I stumbled across this local t-shirt company one day in a rather hip gas station in my hometown. I didn't know it was a rather hip gas station until I stumbled in (desperately looking for a beverage while Mac was washing his car). That's Missoula for you.
Anyway, I guess I'm homesick, because I find myself really wanting one of these as a cozy souvenir of all that I miss. Yes, I know I rarely ever wear t-shirts with graphics. Yes, I do tend to think they look better on boys (or boyishly framed girls...I mean that as a compliment!). Yes, I really hate the boys-in-v-necks trend. Yes, I think much of the posings on the website might be described as a wee over the top. Yes, it's making me miss home all the more anyway.
Speaking of missing home all the more, these t-shirts are not just available at hipster gas stations, but at the Missoula Farmers Market as well...which I also dearly miss. I'm not sure if this company is the source of the famous/infamous (406)* t-shirts or not (anyone out there know?). But heck, I miss those too. (Photo at right, courtesy of my lovely cousin, Jess)
* (406) is the area code for Montana telephone numbers. Yep, we have only one area code for the whole state. It rules!
