Local Swag

I am a little obsessed with procuring the excellent swag from my favorite local joints. It pleases me to support local businesses, but also I have a measure of neighborhood pride. It's a little hard to justify now, since we are so clearly on the map.. and I don't want to be unseemly when I brag about how awesome our neighborhood is. But still.

I distinctly remember our "718" t-shirts from Refinery about 15 years ago (yes, it was).
I've been sporing elementary school gear for a while now, but I'm branching out.

In case you want to know, here are a few good ones:

Superhero Supply: Dave Eggers 826 Valencia project is an inspiration and a joy to behold. Superhero Supply is clever, funny, and totally sincere in its mission to help kids find a love of writing and succeed at school. Good stuff. I love my sweatshirt.

Gorilla Coffee makes great swag. Wanna bring someone a piece of Park Slope? Their graphics are excellent, and the coffee is strong.

Body Reserve Gym: On the corner of 5th Avenue and Union, and housed in a former bank has a swell shirt- an eagle lifting a barbell. Who wouldn't love that?? Apparently, I do.

Cafe Martin's coffee colored shirt with a proud "CAFE MARTIN" emblazoned across the chest.

And of course, ours: Discharge printed on organic cotton, $32:
Get 'em at DK.

Southern comforts

There are so many pretty new things in the store, but I'm going to take this moment to introduce the Little River Sock Mill. Based in Fort Payne, Alabama, they've been around for over twenty years.
The socks are soft, pretty, and organic cotton. Come refresh your sock drawer this Spring.
