Let me tell you a story about a t-shirt. I was a huge fan of post-apocalyptic RPG Fallout as a kid, and I wanted to let the whole world know.

So I downloaded an awesome Fallout wallpaper, brought it to a print shop, and got it printed on a t-shirt, which I ended up proudly wearing all throughout my high school years (thus ensuring a total lack of girlfriend).

Imagine that on a t-shirt… I know, sexy!

Fast-forward a couple decades, and this brings us to my latest experiments in t-shirt making: the Sidebar X Cotton Bureau t-shirt!

This time I didn’t want to repeat the Fallout shirt’s mistakes, so I enlisted some pros to help out: Cotton Bureau have been printing the highest-quality design t-shirts for years, and I was thrilled when they agreed on a collaboration.

The Shirt

The shirt is available in three versions: tri-blend black or heather white, and 100% cotton navy, in men and women’s sizes.

I intentionally decided to keep things minimalist to match Sidebar’s brand and concept, so the shirt features the Sidebar logo and nothing else! No name, no tagline, no URL, and (thank god) no bulky, futuristic power armor with the American flag floating in the background.

How It Works

Cotton Bureau works on a limited run basis: each shirt is available for sale for two weeks, and it only gets printed if it’s able to accumulate enough sales during that time.

In other words, if you want to get the shirt it’s going to be now or never!

I get $7 on every purchase, which will help cover some of the daily costs of running Sidebar (hosting, MailChimp, etc.) and also help me free up time to improve the site even more.

So if you’ve ever wanted to support Sidebar, now’s the chance to do it and get a kick-ass, extra-comfy shirt in the process!
