The first sticker design

Finally received the first batch of stickers in.  It will be a second before I do the second batch, waiting on more money.  I got them done by Stand Out Stickers, and I was pretty pleased by how easy and fast it was.  A little disappointed tho because my order got held up because there was a second charge to do the holes on the tab.  All in all, pretty happy.

Films for care tags

The full sheet

Printed dark on light

Close up of the film

After much design and deliberation, the final designs for the care tags are in.  Originally, I was going to screen the tag on each shirt, but instead I have decided to print sheets of the designs and heat press them on.  This is for better opacity on dark garments, and for a softer hand.  Plus, I can print 25 tags with each pass!  Efficiency will conquer the world.

Received the proof for the hem tags

This is the proof for the new hem tags.  I'm going through a company called Kiki Kreations out of Canada.  I called and got ahold of a very nice lady who answered all of my questions.  I received the proof just a day after uploading the art.  Also I got a very good price considering that it wasn't a huge order.  There also was a little problem with some of the letters in the mens logo, but she is fixing them and I will get them in about two weeks.  Can't wait!

The official hemtag designs are in

After much deliberation, I have decided to include hemtags on the shirts.  It has been a real debate because of the extra cost and labor associated with them.  But it's all about the quality and the experience, so I've resolved to include them.  There is no point in buying something if you're not getting the best.

The final size will be just over 26mm folded with a manhattan fold to keep any loose ends from rubbing.

Welcome to the Oddblog, the official communiqué of Odditique Studios.  I am the genius behind the oddness.  In this blog, I will attempt to chronicle the humble beginnings Odditique Clothing Co from a mad science project in an attic to a bid for global domination.

Not really.

Right now I must confess that I am pretty cool.  I am a tattoo artist, have a sick beard, rockin' hair, and razor wit.  So cool in fact that I'm just about 2º over absolute zero.  So why this?  Because I have a dark secret: (whisper) I'm a nerd.  No.  Screw that.  I'M A NERD.  I'm also a geek, dork, and dreamer.  I'm a irregular parallelogram peg in a circular hole.  In a world of pretense and posturing where image is everything, I'm tired of trying to fit in.

I also know that I am not alone.
