeah, I can introduce politics into ANY thread, baby!!!!!!)
After I test drive your shirt under MY washing regimen, not you womanized project, I'll report back for other males.....
Flame on!!!!!!

I thought all laundry was entitled to equal treatment. What are you, some sort of laundry-commie or something?
And yes, one of the great differences between the sexes is that men can't even imagine washing or drying clothes separately, and are mystified as to why the machines even have several settings.

I drop my laundry off, and tell them Cold Water, not separated. It costs more to have the laundry separated. I don't buy white clothes - separation problem solved!

You can wash everything together...
Just throw your babe's snow white, lacy Italian thong and panty set in the washing machine with your dirtbag climbing pants and wall gloves, set the machine on "hot & thrash wash" and, when the machine has finished walking its way across the garage floor, yank the stuff out and put it in the dryer (along with the dog's bed and your wall shoes) and set the temp on "nuclear." Three hours later you will have a toasty warm mini-shirt and a girl who is ready to beat yer arse with your new A5 hammer. No sex tonight...

Thanks for the link. My original one is long-gone. I remember the day it arrived though. It was the day before my Ph.D. qualifying exam at Cornell University. It completely changed what happened the next day.
Qualifying exams in my department were always grueling and a dreaded rite of passage. Usually these came after 2-3 years of research and study. You sat before your faculty advisors and often an outside faculty member, and they bombarded with questions for hours. The interrogation was designed to test your command of the literature, probe the limits of your knowledge, test your mettle under pressure, and wash out the unworthy.
Obviously, these were a big deal and most students would dress up for the event. However, I took a different approach, skipping the suit and tie that day. Instead, I walked confidently into my qualifying exam wearing my favorite climbing shorts and my new "This Ain't no !@#$% Wienie Roast t-shirt." I had chalk on my hands from an intense bouldering session and the only sweat was that from a solid workout. I emerged from the exam room four hours later, tired but smiling. I laughed for hours afterwards.
After you climb El Cap, the rest is easy.
